What’s In My Beach Bag: Soulful Summer Essentials

The intention-filled items I never hit the shore without.

A well-packed beach bag is part utility, part sanctuary. It holds what you need to protect, nourish, and express yourself mind, body, and spirit. Whether you’re off to a sandy cove, a dreamy resort, or a spontaneous beach day with friends, here’s what’s in my bag to keep the vibes grounded and glowing.

These picks are more than cute - they’re intentional, feel-good, and full of soul.

 

What to Include:

Alma Collective Must-Haves

The Calypso or Sahara Bandana - doubles as a hair wrap, sun shield, or altar cloth

The Nova or Ojo Evil Eye Earrings - radiant yet light enough for all-day wear

The Brisa Necklace - fun, colorful, and full of movement

The Tulum Bracelet - waterproof and playful pops of color

 

Wellness + Ritual Favorites

Rose water or sea mineral mist for face refresh

Natural sunscreen (clean ingredients)

Small crystal or grounding stone (ex: moonstone, turquoise)

Mini journal or book to read (if the day calls for it)

Reusable water bottle or herbal iced tea

 

Practical Magic

Wide-brim hat or sunglasses

Soft sarong or throw blanket

Clean snacks (fresh fruit, coconut water, or something made with love)

 

Beach Bag Tip: Pack with Presence

Use a woven tote or canvas bag that feels beautiful and intentional

Make space for what nourishes you - less “just in case,” more “what brings joy”
