Beach Read Recommendations
Are you someone who enjoys reading a book while enjoying a nice day on the beach?

I recommend checking out these picks from Amazon below, which are full of romance and mystery.
- Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score
- The Tenant by Freida McFadden
- The Last Thing He Told Me: A Novel by Laura Dave
- Every Summer After by Carley Fortune
- Beach Read by Emily Henry
For more options, I recommend trying Audible -which is a great way to find good reads, especially if you like listening to audiobooks. On top of that, they are currently offering a limited-time offer. That includes paying $0.99/month for the first three months of your plan -which is nice for anyone wanting to try out Audible for the first time. The offer is valid until the end of July ( July 31st).
In Conclusion
So what are your plans for the summer? Plan on hitting up the beach for fun in the sun? If so, I hope this list will give you ideas on what to pack for your next beach trip. If you see something that stands out, leave a comment below.
And until my next post, have a great day, everyone, and remember to protect yourself from the sun -toodles!

About Me

Hi I’m Brooke. Your fellow blogger and entrepreneur from the east coast. Welcome to my world.






I love spending time on the beach, and miss being able to do it so easily (I used to live in an coastal area of the UK). If I get to do it again, which I hope too soon, these tips are great to remember! Thanks for sharing them!
These are some great items for the beach. Thanks for sharing.
What a perfect summer list! Reading this from my home in a beach town in the Philippines, I was nodding along the whole time. You are so right about the waterproof phone pouch—it’s an absolute lifesaver against sand and surprise waves. And that portable cooler is a brilliant idea for keeping drinks from boiling in the tropical heat!
My summer plans are basically just enjoying the local beaches here in the Bicol region as much as possible. Thanks for sharing such a great checklist!
Not headed to the beach anytime soon, but this list makes me want to plan a trip just to use all these essentials.
Live very close to the beach so knew a lot of these but some I didn’t think of!
