One last trip to the beach is always on the to-do list before summer ends and fall begins. After all, who really wants to say goodbye to the sand, the sun, and all the fun by the shore? Not taking the trip is like admitting defeat and giving up on the good times we all want to keep going. But before you get going, take a trip to Ocean State Job Lot for all the things you’ll need for the hot and hazy days. Plus, you’ll know that you’ll get them at the absolute best prices around, too!

Cozy and Comfortable

The first thing you want to make sure you have covered is that you and the family are comfy. Whether that’s in a beach chair suited to your body’s needs or lying on the sand getting a tan atop a cozy beach towel. Either will work as Ocean State Job Lot has them in a variety of colors and sizes just for you. Don’t forget the sunscreen, too. Remember you want to get tanned, not burnt, while you are at the beach. So, pay close attention and reapply sunscreen every couple of hours.

Snacks and Hydration

Eating out on the road can get costly, especially when you have little ones along for the ride. So, with that in mind, stop in to Job Lot before you make it to the beach and stroll down our food aisles to grab our tasty treats like candies, nuts, chips, and more. Make sure you grab plenty of water or some Polar Seltzer as well to stock your cooler to keep you hydrated all day long.

Fun and Games

While you’re at the beach, make sure to give yourself time to play. Build a creative sand castle, play an easy game of catch, or maybe round up some teammates for a game of volleyball or badminton. It’s always a good opportunity to get some healthy competition or a good rivalry going. Plus, who doesn’t want to be the king or queen of the beach? That could also be another fun contest as well.

Enjoy the time with family and friends, whether it’s just picking up seashells or taking a stroll along the shore in some wonderfully comfortable water shoes or sandals. The important thing is that you have that quality time together.
