Looking to put some fun back into your days at the beach? Well, Ocean State Job Lot is here to pump some air not only into your beach ball but also into the hot, hazy days of summer.

Get Started

For most of us, the thought of packing up the car, truck, or minivan gives us a headache before we even get started. With that in mind, let’s give you a little checklist to make things a bit easier. It all begins with a comfy beach chair, right? Well, our top-of-the-line beach chairs will make sure you’re not only comfortable but also get the best tan! But if you’d like to get a bit closer to the sand, we’ve got a variety of beach towels in all different colors and sizes. Shield yourself from the sun with one of our beach umbrellas that anchors in the sand. Or for added protection, pick up an instant pop-up beach tent that also keeps bugs away.

Protect Yourself

  • There’s nothing worse than coming home to the sting of a sunburn and having it put a damper on your fun times by the water. So, make sure you grab some sunscreen!
  • Ocean State Job Lot’s variety of sunglasses will spare your eyes from the sun’s sharp rays and also make you look stylish in front of all your fellow beachgoers.
  • Don’t forget your feet with our flexible flip flops, sandals, and water shoes.

Get Snacking

We all know that a day at the beach is not going to be a short one, if you’re doing it right, of course. So, pack a lunch with plenty of snacks! Feed your appetite with Haribo candies, Tootsie Dots, cashews, trail mix, nuts, Tate’s cookies, and more. Keep yourself and your friends or family hydrated all day long with your beverage of choice. Remember to include plenty of water or flavored water like a seltzer from Polar. Keep your drinks ice cold with our beach coolers that hold up to 60 cans.

Busy Bodies

So, what will you do when you’re not spending your time relaxing, swimming, and sun tanning? Young kids love shovels for building creative sand castles. Or, maybe it’s a fun game of tossing the football around, but make sure you find an open spot to play so you don’t interrupt your fellow beachgoers. Of course, there are always the old standbys: reading a good book or listening to your favorite playlist, podcast, or audiobook.

Enjoy your time, whether you’re alone or with family and friends. And allow yourself time for unexpected adventures like a nice walk, picking up the seashells, or maybe trying a new place to eat that’s along the way.
