My Must-Have Beach Gear Picks for Next Summer

Even though summer is over, I’m already planning for next year’s beach trips, and I’ve been keeping an eye on the latest trends. I want to be fully prepared with the best Boatshed7 gear, so here’s what I’ve added to my must-have list.

1. Sustainable Beach Gear: Eco-Friendly and Stylish

I’m making a conscious effort to be more eco-friendly, so I’m excited to see more sustainably made beach accessories available. I’ve already swapped some of my gear for recycled and biodegradable materials, and I love how stylish they are!

2. Luxe Beach Tents & Oversized Umbrellas

Last summer, I noticed so many people with gorgeous, oversized beach umbrellas and stylish beach tents. This year, I’m investing in one of Boatshed7’s premium beach umbrellas so I can relax in the shade in style.

3. Vibrant Colours & Statement Patterns

I’m ditching my plain neutrals and going for bold prints and vibrant colors next summer. I’ve got my eye on some patterned beach towels and chairs that will make my beach setup stand out.

4. Multi-Use Beach Accessories for a Seamless Lifestyle

I love gear that’s versatile, so I’m looking at multi-functional beach chairs and blankets that I can use at the park, on hikes, or even at home. It’s all about getting the most use out of everything!

5. Tech-Enhanced Beach Gadgets for the Ultimate Experience

I’ve been eyeing some cool new gadgets for my beach days—like solar-powered coolers and waterproof Bluetooth speakers. Pairing them with my insulated cooler bag is going to take my beach experience to the next level.

6. Retro & Sporty Beachwear Trends

I’ve been loving the 90s revival in fashion, and I’m planning to update my beach wardrobe with some retro-inspired swimwear and sporty cover-ups. They’re stylish but still super practical for long days by the water.

I’m so excited for next summer already, and I’m making sure I have the best gear ready to go. If you want to get ahead, check out Boatshed7’s latest arrivals here!
