Beach Bag Essentials (Sunscreen and Sand-Proof Musts)
I learned the beach bag game the hard way — a full day at Ammos without sunscreen and a water flask was all it took to get organized. Since then, I keep a ready-to-go beach bag all summer long. Whether you’re heading to Pori, Fanos or a quick swim at Ammos, these are the things that always come with me.
1) Face Sunscreen SPF50 (non-greasy)
Your number one non-negotiable. High protection, light texture and no shine — especially for long hours at Pori.
- SPF50, water resistant
- Matte finish, perfect under a hat or sunglasses
2) Beach Bag (lightweight and sand-proof)
It should clean with one shake and fit your towel, sunscreen, book and powerbank. At Fanos, you’ll thank yourself.
- Sand-proof fabric
- Inner pockets for phone and keys
3) Microfibre towel (quick-dry)
Perfect for back-to-back swims — dries 3x faster than cotton and shakes off sand instantly.
- Ultra-lightweight, space-saving
- Dries fast, never heavy on the way back
4) Thermal Bottle (cold water all day)
Meltemi or heatwave, cold water keeps the energy up — especially on the walk to Pori.
- Stainless steel, leak-proof
- Perfect for water, coffee or iced tea
5) Powerbank 20000 mAh
For videos, maps and music until sunset — no battery anxiety even after a full day by the sea.
- Fast charging, slim design
- Ideal for long beach days
6) Body Sunscreen Set (for the whole crew)
A travel-size sunscreen set saves time — easy reapplication every few hours, especially after swimming or sand play.
- Compact pouch, fits any beach bag
- Perfect for Pori or Fanos beach days
Sand-proof tips that make a difference
- Use zip pouches for phone and keys inside your bag
- Apply sunscreen at your room, only reapply on the beach
- Bring a wet bag for your towel or swimsuit to keep things clean
