Hit the Beach!
The hottest days of summer are upon us, and it’s time for some fun in the sun. To get things started, corral all your beach essentials in a roomy open-top Nantucket bag by Dragon Diffusion, handwoven in a soft buffalo calf leather with braided handles and available in Orange (shown) and Marine Brush Blue. Bonus: It looks just as good on your favorite stretch of sand as it does at après-beach cocktails. $470, at Clic.
Soak It All In
After a dip in the ocean or pool, dry off with Sferra’s Tropea towel, a yarn-dyed jacquard terry that packs a graphic punch. Available in Passionfruit (shown) or Topaz. $76 (40″ x 70″).
Made for the Shade
Keep your cool with Serena & Lily’s classic beach umbrella, trimmed in a festive fringe and available in five summery stripes, including Lobster Red (shown). It packs neatly into a matching carry bag and can be tilted to your desired position under the sun. $398.
Nap Time
There’s nothing better than a beach snooze. Tensira’s quilted Kapok mattress bedroll is handwoven in naturally hypoallergenic fibers and comes in a variety of stripes and checks, including the pistachio and navy combo shown here. $305, at Via Coquina.
Pack and Play
The portable Glow Harmony LED lantern doubles as a Bluetooth speaker, providing hours of music and ambient light as the party heads into the night. It can be recharged in any USB port and features eight color modes. $140, at Sylvester & Co. Modern General.
Movable Feast
Keep your food and drinks cold from sunup to sundown in Business & Pleasure Co.’s Riviera Pink cooler bag, made from UV-coated beach-umbrella canvas and easy to tote, thanks to its sturdy shoulder strap and leather handles. $79, at Hildreth’s Home Goods.
A Plate in the Sun
Featuring the classic combo of bamboo and caning around its perimeter, Juliska’s lightweight, shatterproof melamine dinner plate is so pretty it can be used both indoors and out. $32 each, at East Hampton Gardens.
Drink Responsibly
Glass is a no-no at the beach or pool, but BPA-free, dishwasher-safe, shatterproof acrylic Mesa stemware is a win-win. Pour on the rosé! $14 per goblet, at Laurel Group Outdoor Living Design Center.
