TIPS AND TRICKS  |  30 JAN 2025

undefined

Ah, the excitement of a beach vacation! Sunny skies, warm sand between your toes, and that blissful feeling of pure relaxation. But let’s face it—getting ready for a beach day is no walk in the park. It’s a mini-mission that calls for organisation and style. That’s where we at Rosebank Mall come in, ready to equip you with everything you need for the ultimate beach getaway.

From beach vacation shopping tips to finding must-have items for a beach vacation, we’ve got you covered. Whether it’s waterproof essentials or stylish summer clothing from some of the best luggage stores in Johannesburg, here’s your ultimate guide to a no-hassle beach day:

Step 1: Sun Safety is Non-Negotiable

Let’s be real, the sun is both friend and foe on a beach day. Sure, a golden tan is nice, but lobster-red skin is…not. Head over to Clicks for sunscreen that’ll keep you safe from sunrise to sunset, and while you’re there, grab a lip balm with SPF. Feeling fancy? Head to Mr Price Home for a chic, wide-brimmed hat. It’s the perfect blend of shade and style, ensuring you stay cool while turning heads.

Step 2: Bag It Right

A beach bag isn’t just a bag; it’s a lifesaver. Opt for sand-resistant options from Pep Home to keep your essentials organised and sand-free. With multiple pockets, these bags are perfect for stashing sunscreen, snacks, and gadgets—so you’ll spend less time digging through the chaos and more time soaking up the sun.

Step 3: Waterproof Your Tech

We get it—your phone is practically part of the family. Keep it safe with a waterproof case from The Crazy Store. Perfect for snapping Insta-worthy shots without worrying about splashes, sand, or the odd rogue wave, this handy gadget is a must-have item for your beach vacation.

Step 4: Flip Flops for the Win

Flip flops are the unsung heroes of beachwear. Swing by Checkers for a pair that’s comfy, durable, and lightweight.

Pro tip: Pack an extra pair. After a sandy day, slipping into a fresh pair feels like a luxury.

Step 5: Snacks & Sips

Sunshine and saltwater work up an appetite, and that’s where snacks come in. Checkers is your go-to for everything from fruit to beach-friendly chips (because no one wants a melted chocolate mess). And for drinks? A reusable water bottle from Dischem answers all your hydration needs. Keep it chilled, keep it filled, and you’ll be ready to conquer those sunny hours by the sea.

Step 6: Lay Your Groundwork

This isn’t your basic, “grab a towel” situation. The right beach blanket turns your spot in the sand into a mini paradise. Mr Price Home has soft, spacious options perfect for stretching out and catching a breeze. And yes, bring that classic beach towel too, for quick drying after a dip. With these, you’re not just on the sand—you’re set up like a pro.

Step 7: Don’t Forget the Fun

Finally, let’s not forget the fun. What’s a beach day without a bit of play? Pop into The Crazy Store for beach balls, frisbees, and bucket-and-spade sets. Whether you’re building epic sandcastles or tossing a frisbee with friends, these fun extras are guaranteed to create memorable moments.

Ready for a Stress-Free Beach Day?

With these beach vacation shopping tips, you’re ready to pack smart and hit the sand with confidence. 

Rosebank Mall is here to help you every step of the way. Happy beaching!
