Sun, SPF, and a seriously good edit. We asked Assel, Maggie, Agnese, and Chloe from Team NecessaryGood to share the beach essentials they actually swear by. From all-day sun protection to flip-flops that go from sand to dinner, these are the no-fuss favourites that make the cut every time.
Assel's Beach Bag Essentials

Assel, Founder of Necessary Good, keeps her beach bag effortless and elevated:
“I always carry a chic, structured tote that fits everything from my laptop to makeup - it's my go-to from plane to beach. A flattering, one-size swimsuit, neutral flip flops that work with every outfit, a cooling face mist, tinted lip SPF, and a lightweight facial sunscreen I reapply constantly. Easy, reliable, and no overthinking needed.”

Maggie's Beach Bag Essentials

Maggie, our Social Media Manager, is the queen of beach day prep:
“My beach bag isn’t minimalist - it’s prepared. A lay-flat chair for naps, a cooler for all-day cold drinks, and a tote that can take a beating. My Hunza G swimsuit is a must - flattering, one-size, and always cute. I never hit the sand without my portable speaker, charger, and yes, a very bougie pair of sunglasses. Bonus points if there’s a beach game involved -I’m always packing the fun.”
Agnese's Beach Bag Essentials

“My approach to the beach is unfussy but considered- I want to feel chic without trying too hard. A raffia bucket hat and tortoiseshell sunglasses are my go to that will mach every bikini or coverup in my wardrobe. I swear by Modibodi’s leak-proof bikini, it's life-changing. It looks and feels like regular swimwear, but with discreet built-in protection that keeps you dry and worry-free, even on period days.”
