Before you pack, there are few things to keep in mind. Keep beach bag packing to a minimum. While you may be tempted to bring all of your favorite things, in reality you probably won't need them. Plus, you won't want to have to carry them around with you all day. A lightly packed beach bag with a few must-have items is really all that you need. If you are staying in a hotel near the beach, then that's even better. You can always just run back to your hotel for a rest break or to freshen up your hair and makeup.

While you're at the beach, it's time to focus on fun in the sun and enjoying the sand and water. Have fun with friends or relax and enjoy the breeze. Bring your tablet or iPod with your favorite books or music to help you enjoy a fabulous day in the sun.

To help prepare you for your upcoming spring break, here is a list of seven must-have items you will definitely need for your beach bag.
