Hanging out with your girls at a cozy cafe in the neighborhood is fun, and so is a night out dancing. However, there’s something enchanting about leaving the city behind and spending a few days together on the sand, cocktails in hand. A beach trip with your besties can be a little escape from reality, full of laughter and memories you’ll remember forever.
The perfect beach weekend getaway with the girls takes a lot of planning to ensure every moment is as dreamy as can be. These five essentials can help make your beach trip with the girls more fun and unforgettable.
- A Cozy, Coastal Home Base
Where you stay for the trip contributes to how positive your travel experience will be. A comfortable, stylish home by the beach is convenient and sets the tone for a fun getaway. It becomes the hub for late-night chats and planning your next day of adventure.
Choose a beach destination first, then start the hunt for the perfect beachfront property. Go to a resort if you want to pamper yourselves. Browse rentals on the Outer Banks for something private you and the girls can have all to yourselves. Pick one that suits your friend group’s style.
- Matching Swimwear
Coordinating your swimwear is a playful way to make group shots look cohesive and fun. It also makes packing easier for everyone. Just decide on a specific look, and narrowing down bikini options will be a breeze.
Choose a color palette or pattern that suits your group’s vibe. Think jewel tones for a bold, confident group, or pastels and polka dots for a more feminine, flirty feel. The result is stunning vacation photos with effortless style.
- Portable Bluetooth Speakers
Music sets the mood for any beach trip. It’s fantastic for morning yoga by the shore or dancing with the girls at sunset. A portable speaker keeps the soundtrack in your hands. It makes every moment of the trip feel like a scene from a summer movie.
Create a playlist in advance with your girls’ favorite songs. Rotate between relaxing, beachy tunes and upbeat pop jams. Music creates a vibrant, girly energy for your trip, ensuring everyone laughs and has fun.
- Fun Group Activities Planned Out
Spontaneous planning can lead to too much downtime and indecision during your trip. Have a few activities lined up in advance. Plan water activities, like snorkeling and paddleboarding. Arrange beach games, such as volleyball or sandcastle-making contests. If you want something more chill, go on a cafe-hopping adventure in the nearest town. Prepare a few flexible options so you can decide what to do based on everyone’s mood.
- A Polaroid Camera
Taking photos on your phone is great for convenience, but it can’t replace the charm of instant prints that everyone can hold in their hands. A Polaroid camera turns snapshots into tangible souvenirs from the trip.
Take group selfies and solo shots in your cutest beachwear. Encourage everyone to take candid photos, too. Capture the funniest moments, like clumsy paddleboarding attempts. Take each other’s shots during golden hour. At the end of the trip, you’ll all have colorful photos that will remind you of this special trip for years to come.
