Whether you live close and are doing a day trip or are heading out for a full on beach vacation, we have exactly what you need to be prepared for all the sun and sand in your future.

Available in a wide range of protection from 15-70spf, this sunblock is as good for you as it can be (while still being effective in the water). Broad spectrum, no parabens, oil free, hypoallergenic, won’t clog pores and best of all, no animal testing. Water resistant up to 80 minutes which is a pretty solid amount of time.

Ocean and Earth Water Wallet

We live in the age of cell phones and no matter how many times we learn the lesson of not bringing our phones to the water, we still do it. Now there’s a way to bring your phone and not blow it by getting it soaked. The Ocean and Earth Water Wallet has a tri fold with velcro and a zip lock system to keep your phone or cash or credit cards nice and dry. A little tip for you iPhone users – you can swipe through the plastic so no need to take it out of the wallet to check those messages!
