One of the most popular and cost-friendly shore excursions on a cruise vacation is a trip to the beach. Many of the worlds best beaches can be found in the Caribbean and so it’s no surprise that many people want to spend their day just relaxing on a sun-drenched beach sipping cocktails and enjoying the sound of waves lapping at the shore. However, you can’t carry too much with you so what are some of the best items you can take to ensure your Beach Day is the best ever?

Action Camera
The perfect way to capture and keep those underwater memories. There are some excellent dive and snorkel sites in the Caribbean and you will want to remember all those amazingly coloured fish you saw. There is a range of different cameras to suit different budgets but we are big fans of DJI and their OSMO Action is a winner. Some would argue that Go Pro products are better but the price difference between the 2 is quite significant.
- Whether you want to record your world from behind a lens or be the star of the show, Osmo Action’s dual screens allow you to capture it all with the touch of a button
- RockSteady combines EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization System) with complex algorithms, delivering stable, shake-free footage no matter how heavy the action gets
- Sporting a watertight seal and a hydrophobic coating on the back touchscreen, Osmo Action is waterproof at depths of up to 11 meters, making it the perfect underwater companion
- Such as Slow Motion, Custom Exposure Setting, Timelapse, Timed Shooting Mode, Custom Mode, QS Button, SnapShot, Voice Control
Beach Cover Up
Swimsuit cover-ups are not just practical, but in some cases they are essential. You can leave the ship already wearing your swimming custom by just throwing on a cover-up. If you want to leave the beach and head to the local shops for example then some Caribbean destinations frown upon tourists browsing for goods in just their bikinis or swimwear. A cover-up is a quick, easy and trendy way to look beach chic.
- 100% Chiffon, breathable loose and comfortable cover up bathing suits, easy to put on or take off.
- Chiffon Cover up perfectly fit for Womens Bikini, Swimwear, Swimsuits, Beachwear, Bathing Suits, Monokini, Tankini,ect.
- Stylish and Bright Beachwear Swimsuit Cover Up Dress which is perfect for sunscreen,beach, resorts, pool and cruising,vacation, honeymoon holidays.
Insulated Water Bottles
Insulated drink bottles are an excellent way of keeping beverages nice and cold during your day at the beach. You can fill up before you leave your cabin and a good bottle should keep things nice and chilled for hours. They are also handy for pouring any cold (or hot) beverage you buy at the beach too. We personally are big fans of Tervis that provide some stylish but excellent double-walled tumblers like the one below. Mine is in a funky whale design.
- Printed with eco-friendly plant-based inks or powder coated with BPA-free material directly on the stainless surface. Tumblers include BPA-free, leak resistant, easy-to-clean and easy-close lid.

Water Shoes
One way to spoil your day at the beach is to cut open your foot whilst wading in the shallows on an unseen jagged rock…or worse, a spiny sea urchin. Water shoes are an excellent way to avoid that. They are robust, lightweight and come in a variety of styles and colours.
