A fun day at the beach begins with a good preparation at home in getting necessary items that will keep you comfortable and relaxed. Look at the following list for guide on what you need in order to look fashionable and stylish while having a great time catching some waves.

Sun Dresses for Ladies: Get your favorite knit or tube dress with smocked bodice from Target. Tank dresses in many colorful styles and patterns are also great on a beautiful summer day. Floral prints, tiered, and maxis are always in style. Dresses are great at the beach because you just flip them off and voila, your bathing suit is already on. They give you freedom to feel your body as you move about. No stress taking out shorts or pants.

Shorts and T-Shirts for Men: For a fun day at the beach, gear up in a nice cargo shorts or long shorts. Dark colors, prints and plaids are in style for the summer. Pair it up with a nice t-shirt with prints from your favorite designer. Any color will do as long as it fits well with your shorts. Muscle shirts are also great over a nice pair of cargo shorts.

Bathing Suit / Swim Trunk: Ladies, you want to show off your beach body in a swimwear that will complement your figure. You don't want to fit into a two piece if your body type isn't having it. Target has a lot of one piece and two piece swim wears in halters, bandeau, tankini, triangle and more. They carry brands such as Mossimo, Isaac Mizrahi, and Xhilaration. You can also get swim skirt if you badly want to have a two piece. Target has various colors and styles, so choose the style and color that you feel comfortable in. Popular colors are pink, multicolor, paisley, prints, pebbles, green, and black. You also look great in various mix and match colors, like pink over blue and vice versa.

OversizeTotes: Ladies, you need to be able to have your water bottle, sunscreen lotion, hair brush, makeup and other body and beach essentials without worrying that anything will spill or not fit in a bag. An oversized beach tote can be gotten to alleviate the stress of carrying so many different bags for each kind of item. You can fit your towel, wallet and anything else you wish to take with you into a beach tote bag. Those with clear view are best so that you don't have to spend precious time searching for items in the bag. Affordable totes in various colors and fabrics are available at stores online and at Target stores. Totes cost about $9.99 and up, with oversized one running from $16.99 and above.

Sun Shades/Glasses: I have seen people wear sun glasses even into a lightly lit church. In the summer, and at the beach, no one needs to be reminded that a pair of stylish sun glasses will be beneficial to your eyes. Get a great pair from target or any store of your choosing. I don't recommend any particular style since it depends on individuals' facial features. Try it one at the store and get an opinion of a trusted friend before you buy. Wide lenses are always in style so don't be afraid to try them out.

Thong Sandals/Flip Flops: Flip-Flops and Thong Sandals are great for the beach because they go on and off easily. Regular sandals are good too, but sometimes you don't want to be bothered by buckles and straps. Thongs give great support and a little elevation than some flip-flops. But Flip-Flops tend to come in many fun styles and colors.

Beach Umbrella: Don't wait till you get to the beach to purchase your beach umbrella. They tend to be more expensive on the spot and you might not get a big one that would really cover your bases. Beachstore.com has a wide variety of umbrellas, Canopies and cabanas that can be ordered online. The canopies and cabanas are a bit pricey, but if you want to invest in long term beach equipments, then this is it. Walmart has some beautiful and stylish umbrellas in many colors and patterns.

Don't forget; while having fun in the sun; remember to apply Sunblock at intervals. Protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays.
