Features

Wear swimwear that is fashionable as well as comfortable. If you plan to do more water sports than sunbathing, consider choosing an athletic bathing suit. Cover-ups, t-shirts and shorts are all appropriate to wear over swimwear. Choose synthetic clothing over cotton as it dries quicker and will not absorb moisture, according to HipStyleandValue.com.
Considerations
-
Beach sand is very hot, especially in the summer months. Rubber flip-flops or sandals will protect your feet from the heat and won't suffer water damage if they get wet. To avoid cuts and injuries, consider bringing a pair of water shoes if you're visiting a beach that has lots of shells or a rocky shore.

Safety
-
Protect skin from sunburn and damage by liberally applying sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 15, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Protection. Remember to reapply sunscreen on a regular basis and after exiting the water. Sunglasses and hats with wide brims will protect your eyes from the sun's rays and reflections from the sand and water.
