Thoughts of going to the beach each summer conjure up images of beach towels, beach bags, bathing suits and suntans. This summer, you can make going to the beach a relaxing getaway with your family and friends while still honoring Mother Earth and the sun.
Eco Friendly Beach Towels
When choosing a beautiful beach towel to accessorize your summer fun in the sun, the same principles of eco fashion apply. Conventional cotton is laden with pesticides that are harmful to our environment and can be toxic to your skin. Old towels that have been washed dozens of times have been rinsed of that new towel chemical smell and are better to use than brand-new towels. Whether you are choosing cotton, or synthetics materials., think twice about what is going to be under your buns this summer. There are some amazing soft and eco friendly options to throw into your summer bag.

Eco Friendly Beach Bag
The perfect beach bag for summer fun should be waterproof, big enough to throw in a few organic beach towels and some lotion to protect you from the heat of the midday sun. Today, choosing a bag can be a great way to accessorize as well as reflect your eco fashion sense. Here is a favorite that will carry you through summer soaking as well as fall and winter getaways in style. Look for bags made organic or recyled materials. Many brands have given new life to an array of materials. Here is one example that will impress your friends as you sail away to the beach.

Green Beach Toys
Each summer the big box stores fill their shelves with throw away quality beach toys. From beach balls, to sand toys, the shelves are filled with flimsy plastic toys that are not worth your hard earned dollars and should not be next to your sweet childs skin for one second. Luckily, there are some amazing new choices in beach toys that will cost a bit more, but will last many happy summers and help to make many happy childhood memories.
