How to Build a GORGIE Beach Day Kit: Cooler, Towel, and Swimsuit Essentials

A perfect beach day isn't just about sun and sand—it's about being prepared. Whether you're heading to the coast for a weekend getaway or a quick afternoon escape, having a well-stocked beach day kit can make all the difference. From keeping your drinks ice-cold to having the right swimsuit and towel, every detail counts.

At GORGIE, we've curated a collection of essentials that blend style and function. In this guide, we'll walk you through building your own GORGIE beach day kit, covering everything from cooler must-haves to the best swimwear and accessories for a day under the sun.

Start with the Right Cooler and Drinks

The heart of any beach day kit is a reliable cooler. While GORGIE doesn't sell coolers, we do offer the perfect beverages to fill yours. Our Energy Drink - Sparkling Tropical Punch and Energy Drink - Sparkling Mango Burst are crafted to keep you refreshed and energized, making them ideal for a long day in the sun. Pack them with plenty of ice, and you'll have a cool, tasty pick-me-up whenever you need it.

When packing your cooler, think about variety. Mixing flavors ensures everyone finds something they love. For a lighter option, consider our GORGIE Energy Drink Mix Cherry Lime—just add water and ice for a quick, customizable drink. These mixes are perfect for saving space in your cooler, as you can mix them on the spot.

• Freeze water bottles to use as ice packs—they'll keep drinks cold and provide extra water as they melt.
• Pack drinks in a separate section of the cooler to keep them from getting waterlogged.
• Bring a reusable cup to minimize waste and keep your drink cold longer.

Choosing the Perfect Swimsuit

Your swimsuit is the centerpiece of your beach outfit. For a flattering and comfortable fit, consider the Bikini Bottom GORGIE Print. This stylish bottom pairs well with a variety of tops and is designed to stay in place whether you're swimming or playing beach volleyball. If you prefer a more modest look, you can't go wrong with a classic one-piece, but GORGIE's two-piece options offer versatility and on-trend prints.

When selecting a swimsuit, consider the activities you'll be doing. If you plan on being active, choose a suit with good support and secure straps. For lounging, prioritize comfort and style. Remember to bring a cover-up like the I <3 LA Hoodie for when you need a break from the sun or want to grab a bite at a beachside café.

• Try on swimsuits before buying to ensure the right fit—sizes can vary between brands.
• Look for quick-drying fabrics to avoid discomfort after swimming.
• Pack a spare swimsuit if you plan on staying all day.

Towel and Accessories: Comfort and Style

A good beach towel is essential for drying off and lounging. While GORGIE doesn't currently offer towels, you can pair our accessories with any towel you already own. For a stylish and practical addition, consider the Signature Script Tee as a lightweight cover-up or a way to add a personal touch to your beach setup. It's soft, breathable, and perfect for throwing over your swimsuit.

Don't forget the little extras that make a big difference: sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and a waterproof phone pouch. The I <3 LA Tee is another great option for a casual, comfortable layer. And if you're planning to stay active, the ACTIVE SHORT - GREEN offers both style and mobility, making it ideal for beach games or a jog along the shore.

• Choose a towel with a quick-dry fabric to avoid carrying a wet, heavy towel home.
• Pack a small bag for wet items to keep your other belongings dry.
• Apply sunscreen 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours.

Building your GORGIE beach day kit is all about combining the right beverages, swimwear, and accessories to create a day of relaxation and fun. Start with our refreshing energy drinks, pick a flattering swimsuit, and add a few stylish extras to make the day truly memorable.
