5 Must Haves When Going To The Beach
Change of Clothes
I know what you’re thinking—this is pretty obvious! But what’s not obvious is what you’ll change into. When going to the beach, make sure you carry these things with you.
- 2 bathing suits: You’ll be able to wear one while the other is drying.
- Workout clothes: The beaches in Mangalore offer lots of fun activities. Keep on a pair of comfortable workout clothes so you can actively participate in these.
- A hoodie or a sweater: Even if you’re visiting the beach during the summer, the nights can get chilly, so carry warm clothes to enjoy nighttime strolls by the shore.
- Light rain jacket: Even if it’s not monsoon a rain jacket will keep you warmer and act as the perfect windbreaker.
