If you&#8217;re heading off to the seaside then you&#8217;re going to need a few essentials, and where better to find them than with one of these fab indie businesses who know a thing or two about sun, sand and style.

First up we have this super bright weekender tote from Isle of Wight outfit Wyatt &amp; Jack. Each piece is made from retired bouncy castles, inflatables and deckchairs so it&#8217;s got oodles of sustainability kudos along with being waterproof. If the bright mermaid print isn&#8217;t your thing (though I bet you&#8217;d spot it a mile off on the beach), it also comes in a range of colours and finishes for all tastes.

These espadrille wedges are the embodiment of the Spanish look and neutral enough to go with most outfits.

Developed in Oz, where sun protection is practically gospel, this product contains Zinc Clear, Pongamia, Pearl Extract and lots of other skin loveliness.

Oh god, it gets EVERYWHERE! And when you&#8217;ve been for a dip you can end up caked in the stuff. If you&#8217;re looking for a brand new beach towel then check out the fab range over at Dock &amp; Bay. This brand appeared on Dragons&#8217; Den with their super-cool, quick-dry towels and they&#8217;re also SANDPROOF! They&#8217;re so loved that you&#8217;ll find these towels in plenty of cottages and self-catering spots around Hampshire. And if you fancy something a little bit less fruity, they also have a range of colours, styles and sizes.
