1. Undoubtedly, we’ve all seen the guy or girl who went to the beach and insisted that sunscreen wasn’t needed – and seen the painful consequences. First, and borderline most importantly, bring a healthy dose of sunscreen to the beach with you. The beach isn’t the river, or a tanning bed. In Destin and along the Florida Panhandle, we have some of the rarest sand in the world, a beautiful white sand that happens to reflect almost all of the suns rays, acting like a big mirror – and tanning yours truly all the more quicker. On another health note, invest in a set of dark sunglasses. As stated before, having the most beautiful beach in the world comes at a price, bring your sunglasses – and a hat if you have one.
