After feeling how Baltic the ocean off the North Coast of Ireland was last year when I visited in the summer, I haven't really dipped my toes in since. I still love going to the beach and getting barefoot but I didn't put on a swimsuit all summer and my visits were more about a walk along the shore or breezy picnic in the dunes enjoying the view. So when Boohoo asked me to share what I carried in my beach bag, I thought my response would be a bit atypical. There's no need for beach towels, massive bottles of sunscreen, or even flip-flops. For me, I don't like to head out without: a good book, a colorful pair of sunglasses, a notebook to scribble in, and on a beach day--a bag of sweets!
