Summer is around the corner, and you want to be looking your best. This is a guide to the perfect summer 2026, which starts with your look, because this summer is all about standing out. What you’re wearing will set the vibe for your entire beach day. Think bikinis with tropical patterns and bright colors with details that will catch your eye. The newest trend is bikini charms, small accessories that hang off your bikini, from gold charms to seashells. They give your outfit a more personalized feel and make it feel on-trend.
Of course, no summer is complete without a sun-kissed glow. If you’re looking for that deeper tan this summer, the caroten intensive tanning gel, or their intense tanning oil spray, are go to favorites for this season. However, protecting your skin is just as important. Sunscreen brands like Vacation are gaining a lot of popularity currently for their good ingredients and UV protection, but also their fun and aesthetic packaging, like their whipped cream style sunscreen bottle that makes reapplying your sunscreen way more fun.
Another very important thing you’ll need for the beach is, of course, a towel and a beach chair.
Comfort is key at the beach. A good beach chair can make a huge difference in a long day at the beach, even if you don’t realize it. A good towel can also make a big difference. Currently popular towels are sand resistant, they are designed to repel sand rather than cling to it. Sand Cloud is a brand that sells these. They have become increasingly popular for their high quality and designs.
The perfect summer isn’t just about the beach; it’s everything in between. Start your mornings with a cafe stop for an iced coffee and breakfast, somewhere that you can sit outside. Around Marco Island, biking is a very popular mode of transportation and activity in the summer. Whether you are just going for a ride around exploring or going to the beach, it’s easier than driving, aesthetic, and a great way to look at all of the scenery.
As your summer day comes to an end, there’s nothing better than a sunset drive with the top down and music playing. Whether you’re heading to dinner, going to sunset, or just going for a drive, it’s such a fun carefree thing to do.
Once you have the fashion and the essentials, what are all of these without the perfect beach? The Marco Island and Naples Florida area are packed with beautiful scenic beaches, Tigertail beach park Marco Island is popular for its tidal lagoon, its a beautiful scenic walk out to the beach, its a great spot if your looking to get some steps in and if your looking for something more private with smaller crowds, Delnor Wiggins Pass State Park in Naples is a great spot for shelling, and swimming, and there is Keewaydin Island just off of Marco Island is an island accessible only by boat with a long beach, sandbars, and beautiful blue water, its the most popular spot with the younger crowd for a boat day, its an up beat social atmosphere that’s always a party.
