33 Perfect Beach Snacks to Have on Hand While You Lay Out
There are a million things to love about the beach: the warm sand between our toes, relaxing under the sun’s rays, taking a dip in the cool ocean… the list goes on and on. But one thing we don’t love? Getting stranded on the shore when we’re starving. There’s nothing worse than having to walk 1.3 million miles across scorching hot sand to get a snack when you’re hungry. That means you’re not only gonna need a cute bathing suit, some corkscrew-free wine, and a wide-brimmed hat for your trip, but some beach-friendly snacks are also in order.
We’ve rounded up 33 yummy snacks that are easy to put together and totally portable. On top of that, they’re light, healthy (enough), and—most importantly—will prevent you from having to get up from the ideal spot you staked out. #Priorities.
