The Ultimate Sarasota Beach Day Checklist

If you’re planning a beach day in Sarasota, there’s no better spot than Lido Beach. With soft sand, calm waters, and plenty of space to relax, it’s a local favorite. And the best part? It’s just steps away from St. Armands Circle—so you can stop by The Sarasota Style on your way and stock up on everything you need to make your beach day unforgettable.

Here’s your ultimate checklist for a perfect Sarasota beach day:

1. Towels You’ll Actually Want to Use

Big, soft, quick-dry towels are a must for laying out and drying off. Grab one that’s stylish enough to rep your Sarasota vibe on the sand.

2. Sun Protection with Sun Bum

Florida sunshine is no joke. Always pack Sun Bum sunscreen its reef-safe, smells like summer, and keeps your skin protected all day long.

3. Sunglasses for Style 

Polarized shades aren’t just for the look, they keep your eyes safe from the Gulf’s bright glare. A Sarasota essential.

4. Koozies & Insulated Drinkware

Whether you’re sipping water, soda, or something a little stronger, keep it ice-cold with The Sarasota Style koozies and insulated tumblers. Pro tip: they also make your beach photos look better.

5. Water Bottles to Stay Hydrated

The Florida sun will wear you down fast if you’re not drinking water. Bring a refillable water bottle to stay cool and refreshed.

6. SPF Shirts & Fishing Shirts

For long days on the sand or boat, lightweight SPF shirts and fishing shirts are a lifesaver. They’re breathable, stylish, and protect you from overexposure. You can find Sarasota-inspired designs at The Sarasota Style before you hit the beach.

7. Hats for Shade & Style 

From wide brim straw hats to classic ball caps, covering up is key. A Sarasota Style hat keeps you shaded and beach-ready while repping your favorite city.
