Planning a Beach Day in Sarasota? Start at Lido Beach!

If you're dreaming of the perfect Sarasota beach day, Lido Beach is always the move. Soft white sand, calm turquoise water, and room to spread out, it’s everything people love about the Gulf Coast. And the best part? You’re only a short stroll from St. Armands Circle, which means you can swing by The Sarasota Style before you hit the sand and pick up everything you need for a day that feels effortless.

Here’s your ultimate Sarasota beach day checklist, made to keep you comfortable, protected, and stylish from sunrise to sunset.

1. Towels You’ll Actually Love Using

A great beach day starts with a great towel. Think big, soft, quick-dry, and just stylish enough to say, “Yes, I’m living my best Sarasota life today.”

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.
