It’s summer again and the beach is calling! The lure of sand and sunshine is always strong for me, but it’s especially strong if you’re a book lover who likes to take your books to the beach. If beach + books mean joy to you too, then now could be a fantastic time to up your beach reading game.
With all the talented makers out there, there’s an abundance of beach-themed book items to satisfy even the pickiest bookworms. That might mean finding standard beach items (like towels and water bottles) that showcase your book preferences. Or, you might look for popular reading accessories (like bookmarks and book stands) that are designed specifically for the beach. Because as wonderful as the beach is, the presence of all that sun, sand, and water means it’s not exactly the most inviting environment for books.
But that’s no reason you can’t build yourself a cozy little reading nook on the beach. I like to think of it as a sandcastle for bookworms: a cozy little corner of a library-like paradise that you can build right next to the waves.
So go ahead and treat yourself or the special book lover in your life to all the happy feelings with some beach books so you can tackle your summer reading list in style!
This cute, cozy bookworm warmer ($8) will keep your soda cans nice and cool on a hot day at the beach.
Prefer an insulated container for your beverage? Then this I’m With the Banned mug ($35) is for you. It features a stylish graphic depicting (you guessed it) banned books.
This pop-up book stand ($16) offers the perfect setup for a cozy reading session in the sand. It’s made of plastic (and comes in a variety of colors) so it can withstand the elements.
Every reader needs a bookmark, and this personalized book club bookmark ($5) is laminated on both sides, meaning your page will stay put even if you’re reading in a splash zone! (One hopes the book you’re reading will hold up too…)
Tote bags are a beach day must-have, and this customizable book tote bag ($50) is a great one for book lovers. You can customize the colors of the bag and handles, but even better is the option to enter 16 specific books (title and author) to appear on the bag!
