Sunglasses that fit your face.
Even men who don't typically wear sunglasses every day wear them to the beach. It's basically the law (or something).
You also need them to protect your eyes from UV radiation.
Get ones that fit your face correctly, and you'll be beach-ready in no time.

A beach towel that isn't hideous.
OK, so you don't need something super fancy. But a nice, big beach towel is absolutely essential to lay out in the sun.
And no, a top sheet or a bath towel isn't going to work in a pinch.

Swim shorts that are the right length.
There are a lot of terrible swimsuits out there on men. Don't wear one of those.
You need three things in a great swimsuit:
- A 6-inch or shorter inseam.
- An elastic waistband.
- A classic pattern or plain color.
Beyond those, it's up to you to find a fit and color you like.
One word of caution: avoid the "board shorts" trend.
