A Day at the Beach
News
It’s a scorch’ah out there! What better way to cool off than with a day at the beach?! From Prudential Center, you can access the beaches of South Boston via the MBTA 9 Bus (this route starts in front of the Boston Public Library and ends in the Back Bay right here at the Center, with stops in front of Star Market and DICK’s House of Sport). Or, jump on the T at the Prudential stop (across from Cheesecake Factory) and take it to North Station to catch a Commuter Rail train to your favorite North Shore beach.
Before a day in the sun, visit the Center’s various retail shops and eateries for everything you need – from a new swim suit to essentials that set you up for a full-day away from home. Below are just a few of our suggestions to help get you beach-day ready!
SUNSCREEN
The first item on our to-do list is protection for our skin! Even on the cloudiest day, the sun’s UV can cause a burn.
CVS Pharmacy is our tried-and-true for classic options like Coppertone, Hawaiian Tropic and Banana Boat, as well as an array from skincare brands like CeraVe, Neutrogena and La-Roche Posay. For early beach-day goers, CVS opens at 8AM!
For specialty brands, Sephora offers nearly 200 sun protection options from leading labels like Supergroop!, Shisheido, and Dermalogica. First Aid Beauty, Kosas and Fenty Beauty by Rihanna are just a few of the clean beauty sun protection products found at Sephora.
SWIM SUITS
Now that we’ve secured sunscreen, time to shop for a new swim suit!
Marine Layer makes responsibly made, vintage-inspired apparel for men and women. For guys, the California-based brand offers four different options of shorts and swim in a variety of beach-inspired colors and bold patterns. Get inspired to make a bevvy with the Parker Tailored Trunk that features a cocktail recipe pattern, or manifest a picture-perfect sunset with the Lined Sport & Swim Short in Withered Rose. Marine Layer’s women’s swim selection features 90s-inspired bikinis and one-pieces in partnership with Andie. To get you from the beach to lunch or dinner, seersucker sets with pant and short options are available in both solid colors and stripes – pair as direct sets or mix and match patterns and colors!
Known for whimsical patterns, vineyard vines has the whole family covered for new swim gear. Dad can join in the fun with trunks that feature everything from sail boats to the classic vineyard vines whale. For mom, she’ll be styling from sand-to-car with bikinis and one-pieces that are perfectly complimented by an array of shirt coverups and sun dresses. Over in the kids section, vineyard vines will ensure that even the littlest one has swim attire that they love.
For additional kid swim options, Janie & Jack ups the fun with a selection for girls, boys, and baby. Little ones can live out their mermaid fantasy with a Mermaid Tail cover-up. Parents will have more peace of mind knowing Rash Guards offer a bit more protection from the sun. Baby sizing begins at 0-3 months for those lucky to have been born just in time for summer!
ACCESSORIES
Since 1937, Ray-Ban has been a global leader in the eyewear category. From the classic wayfarers and iconic aviators and all styles in-between, Ray-Ban’s collection of sunglasses come in sizes to fit all face shapes and preferences for women, men and kids. The A$AP Rocky Collection redefines Ray-Ban’s iconic shapes with a fresh, fierce attitude. The Wayfarer Puffer adds A$AP’s bold, disruptive, and unmistakable signature style to one of Ray-Ban’s signature offerings.
DICK’s House of Sport is not just for sports equipment. Shop the store for beach gear as well! From coolers and drinkware to beach chairs and towels , DICK’s House of Sport is the one-stop shop for items to take a normal beach day to an all-day affair. DICK’s even has wagons to help you lug all your new beach necessities!
SNACKS
What’s a day at the beach without some snacks?! Shop around Eataly’s marketplace for cured meats, cheeses and Italian sodas to complement the to-go pizzas and sandwiches from Eataly’s specialty counters.
In addition to traditional groceries and snacks, Star Market offers a plethora of natural, organic, specialty, healthy, and ethnic treats to help sustain a full day at the beach. If you’re 21+ (and if the beach allows), grab a pack of ready-to-drink beverages from Star Market’s in-house liquor department for a relaxing day (and responsible) fun under the sun.
