BUT… sunscreen on a warm summer day is definitely a St. Simons Island Beach Day Essentials. If you forgot yours don’t worry many of the shops in St. Simons Pier Village will have just what you need.
3. Hat or Umbrella
   • Any beach goer knows you have to pace yourself through out your vacation, you don’t want to get so sun burnt on the first day that you cant enjoy the rest of your trip. That’s why a hat to protect your face and shoulders or an umbrella to retreat under when the sun gets too hot is essential. Barry’s Beach Service can also provide the umbrellas for you so don’t worry about bringing your own!
