7 Beach Day Must-Haves: Essentials You’ll Love from Emporium @ C

Sunshine, salty breezes, and sand between your toes... There's nothing quite like a perfect beach day on the Gulf Coast. Whether you're heading out for a quick dip or settling in for a full day of relaxation, having the right gear can make all the difference.

At Emporium @ C, we’ve got everything you need to soak up the sun in style and comfort.

Here’s your ultimate checklist of 7 Beach Day Must-Haves, all available right here at

Emporium @ C in Orange Beach and our brand new Perdido Key location!

1. Totes & Carry-All Bags

A day at the beach calls for a spacious, stylish, and sturdy tote to carry all your gear. Our collection of coastal-themed beach bags and canvas carryalls are both practical and fun — roomy enough for towels, sunscreen, snacks, and more, with prints and colors inspired by the sea.

2. Beach-Ready Body Care

Don’t hit the beach without a little self-care! Stock up on salt scrubs, lotion bars, and moisturizers made with natural ingredients, perfect for reviving sun-kissed skin. Many of our bath and body products are locally made and have fresh,

Coastal scents you’ll love.

3. Hats & Accessories

Keep the sun off your face and stay cool with our selection of wide-brimmed hats and fun coastal baseball caps. Whether you’re lounging in a chair or walking the shoreline, our hat selection can keep you protected and picture-perfect.

4. Coastal Jewelry

Looking for a little beach glam? Our handpicked jewelry pieces — featuring shells, pearls, ocean colors, and nautical touches — are ideal for dressing up your beach day outfit or taking that sun-kissed look straight to dinner.

5. Beach Towels & Throws

Dry off or lay out in comfort with our soft and colorful beach towels. Many styles feature fun patterns and coastal designs, plus Perdido Key and Orange Beach themes to show off your love for the beautiful Gulf Coast.

6. Perdido Key & Orange Beach Souvenirs

Represent your favorite beach town with themed drinkware, magnets, tumblers, ornaments, and home accents. They’re perfect to bring along for your day on the coast — and make great gifts or keepsakes to remember your trip.

7. Tumblers & Drinkware

Stay hydrated in style with our insulated tumblers and drink holders — ideal for cold drinks on hot days. With fun, beachy sayings and durable designs, they're perfect for the pool, the porch, or the sand.
