Waterproof dry bags
A simple dry bag keeps essentials away from splashes, leaky drinks, damp swimwear, and the traditional British surprise shower.

Metal detectors
Entry-level metal detectors for beach walks, coin hunting, and pretending you are one beep away from retiring. Check local rules and avoid disturbing protected areas.
Shop metal detectors
Beach shoes
Water shoes and beach shoes for paddling, rocky bits, hot sand, and avoiding the classic holiday hobble back to the hotel.
Shop beach shoes
Lilos
Classic lilos and inflatable loungers for pool days and calm beach conditions. Use sensibly in the sea and do not let the Channel choose your itinerary.

Quick packing tip
If you are staying near the beach, prioritise quick-dry towels, beach shoes, a small dry bag, and something to keep dogs or children busy. Fancy hotel room plus wet towel mountain is not the luxury experience anyone booked.
