Your guide to an eco-friendly beach day with the Conscious Coast Collection by Flourish Planet
There’s something magical about the coast: the warm sun, salty breeze, and the rhythmic lull of the waves. But what if your next beach escape could be as kind to the planet as it is relaxing for your soul?
Introducing: The Conscious Coast Collection
Where coastal beauty meets conscious craftsmanship. Flourish Planet’s latest curation is full of eco-friendly beach essentials including sustainable beach bags, handmade jewelry that gives back, handmade beach towels, and more. Whether you're heading to the sand for a day trip or packing for a sustainable summer vacation, these essentials are rooted in purpose, people, and planet.
How to Have an Eco-Friendly Beach Day
Let's make slow living and conscious travel more than just trends. Here is a quick conscious packing list to keep your beach day sustainable:
- Pack a Sustainable Beach Bag: Choose options made with organic cotton or repurposed textiles like the Kinnari Beach Bag by Riti or the quilted totes by Tavaru. These are handcrafted by women artisans using sustainable materials.
- Switch to Eco-Friendly Sunscreen: Always use reef safe sunscreen with natural ingredients to protect marine life and your skin.
- Bring a Sustainable Beach Towel: Swahili Coast’s Kenyan Kikoy Towels and Hilana Upcycled Cotton’s towels are lightweight, absorbent, and ethically made. A must-have for any beach trip packing list.
- Go Plastic-Free: Use reusable water bottles, wheat straw cutlery, and cloth or beeswax wraps for snacks to cut down on single-use plastics.
Create your own eco-friendly summer essentials kit with these small swaps that make a big impact.
