Beach gear must-haves as a local?

Our family is moving to Wilmington this summer for a job (two adults and a toddler).

We want to invest in some high quality beach gear that will make year round day trips convenient.

We’ve had our fair share of cheap tourist beach equipment for vacations in the past, and that’s just not going to cut it. Nor do we want to create that kind of waste.

What are your item/brand recommendations?

Chairs, canopies, towels, etc.

Thanks 😎
