What do you pack for a trip to the shore? From a comfy chair to the right wine, our staffers share their beach-picnic essentials.
Zach DeSart1/6“My dream beach outing involves blue skies, gentle waves, and me crushing the competition with my ultrachic beach tennis set ($140).” —Carla Lalli Music, food & features editor
Zach DeSart2/6“I’m loving the slightly effervescent Ameztoi Txakolina Rosato Rubentis 2012 rosé ($24): It goes with everything from potato salad to cold fried chicken. Best of all, it’s got a screwcap.” —Andrew Knowlton, restaurant and drinks editor
Zach DeSart3/6“You can take a blanket to the beach, so why not a duvet ($119/queen size)? Steven Alan does such good stripes; this deserves to make it out of the house.” —Christine Muhlke, executive editor
Zach DeSart4/6“Most umbrellas stink. This titanium one ($90) is light and indestructible, and the built-in vents keep it from blowing away.” —Alex Grossman, creative director
Zach DeSart5/6“This stylish Tom Black folding deck chair ($245) reminds me of the original Barbie swimsuit.” —Danielle Walsh, associate web editor
Zach DeSart6/6“My Fitzgerald Bag ($155) holds everything: toys, extra towels, bathing suits—and the square bottom keeps it standing upright in the sand.” —Stacey Rivera, digital director
