Prime Day is here, and we’re updating this story hourly. To find the best deals in every category, follow all of our Prime Day coverage.
We’re halfway through Amazon’s four-day-long Prime Day sale event, so it’s time to get strategic about your purchases. I like to shop practically and think about items that I’ve been meaning to purchase for upcoming summer adventures. Now is a great time to buy discounted outdoor and beach gear, for example, from sunscreen and swimsuits to electrolyte powders and inflatable kayaks. On my travels through Amazon today, I’ve also spotted air conditioners and fans on sale as well as pool toys, coolers, grilling gear, and trendy Bogg beach bags. Kit yourself out for the next three months with the items below.
A hybrid beach-tent-umbrella that’ll give you a clear view of the water, a highly effective invisible mosquito shield, and a non-hideous rash guard from Lands’ End for under $25.
