The first is that High School Musical 2 will be queued on the television, and the second is that I'll end up on a sandy shore. That said, a beach trip packing list is essential—even if you're just headed out for the day. Trust me. On a recent Coney Island excursion, I found myself, by day's end, monitoring two friends for heat intolerance and making a plan to organize everyone's emergency contacts and insurance cards. Whether you're just headed out for the day, or are spending a few weeks seaside, here's a comprehensive list of essentials, spanning clothing and accessories, toiletries, sun burn treatments and beach gear you didn't know you needed. PureWow editors, including a native Floridian, have weighed in on the things they always take with them. My best tips? SPF 50+, a good umbrella and more water than you think is practical. 10 Underrated Beaches Near NYC (as in, Within 2 Hours of the City) Paula Boudes/PureWow Swimsuits Swim trunks Swim diapers Rash guards Shirts Shorts Skirts Sundresses Light sweater Sneakers Waterproof shoes Swimsuit coverup Sunglasses Hat Toothbrush Toothpaste Facial cleanser Moisturizer Shampoo Conditioner Body wash/soap Nail clippers Deodorant Sunscreen SPF lip balm After sun care (aloe vera, hydrocortisone, calamine lotion) Allergy medication Pain reliever Towels Umbrella or tent Beach tote Rolling bag Wet bag First aid kit Goggles/snorkeling gear Inflatable kayak (for lake beach) Beach lounger/chairs Pails and shovels Boogie boards Paddle/surf boards Instant camera Cooler Water Frozen fruit Cut fruit and veggies Cold main dish Dry and portable snacks Canned drinks Napkins Wet wipes It might seem obvious, but after anxiously supervising two friends for mild heat stroke on a recent beach trip, I can confirm you can never have too much water. To be safe, start with at least a gallon per person, and be prepared to buy more beverages on site. (And keep everyone chugging!) 'I roll towels and stick them in [a] tote vertically to save space, pack a gallon-size ziploc with snacks at the bottom, and then throw any extras on top,' says former Floridian and PureWow Vice President of Editorial Candace Davison. 'I carry a separate mesh bag with the kids' sand toys, so the sand filters out as you walk to your car and doesn't mingle with your other essentials.' Davison's other tip is to pack a 'wet bag.'No kid wants to go home drippy, and I can easily throw swimsuits in here and zip it closed for the ride back without getting everything else in my bag soggy.' PureWow Fashion Editor Abby Hepworth prefers strappy sandals to flip flops on sand. After burning my own feet sliding around in the latter on a beach day, I'm inclined to agree. She swears on her Tevas, but recommends any sandal that will stay secure on your foot and protect the bottom of your feet. Take it from the editor who's written an in-depth guide to sunscreen. Higher SPF is better. For the face, I'm personally a fan of Versed's Good Defense SPF 50, while PureWow Editor-in-Chief Jillian Quint's kids finally acquiesced to sun protection after she handed them the clear Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40. As for body, Davison loves good-old-fashioned Banana Boat's SPF 50 spray sunscreen, which makes covering more surface area a quick task. PureWow Food Editor and former competitive swimmer Taryn Pire swears on Dock & Bay. 'These are super light, compact and quick-drying. Since they aren't made of cotton and have a loopless design, they also retain less sand, so you won't make as big a mess in your car or house once you leave the beach,' she says. I also like eco brand Nomadix, which makes similar quick-drying towels that have sand falling away. My rookie mistake at the beach was having no shade source—which is partially how two of my friends ended up with mild heat stroke. Whether you've got an umbrella, tent or other shade apparatus, trust me when I say it's a must. Davison agrees. 'A pop-up beach tent is crucial for blazing hot days. Kids can rest (or nap) inside of it, or you can bring in some sand and let them play in the shade,' she says. You're going to be schlepping a lot, so you want a bag to match. Davison says: 'Ideally, I look for a roomy tote with at least three pockets: One for sunscreen, one for a water bottle, one for a cell phone. A key leash is a nice bonus, but a zippered interior pocket is great for holding your keys and wallet.' On the other hand, I was prepared for my beach day with a tote, but after one minute of trudging under the blazing sun, I was kicking myself for not having brought my Hulken. Hulken, wagon, your repurposed grocery cart: Trust me, you'll be happy you brought it when the sun is blazing down and you think your shoulder is going to fall off hauling all those frozen grapes. 16 Random-But-Useful Finds to Take Pool and Beach Days to the Next Level

Ashley Tisdale on what makes her High School Musical character iconic
Washington DC [US], June 22 (ANI): Actress and singer Ashley Tisdale talked about her 'High School Musical' character and what made it iconic. Tisdale, who played Sharpay Evans, a student with a love of theatre in the hit Disney franchise, recently shared what she thought was "so funny" about the role, reported People. "When I played the character of Sharpay -- I think it was probably what made her so funny -- was that I truly thought [Sharpay] was the popular girl in school. I thought Sharpay was popular, and I played it like she was popular," Tisdale recalled. "And [director] Kenny Ortega enhanced that. He made me feel like I was popular. But what's so funny is that she's not the popular girl. She's the drama queen. And my husband's like, 'That's what's so funny about how you played it. You thought you were popular,' " she continued, according to People. The actress also shared how it feels "so cool" to see the character find new life on social media and in meme culture. "Sharpay is -- I swear she's mother to everybody -- because it's like she just keeps coming back on these memes and people keep talking and doing the songs," she said, adding, "And I'm just like, I mean, out of everyone in High School Musical, my character is the most iconic. It's so cool." Tisdale, who also voices Candace Flynn in the hit animated series Phineas and Ferb, said how lucky she feels to have been a part of multiple franchises that have reached cult status. "I mean, it's so cool ... It's really awesome to be a part of these projects that have really been so prevalent in pop culture and to play these characters," she adds. "It's just, you're like, 'Dang, man.' I can't believe out of everything that I auditioned for [...] I got this animation [series] that has lasted this long. Or I was always trying to get a Disney movie, and never got the movie. And then, I got High School Musical," according to People. "Out of all the ones, I get that. This is pretty awesome," she said, reported People. 'High School Musical' became one of the most successful Disney Channel Original movies of all time. It generated two popular sequel films, the third of which was released in theatres in 2008 and earned more than USD 250 million worldwide at the box office, per Variety. Two sequels, High School Musical 2 and High School Musical 3: Senior Year, were released in August 2007 and October 2008, respectively. (ANI)

Ashley Tisdale Jokes About Her Daughter's Obsession With High School Musical
Last Updated: Ashley Tisdale shared that her daughter has become a big fan of the High School Musical trilogy and loves the songs Ashley Tisdale's daughter, Jupiter, recently made a fun discovery that her mom is Sharpay Evans from the popular High School Musical movies. In a TikTok video, Ashley shared that Jupiter has become a big fan of all three films and loves the songs too, especially Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, which the actress dislikes. Ashley explained that her daughter only started loving the movies again after watching her niece perform in a High School Musical stage play. Before this, Jupiter had seen the movies but wasn't very interested. But seeing her cousin act as her mother's character seems to have sparked a new love for the trilogy. She explained, 'Jupiter saw my niece in the High School Musical play last weekend. When she's seen the movie in the past, she never really cared about it, but I think seeing my niece in the play, play me, has just changed her. So she had to watch all three movies. She will not stop listening to the music. It's playing in the house right now. When I'm on walks with her, she asks for me to play it. When I'm in the car, she asks me to play it, specifically High School Musical 2. Her favourite song is Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, I hate that song. I don't know what kind of karma this is, but this is wild." 'She screams out, she screams out in public, 'I'm Sharpay's baby,' like I can't. I just feel so embarrassed when I'm walking into a store and she's like, 'We're all in this,' and I'm like, 'Oh, my God.' It's really sweet, but after like, a good week straight of listening to the music again, it's like, 'Ok. We're good. We don't need to watch this again. We don't have to listen to this anymore.' I always have to be like, 'Don't sing that next to me.' Because it's like, someone's gonna be like, 'Oh my god, I saw Ashley strolling her child and she was listening to her own music from High School Musical'," Ashley Tisdale added. Ashley Tisdale talking about her daughter new obsession with all Jupiter! — High School Musical Fan Archive (@archive_hsm) May 13, 2025 Interestingly, the song Humuhumunukunukuapua'a from High School Musical 2 is not as well known because it was removed from the original release. It was added later in the extended version, which came out on DVD and streaming platforms. Other than Jupiter, Ashley Tisdale also has another daughter named Emerson, whom she shares with her husband, Christopher French. First Published:

Ashley Tisdale Shares Daughter's Reaction to High School Musical
Originally appeared on E! Online Ashley Tisdale's daughter Jupiter has some fabulous requests. After all, the 4-year-old has learned from the best: her mom's High School Musical character, Sharpay Evans. The 'Be Good To Me' singer recently shared that Jupiter—whom she shares with husband Christopher French—will 'not stop' watching the Disney film after she saw her cousin play her mom's former role in a play. 'When she's seen the [original] movie in the past, she never really cared about it,' Ashley, 39, said in a May 13 TikTok video. 'But I think seeing my niece in the play has just changed her. She had to watch all three movies. She will not stop listening to the music. When I'm on walks with her, she asks for me to play it.' More from E!

In fact, Jupiter's favorite song is Sharpay's duet with brother Ryan Evans (played by Lucas Gabriel) in the second movie, 'HUMUHUMUNUKUNUKUAPUA'A'—although, Ashley isn't a huge fan of the Tiki-inspired hit. 'I hate that song, but I'm having to listen to it over and over,' she joked. 'Also, she screams out in public, 'I'm Sharpay's baby!' I literally can't.' Jupiter's newfound love for the musical film doesn't stop there, as Ashley—also mom to 11-month-old son Emerson—revealed her daughter sings 'We're All in This Together' when they're shopping in the store together. And while she occasionally gets 'embarrassed' by the moment, she also finds it endearing. 'It's really sweet,' she continued, 'but after a good week straight of listening to the music again, it's like, 'Okay…we're good. We don't need to watch this again.' Jupiter's latest reaction to High School Musical is just as hilarious as her first watch over a year ago, where she believed that Troy Bolton (portrayed by Zac Efron) was her dad. 'She's like, 'Daddy!' I was like, 'No, no, no,'' Ashley recalled in the Jan. 15 episode of the Breaking Beauty podcast, before sharing what made her daughter believe she had familial ties to Zac. 'Just because they have dark hair.'
