Beach-Bound Philly: Shop for the Essentials in Center City

You're packing for the beach and you need a swimsuit, stat. Every summer, Liberty Place's Cameo Water Wear reappears in time for the shore-seeking souls of Philadelphia.

They've got fun designs from Trina Turk, as well as the basics, with coverups, sarongs, and Haviana flip-flops to trek across the sand in.

From there, we suggest you accessorize with some sunglasses, bangles, and beachy tunics at South Moon Under, which also stocks plenty of swimwear for men and women.

Then head to Kiehl's for the ultimate in sun protection, because skin is the most important summer accessory. The Vital Sun Protection Spray is perfect for a quick spritz.

You can get out the city, but it's always fun to shop there first.
