“Sea Life” Side Plates
Reminiscent of fine china but made from durable melamine, these bright, bold plates adorned with water-dwelling creatures are perfect for a shoreside picnic.
$33 for a set of four 9-inch plates, Lekker Home.
Filson
Large Soft-Sided Cooler
Tote your beach eats in style with this water-repellent twill bag, which boasts a comfy cotton shoulder strap, heavy-duty insulated lining and fashion-forward brass-and-leather accents.
$295, Hilton’s Tent City.
Briggs Original
Boston Cranberry
Made from Massachusetts cranberries, this not-too-sweet spiked seltzer—brewed in Somerville by former Porto beverage director Neil Quigley and his friend Michael Kurson—is exceedingly crushable on a hot day.
$9 for a four-pack, Huntington Wine and Spirits.
Brewer’s Crackers
Sesame Sea Salt
Once a forager for Manhattan’s Eleven Madison Park, Kyle Fiasconaro now spends his days in Boston making malty, addictively crunchy crackers with spent grains from local breweries such as Lamplighter and Aeronaut.
