National Superhero Day and the release of Avengers: Endgame have come and gone, but that doesn't mean it's back to the traditional beach gear. Saturday, May 4, is upon us, but the more devout science-fiction fans know it better as Star Wars Day.
In honor of this beloved pop culture institution, we've picked our favorite Star Wars beach and pool gear for your next island vacation or filming location trip. From cooler bags to pool floats, this gear screams, "May the 4th be with you," but we know it's really going to be in your travel bags all year round.
What better way to dry off after a cool dip in the ocean or pool than with this glorious reminder of Han Solo's coldest moment? However, if you're traveling as a couple you should consider matching "I love you" and "I know" towels.
There are many Star Wars towels available for your little Jedis, but the classic look of this hooded Millennium Falcon towel is as cool as Lando. It also pairs well with our next piece of gear…
It's pretty easy to picture yourself lounging in a pool with this fantastic inflatable Millennium Falcon, while you're sipping on a Fuzzy Tauntaun.
When you're taking the whole Red Squadron on vacation, you need to bring along the proper X-wing pool float to keep everyone occupied.
Dressing as an actual stormtrooper would probably be a poor choice for the beach. This boys' two-piece swimsuit will keep your little bucketheads safe from the sun, but not from the Jedi mind trick.
While it won't store any holographic recordings from a princess or general, this girls' R2-D2 swimsuit is perfect for any young beachbound sidekick.
Keeping your child's eyes protected is crucial, at the beach or pool, and the SwimWays Star Wars BB-8 Goggles will do just that while paying tribute to everyone's favorite little round droid.
If you're staying local, flying to an island halfway around the world or even hiding out on Tatooine, you'll need beach-appropriate footwear that will keep your child's feet safe from the blazing sand. Footwear doesn't get much cooler than Crocs X-wing Light-up clogs.
Safety first, whether you're at a resort pool or facing off against Kylo Ren. Star Wars kids arm floaties are compact and easy to blow up. Basically, they're the opposite of the Death Star.
Mom and dad deserve all the comfort in the world, and this fleece Chewbacca robe looks like it's comfortable enough to wear poolside or after a visit to the spa. Just don't wear it to the Mos Eisley cantina, because bounty hunters might be looking for a wookie.
If you get the Chewbacca robe then you might as well pair it with the Chewbacca can cooler.
No trip to the beach is complete without a bag full of cold beverages, so kill two porgs with one stone and load your favorite drinks into this Star Wars canvas cooler bag.
