This is the ‘Star Wars’ Beach Gear You’re Looking For

Star Wars Day is here, so share your Jedi or Empire allegiance on your island vacation.

May 2, 2019

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.
