The strappy sandal


There’s a lot to love about a strappy sandal - especially if a beach day is on the cards. With breathability and a naturally sand-compatible design, they’re super easy to throw on and off, so when it’s time to take a dip, you can do so with zero fuss.

The wedge


If you’re into something slightly more elevated, then a wedge is a great option. Because you can’t wear a classic heel in the sand, a wedge is your key to a little added height. Material is key here, as something too urban could look out of place- go for a raffia or espadrille-esque style to perfect the beachy look.

The ballet pump


This one might come as a bit of a surprise, but we are really loving some of the more beach-ready iterations of the classic ballet pump silhouette at the moment. Take a look at some of our picks and you’ll see that ballet pumps come in all manner of styles, many of which are suited perfectly to your beach-based adventures.


One thing to consider if you’re opting for a ballet pump for the beach: make sure it has a lattice or raffia construction that’ll allow sand to pass through. Tick that box, and you’ll be equipped with a lightweight, breathable piece of footwear that can carry you onto more solid ground for all your other summer escapades.
