The beach offers a unique escape for anyone. This scenic retreat pairs especially well with cannabis, as the plant’s euphoric qualities can amp up the experience even more.
A beach day is all about soaking up the rays and enjoying the present moment — away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. When you’re shopping for cannabis products to throw into your beach bag, consider the beach experience you’re after!
You may gravitate toward more energizing options to complement the conversations, games, snacking, and other activities with your crew. For those primarily looking to sit back and rest, more chill hybrids and indica-leaning options could be the better choice. Even adding some CBD can go a long way.
The recreational cannabis industry has plenty to explore, with cannabis products uniquely suited for whatever beach experience you’re after. Join us as we peruse the best cannabis essentials to include in your summer beach bag!
Cannabis and Public Beaches
Before we dive in, public beaches have their limits when it comes to cannabis consumption. You can only smoke cannabis in New Jersey where cigarette smoking is permitted, unless stated otherwise.
Unfortunately, smoking is prohibited on public beaches in New Jersey. The state’s Smoke-Free Air Act also covers vaping. While it’s more discreet, we don’t advise using a cannabis vape on a public beach either. It’s best to steer clear of any inhalable option. But don’t fret: There are still plenty of other cannabis products you can consider within the confines of state law.
Trust us: You don’t want a fine to put a damper on your beach day!

Beach Aftercare with Cannabis
Using all of that social energy, moving from one activity to another, or simply soaking in all of that vitamin D can easily leave you feeling a bit drained once you return home. Planning ahead with some more wellness-focused cannabis products can be a gamechanger.
Consider it an opportunity to reacclimate yourself with the flower you missed at the beach! Chill out with an indica, or take things slow with a hybrid offering a bit more energy before a smooth invitation to rest up:
Cannabis topicals are another way to welcome an evening of post-beach ease. Infused creams will help you tackle any specific areas in need of a pick-me-up, while patches will deliver full-body relief gradually encompassing you with restfulness:
- Escape Artists Relief Cream 2:1:2 CBG:CBD:THC- Cedar & Black Pepper – 2oz
- Escape Artists – Menthol Relief Cream Tube 8:1:1 CBD:CBG:THC – 2oz
- Rejuv – [Renew] THC Transdermal Patches – 50mg
After the beach, you may try out other minor cannabinoids. Products with CBD can ease any post-beach jitters, especially if you have to gear up for work or other commitments in the days ahead. If you’re ready to plop down on the couch (or right into bed), CBN is great for a solid night of slumber.
- Wyld – Strawberry 20:1 CBD:THC Gummies 10pk – 100mg
- Journeyman – Blueberry Lemonade 1:2 CBN:THC Syrup 2oz – 100mg
