🌴 Must-Have Sandals for Your Beach Trip!


Aloha Reader!

If you’re heading to Hawaii or another sunny, sand-filled destination, let’s talk about one thing that can make or break your trip: your sandals. You want something cute enough for a dinner by the ocean, comfy enough for walking along beach paths or exploring farmers markets, and easy to slip on and off at the beach or pool.

After way too many “why did I pack these?!” sandal fails, I finally found some favorites that actually do it all — comfy, stylish, and perfect for beach vacations. Bonus: they’re all on Amazon, so you don’t have to make a special shopping trip!

Here are my top picks:

👣 Söfft Women's Mirabelle Platform Sandal
I’ve worn these on trips to Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and beyond. They go with everything from sundresses to shorts, and I can walk in them all day without blisters or sore feet.

👣 Vionic Women's Copal Kirra Strappy Sandals
These are cute and podiatrist-approved — yes, really! Great arch support and just dressy enough for a nice dinner or luau.

👣 REEF Vista Hi Buckle Platform Sandals
These have a laid-back island vibe and a little platform for height. My friend has two pairs and wears them nonstop on beach vacations. They look great with flowy pants or a cute romper.

👣 Teva Women’s Midform Universal Sandal
Lightweight, comfy, and made for all-day wear. They’re water-friendly too — perfect for beach walks or light hikes to waterfalls.

👣 Blowfish Women’s Granola Sandal
These are stylish but secretly super supportive. I love these for days when I want a more polished look without sacrificing comfort.

If Hawaii (or any beachy place!) is on your travel list this summer, these sandals will keep your feet happy while you soak up the sun and explore with your family.

Because let’s be honest — when your feet feel good, everyone has a better time. 😉

Warm wishes & sandy toes,
Marcie

P.S. I’ve worn these on beaches, at luaus, and even through airports — and they’ve never let me down.
