32 Best Beach Cover-Ups Under The Sun, Because Minimizing UV Exposure Is Sexy

Whether poolside or oceanside, this short sleeve cover-up is a perfect option, according to over six thousand Amazon customers. The lace neckline and tassel hems are just the right amount of detail for an otherwise simple silhouette. It’s available in thirty different color/pattern options in sizes XS-4XL, so you can truly find your perfect fit.

This polyester and spandex blend maxi dress is available in 16 different colors, but we like this simple “coffee” pattern since we’re likely to spill coffee on it anyway. It’s the perfect maxi to pop over your bathing suit when you want to grab a latte (or a cocktail) while still being ready to swim at a moment’s notice.

For those blistering hot afternoons, this lightweight polyester cover-up means you won’t overheat, and we love that the drawstrings at both sides (with cute tassel finishes) mean you can play with the length. And the high-low hem and V-neck design is great if you want a little sun-kissed action without being fully exposed. If your kids ruin all your white clothes, this option is also available in 22 other colors.

This V-neck chiffon cover-up has two side slits (hello, sexy), lace detail at the neck, and beachy tassels all along the hem. It’s available in 36 colors but you can’t go wrong with white. (Although, browsing through the customer review photos, the black option is also super popular.)

This 100% rayon dress has flow-y 3/4 length sleeves and a pretty vintage flower bohemian print. Pair it with a big hat and you’re ready for a fancy dinner at the resort or casual oceanside shopping.

For a cover-up that wears like real clothes, this is the dress for you. If you want a more sheer option, go for one of the lighter colors, but this gorgeous blue really pops. One Amazon customer said “I got it in black and it is seriously cute enough to wear as a dress instead of just a cover-up,” so this piece definitely deserves a spot in your suitcase.

Want the perfect blend of sexy and sophisticated? Made of a cool rayon/spandex blend, this collared cover-up has sexy side slits and a deep V-neck. The 3/4 sleeves offer great sun protection and the longer back hem will give you some bum coverage, too.

For a natural beach look, this light-weight polyester cover-up has drawstrings at each side slit and breezy V-neck. It’s available in nine colors, but this natural beige color is serving major desert island vibes.

This striped crochet cover-up with tassel hemline is perfect for sunset dates on the beach, but it would look super cute with denim shorts and a straw hat to hit the boardwalk, too. It comes in eight other colors and fits sizes small through large.

This bohemian style crochet cover-up has a drawstring waist and long romantic split-sleeves. It comes in one size, and customers up to size 16 are in love with the fit. And since it comes in thirteen different colors, tons of reviewers report they purchased it multiple colors.

For partial sun protection and complete fun, this super sexy maxi length crochet cover-up is a great way to show off your swimsuit and some skin. It also comes in white, but honestly we think you should just buy both.
