A day at the beach can help us unplug, and after the past few months it's something everyone can use. Taking a day off doesn't mean we also have to be unconnected. These seven devices can keep our drinks cold, the music flowing, and the air cool around us. They range in price, and all can be used wirelessly out on the sand, or can help keep your existing devices protected from the sea, sun and salt.
