Your schedule is cleared, your plans are made, your tickets are booked — it's time for a summer trip. Of course, some serious style preparation is in need for the affair. Most beach vacations are laid-back and restful, prioritizing recharging and sightseeing above all else. When it comes to your wardrobe, you likely want to keep things low-key, versatile and comfort-minded. That's especially true when it comes to footwear.

For warm-weather vacations to the beach, sandals are a style must. Sandals keep your feet cool and comfortable, plus they are easy to slide on and off when needed (hello, crystal-clear water!). But only packing constricting gladiators or jute wedges is just not the vibe for relaxation and comfort. While you probably want a pair of fancy shoes for dressy dinners and evening soirees, your everyday footwear should be much more casual.

Luckily, Nordstrom Rack is stockpiled with beach-ready sandal options that will reinvigorate your vacation-ready footwear collection. From iconic Tevas to cushy waterproof slides, the retailer stocks it all.

Below, take a look at these top beach-ready sandals from Nordstrom Rack, all priced under $50. All will withstand a day of walking — or a day of relaxing in the sand.

Tevas are an institution in sandals. The brand has been around for 30 years, making active sandals that fuse fashion and functionality. And yes, you can get a pair for under $35 at Nordstrom Rack. Tevas are truly the ultimate sandal — for vacation and beyond.

Crocs may be synonymous with lightweight clogs, but the brand is also in the sandal game. Crocs sandals mold to your foot, thanks to the brand's proprietary featherweight material. It sounds fancy, but all it means is unparalleled comfort to your footwear collection. And isn't laidback comfort what vacation is all about?

Pool slides are a vacation must. This waterproof pair by MIA ups the style with a boosted, ultra-cushioned platform that doesn't sacrifice comfort. Plus, this shoe silhouette comes in five colors to tailor to your vacation wardrobe.

Slip on this cushioned Nike slide for an easy, effortless vacation shoe. Made of soft foam and a contoured grip footbed, this sandal is comfortable to walk along the boardwalk and beyond. The treaded sole is sand-ready!

No sandal collection is complete without a pair of flip-flops. Versatile and simple, flip-flops are so easy to pack — they take up virtually no space! Might as well slip a pair of Havaianas into your luggage. They are top-quality flip-flops that will last for years.

You know Hunter makes rain boots — but did you know the brand also makes sandals? This stylish pair blends a sporty silhouette with lightweight foam for the ultimate active sandal. And that's all not to mention the three cute colors to choose from.

If your want style over extra-cushioned comfort, these sandals by Katy Perry (yes, Katy Perry) are pure summer perfection. Each of the seven colorways has a summer-themed toe decoration, adding a dose of fun to your footwear. The compliments won't stop.
