Here are some must haves, as well as some of our personal favorites when heading to the beach with babies!
- Beach Bag: We'd recommend something large enough to include all of your junk, but ideally would have a zipper to keep sandy breezes from coating your gear. A favorite is the Super Organizing Tote from Thirty One Gifts! With lots of pockets and a zipper, it's got all of the requirements for a perfect bag and comes in cute colors!
- Towels (one per person)
- Beach Chairs (one per adult): We love our Big Kahuna Beach Chairs by RIO which can lay flat to accommodate a sleeping baby!
- Neat Sheet or Blanket to provide a clean surface
- Sunscreen: Kid friendly spray's keep little wigglers sun safe without the struggle
- Sun Glasses: We adore Baby Banz for sunglasses that stay on and protect little eyes. It did take some convincing for the babies to keep them on, but now they love them!
- Small Cooler: For milk, or juice during hot days (and maybe your diet coke or beer). Choose resealable containers to prevent spills and keep sand out of beverages. Freeze a bottle of water to use as an ice pack, which doubles as an extra drink when it melts!
- Food: Kid friendly snacks like cool "squish pouches", cut fruit, cereal, cheese or any other favorites!
- Baby Hat
- Swim Diapers and Regular Diapers
- Change of Clothes for Baby
- Ziplock Bag: For wet clothes
- Plastic Grocery Bag: For dirty diapers and trash
- Pacifiers for Nap and Spray Bottle with Water
- Light Blanket for keeping sand away during naps. We like Aden and Anis's muslin swaddle blankets which we use for everything! They're large and light and perfect for summer.
- Corn Starch or Baby Powder
- Sand Toys: Our kids favorites were a simple sand bucket, shovel, rake and molds. At only 9 months, they weren't able to use them in the traditional fashion but enjoyed moving the sand around with the tools and dumping it out of the molds.
- Flotation Device or Baby Intertube if desired for pool
- Book or Magazine for Mom
- Camera to capture those special memories
