Kids Beach Gear

Summer means fun in the sun and we are headed to the beach later this month! Having the right beach gear for kids of all ages helps to ensure both a fun and a safe time! I rounded up our beach must haves for babies, toddlers & kids. Happy splashing ☀️💦

• Sunscreen -  For those new around here, I love sunscreen! I slather myself & the kids daily, so a trip to the beach is no different. I am sharing one my favorite water resistant sunscreens. Check out this post for my complete list of family favorite sunscreens.
• UV Detection Stickers - If you don’t know when to reapply, these are a game changer.
• Swimwear - Pack comfortable and appropriate swimwear for your kids. Consider rash guards for added sun protection and swim diapers for infants or toddlers.
• Beach Towels - I bought my tween microfiber camping towels for sleepaway camp and they were such a hit we will be using these for travel. Lightweight & fast drying!!
• Beach Toys -  My kids love a variety of beach toys, from buckets & shovels for building sandcastles, to boogie boards for the older kids. This summer I bought this Beach Aquarium kit which allows the kids to learn about nature, then return it to the ocean.
• Goggles - My kids compete on swim team year-round, so they love their goggles. But even before they were in the pool daily, they wore goggles at the beach as salt water would sting their eyes. These and these are our favorite goggles as they are mirrored, so basically sunglasses too!
• Mesh Beach Bag: I love my Bogg Bag, but for trips where we need to fly to the beach, I love this packable mesh beach bag! It’s lightweight yet spacious enough to carry all my essentials and has compartments to keep things organized. Don’t forget the wet bag, to keep wet items separate!
• Wagon - With everything you are going to be carrying, a heavy duty, all terrain beach wagon comes in handy!
