My Favorite Beach Gear
My family has been going to the beach almost every year since I can remember. I've continued the tradition with my husband and kids. And, these are some of our tried and true, AND new favorite must-have items
We used to drag a 12x12 popup tent to the beach every day. The CoolCabanas are much lighter, easy to pop up and so much easier to transport to the beach! Highly recommend for some shade!
CoolCabanas | The World's Best Beach Shelter ...
I get asked every year at the beach where I got my chair! It has a cooler pouch, drink holder, and is super easy to transport with the backpack straps. I need my hands free to wrangle kids!

I think I was one of the last people to know about Sand Cloud. The best beach towels! They are pricey, but so worth it if you frequent beaches.

Everyone needs a portable bluetooth speaker. We've had ours for many years, and it still works great. Pick your favorite - doesn't have to be fancy!
Portable Bluetooth Speakers
A waterproof phone case is a must have if you are boating while at the beach. However, I use one just to keep the sand and any water off of my phone while sitting beachside

I have the softshell cooler because I find it easier to transport with all of the gear needed for two kids. The larger coolers with wheels are awesome!

Extra Large Beach Bag - I love the mesh design that allows the sand to fall through the bottom.
Extra Large Beach Bag
We used this tent when my kids were babies. It didn't take too long to set up and was a lifesaver for naptime at the beach! Its big enough that I could sit my beach chair in the tent, while my baby napped beside me.
