You cannot tell me a damn thing about this fan. It is in my little shoulder bag at all times… even during girls night at the bar. Yes, she comes to the bar because she is small but mighty and your girl cannot do humidity or too many bodies around h...

Now I am NOT a hat person, but I am a messy bun person, especially on the beach. In my old age I need to protect my face so this hat is an excellent compromise! Velcros in the back for a good fit lets the top of your head breathe and your hair stay ...

I need 8 arms as it is- I'm obsessed with wearable towels! They keep my hands free, I don't have to keep my arms locked at my sides to keep the towel from slipping, they have a hood in case of rain or if I'm cold, plus it protects me from the sun!  Highly recommend!

These are my absolute favorite sunglasses.  They go with me everywhere.  I have guarded them with my life for years.  They are Premium Polarized 580G lenses to filter the reflective glare while outdoors and in the water.  Scratch resistant and durable- I can attest to this since they have been dropped A MILLION times, especially with my kids and they are still perfect.  Adjustable nose piece, 100% UV protection.  They're amazing.  I questioned the green and gold coloring at first but they are so sharp and I'm obsessed with them.  Definitely an investment, but it has been well worth it!

TBH I really have a hard time with sunscreen because the sprays miss too many places and I break out with most. But this one I can honestly say doesn’t clog my pores, keeps me from getting burnt and rubs in nicely. This is what I have stocked for t...

Love this for my face because regular sunscreens usually get in my eyes and mouth and make me feel/taste gross until I shower. Keeps me from getting burnt, no breakouts and I pair with a SPF chapstick 💋

SHIBUMI!! Obsessed with this. Such a good block from the sun with lots of room underneath. Easy to setup, perfect for little ones to get out of the sun/nap. Insanely better than a beach umbrella!

Amazing beach wagon!! We use this now instead of our kid's wagon and the traction is so much better- per my husband, I don't partake in this part :) I definitely see him struggle less with this!  Plus it folds up nicely to make it super easy to store or carry when you're not using it.  The wheels have locks to stay in place and it holds up to 560lbs! You can throw some kids in there but I will say it does not come with infant straps or any seatbelts for that matter- use for kids at your own risk! you can also bring a mat or extra t... It is super helpful!

These are my kids favorite towels!  They basically refuse to wear normal ones now because these ones make them feel warmer and are easily to use.  Hands-free, they can eat their snacks or still play in peace while not being worried about being cold or dropping the towel.  They also track significantly less water into the house because they leave them on and don't drop them after 2 seconds.
