A good pair of polarized sunglasses are essential if you are spending time outdoors in Florida! They ensure you’ll be able to see through the water more clearly, while also protecting your eyes from the bright, reflecting sun!

The BEST of the BEST! Soft, lightweight, easy to get sand off. Able to be folded down smaller than a normal beach blanket or towel, so it doesn’t take up too much space in my beach bag. Fun designs that keep me coming back and purchasing more!

This is definitely a must have for those long days at the beach! I much prefer this to an umbrella because you don’t have to worry about the sun shifting throughout the day. Big enough for my whole family!

My favorite Florida beaches require a bit of a trek through the sand to get to them. I’m not a huge fan of rolling coolers for that reason, and prefer a backpack cooler.

My #1 must have for snack! At the beach, I love that your snacks are safe from seagulls! They are small enough that each of my kids can get their own (no fighting!). I like how I don’t have to worry about the snacks crushing in the cooler as well! Ea...

I always have these with me, but they are especially helpful at the beach! No more wet swimsuits thrown at the bottom of the bag, getting your book wet!

I love that the bag is like a net; makes it easy for the toys to dry and the excess sand to come off! The collapsible bucket is also a huge space saver!

Living in Florida, getting my son used to wearing a hat has been a non negotiable! It gives me a little more feeling of security that his sensitive skin is being protected!

For coolers with wheels, I have found that Rtic is my favorite! Keeps drinks and ice cold and the wheels are heavy duty and easily wheel through the sand.

These are so convenient for my kids, who complain about their towels falling off constantly. It dries them off but dries quickly itself. I also like how it has a pocket so they can keep any treasures they find on the walk back to the car safe!
