Because bringing babes to the beach is hard enough, you want to know what gear actually is worth lugging along with you!
This tent is our number one recommendation for beach goers with littles- easy to setup and break down, a sunshade canopy, removable play mat and screened in sides- couldn’t ask for more!
The California Beach Co Pop 'N Go Playpen - Black
This powder pouch wipes over sandy skin and removes the sand in seconds- a true lifesaver for getting in and out of the car and for cleaning hands before snack time!
Sand Off Powder - Amazon.com
Sunscreen applicator that kids won’t fuss about using.

Do yourself a favor and get the poncho style towels- so much easier to use when taking your littles to the restroom or snack stand!
Hooded Towels Kids
Great to use to keep tabs on towels or family blankets.
Beach Towel Stakes
I bury mine in the sand under my cooler!
Waterproof Valuables Bag
This soft-sided cooler opens on the top and sides- perfect for kids to use to grab their snacks! I use mine for pouches and applesauce packets.
Kanga Cooler
Collapsible sand toys in a mesh bag make packing and messes so much easier!
Collapsible Sand Toys
This stroller is built for two kids, but also rotates into a wagon that you can pull through sand. So good for cargo and kiddos!
Pivot Xplore All-Terrain Stroller Wagon
Better than the MUCH more expensive competitor, but a necessity for the beach!
Getaway Bag
This acts as a beach boomerang- you throw it into the water and the waves bring it back. Best toy!
Surfer Dudes Classics Wave Powered Mini-Surfer
Worth the price tag- these withstand the wear and tear of toddlers!
All Sunglasses
Love having these wet pouches in my beach bag to put the wet clothes/bathing suits in so they don’t soak everything else in the bag.

We love setting up a little scavenger hunt for the older kiddos on the beach! We hide chocolate coins and fake money in Easter eggs and use this metal detector to hunt for them.

Learned this tip from a lifeguard- always dress your littles in neon for high visibility in public places! Stay away from white and blue as they blend with the water.
