As a True Floridian, These Are My Beach Essentials
15
items Beach life hits different when you’re a born & raised Floridian and a mama ☀️🏖️👙 Here’s how I keep the kids entertained, everyone sun-safe, and our beach days stress-free.
The best beach chairs! You can find them at Costco for a great price during spring-summer season. These are 1000% worth it. They are built to last and lightweight to carry so you can be hands-free. It’s a must for our family.
Tommy Bahama Beach Chair 2-pack
The ultimate beach bag! I have a bright orange 35 and it’s perfect. The material is so easy to clean off, you can literally take a hose to it if you wanted to. The little side compartments are great for holding large water bottles. I usually pack our...
Camino® 35 Carryall Tote Bag
We have a closet full of these. Beach towels get dirty, worn out, & even lost. You don’t need anything fancy they have great ones at target for a good price.
Beach Towels
Trust me on this! Get a face stick for the kids! Idk what it is but most kids hate getting lotion put on their face or they are sooo excited they don’t want to wait until you smear it all out. The stick saves all that trouble and time.
BLUE LIZARD Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+
I like the sport & lotion over sprays especially with kids.
Blue Lizard Sunscreen
Crocs are my go-to beach sandal! They are super easy to clean off all the sand in the showers or with a dry towel if the beach doesn’t have showers. I have these exact like green ones :)
Cute & Comfortable Women's Slide Sandals
Crocs for the kids too! Super easy to put on and take off. Easy to clean, and locate when you’re about to leave.
Kids' Shoes: Clogs, Sneakers, Sandals, & More
Listen if you have little kids, get a wagon. Trust me. So easy to throw everything in there and go. Sometimes I throw the kids in there too 🤣
Collapsible Heavy Duty Folding Wagon Cart
Music at the beach is a must! We love our JBL.
Bluetooth Speakers - Buy Authentic Products at the Official JBL Shop
Bring toys! You don’t need anything fancy or excessive amounts of pieces. Get a bucket for each kid and have some toys they can share & keep it moving!
Beach Toys for Kids - Collapsible Sand Bucket Set
This is my longest standing water bottle to date. I’ve had it for 10+ yrs, it’s all banged up but still one of my favs! Keeps water soooo cold in hot temps. We usually take it for beach trips, sports games, park days, etc. And they are SO cheap!
Bubba - Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle
I prefer claw clips over hair ties at the beach. It’s easier to take on and off when your hair is wet.
Claw Clips
Pub sub! Iykyk! If you’re in Florida, an absolute must for the locals here is a Publix sub then head out to your beach or boating day. **Highly recommend the chicken tender sub 🤤
Sub Sandwich - Publix Super Market
Stop by Publix or a local market and get cut fruit! Or if you already have fruit in your fridge throw them in a mason jar! Fruit at the beach hits different :)
Cut Fruit
If we plan to stay all day, we’ll bring this bad boy. It’s worth it but you definitely need 2 adults to set it up. If it’s just you and the kiddos, skip out and bring a traditional umbrella. ***BTW do not bring on very windy days! I know it says it’l...
