Of all the sand toys, these are some of our faves. The collapsible buckets make for easy storage and they’re very sturdy material!
Collapsible sand buckets
This may seem silly, but when you are ready to sit down for a few minutes, it’s a life saver. Dig a hole, lay the tarp down, and fill it up with water! My kids are 2, 4, and 6, and all will play in it. We received this as a birthday gift and are so t...

This may seem extra but it’s so worth it. Another foldable option that packs into an easy carrying bag. Having the cup holders up in the table helps to keep sand out of them. It’s also nice to be able to put things on the bottom shelf of the table to...
Portable table
A good beach wagon can make a huge difference. What to look for in a beach wagon: large wheels, easily foldable, lightweight and sturdy. This one checks all the boxes!

Throw these on the kids and head to the car! One less thing to carry and they can wear them all the way home!

WEKAPO Beach Tent Sun Shelter
This was a lifesaver when our daughter was younger! She liked sitting on her belly and being able to play in the water. The sun shade is a bonus, too!
Baby Float
Convenience at its best!
If there’s one thing you buy from this list, let it be this! IT WORKS. I don’t know about you, but after rinsing off three kids, I’m ready to get in the car and get home. You rub this bag over your skin and the sand comes right off!
SHAKALO SANDSCREEN Sand Removal Bag
Whoever invented this is a genius! Put your liquid sunscreen in it, and it’s a roll on applicator for kids. It’s a time saver and helps with even application!
Solar Buddies Sunscreen Applicator
A fan is a good idea for anyone, adults and kids alike. I prefer the stroller fans so you can hang it right onto your chair or table!
