Essentials for a Fun Beach Trip
15
items As someone who grew up in Texas and spent every summer visiting family in Florida as a kid and now a Florida resident, I think I can safely say these are some of the best things you can get for a fun trip to the beach!
This is my favorite brand of sun screen. It's a little expensive compared to the drugstore brand but it smells good and most importantly, it FEELS good. I have always hated sunscreen that makes you feel greasy or slippery. This brand is great!
Sun Bum - Ulta Beauty
These aren't exactly pretty or even beachy, but function over style is key for the beach! It's got a study side table with a cup holder and it has a nice pouch on the other side to put your sunscreen or sunglasses or snacks
EVER ADVANCED Lightweight Folding Chair

Here is a more “beachy” looking option that still has the function of the other one!
ONIVA Sports Chair with Side Table - St. Tropez
While the cloth/cotton blankets are really cute, they are a pain in the butt to get all the sand off. Do yourself a favor and get one with this material, it's so easy to just shake all the sand off
WEKAPO Extra Large Sandproof Beach Blanket
It's not a beach trip in my family without at least five rounds of kadima!
Pro Kadima Paddle Set & Smash Balls Bundle
A beach umbrella is a must! We always use one like this instead of the smaller ones that clip on to the chairs
AMMSUN 7ft Heavy Duty Beach Umbrella UV 50+
Mesh bags are great for staying as sand free as possible
F-color Mesh Beach Bag - 9 Pockets Tote
This is another good option and it can be used for kayaking too
TYR Big Mesh Mummy Backpack
These are great for the beach, water parks, or kayaking! I haven't quite figured out how to keep the phone from overheating but these make it easy to keep your phone protected from water and take photos!
SYNCWIRE Waterproof Phone Pouch [2-Pack]
Unless you are bringing enough drinks and food to feed a football team, this is a great cooler that is lightweight and can still hold a lot!
YETI Hopper Flip 18 Portable Soft Cooler
We somehow don't have one of these yet but we will get one! Lugging everything takes multiple people or multiple trips and this would make a beach trip so much easier
TIMBER RIDGE Collapsible Utility Wagon, Blue
Collapsible ones don't take up as much space and they are more durable in my opinion than the hard plastic ones
TOY Life Beach Toys for Toddlers & Kids
If your kids don't like the spray, this is a quick way to apply liquid sunscreen!
Solar Buddies Sunscreen Applicator - Pink
You might look a little crazy using this but if you're at the beach by yourself, this thing is great for ensuring you don't get a sunburn on your back!
Slick Lotion Applicator, 17 inch, Organic
Don't forget your lips, scalp, and tops of your feet when applying sunscreen!
Sun Bum - Sunscreen Lip Balm SPF 30 | Ulta Beauty
