On Sunday Bobby and I leave for Destin, Florida for his annual conference. Today I started thinking about packing, and decided to write everything down, which led to the idea for this blog post. I know a lot of people heading to the beach so hopefully this will help spark something you may have forgotten to pack!
Please note I am not listing things you would bring on ANY trip with you like your toiletries, etc. but just more specifically for the actual beach. Enjoy!
Packing for the Beach:
- Sunscreen
- Swimsuit
- umbrella or tent
- beach towels
- hat
- sunglasses
- cooler (preferably with wheels or backpack style works well)
- Frisbee/volleyball/buckets/beach toys
- personal fan /batteries
- bottled water/drinks
- snacks
- beach chairs
- book/magazine
- camera and memory card
- beach bag
- aloe vera/after sun lotion
- lip balm with sun protectant in it
- bug spray
- beach cover up
- flip flops/water shoes
- snorkel gear/fins/floatation devices
- flashlight (for nighttime, obviously)
- bag for trash/empty bottles
- mat or towel to set personal items on
QOTD: What would you add to this list for a day at the beach? (and wow I just realized we bring a lot of stuff when we go to the beach!).
Hope y’all have a great time! 🙂
Me, too 🙂
Have so much fun! I bet EK is going to LOVE crawling in the sand and water!!!
Bobby’s mom is coming down to stay with her while we go. 🙂
I think you are forgetting me! Haha : )
Hope y’all have a blast at the beach!
haha. Thanks!
Have a blast at the beach!
thanks!
Another item to pack: a small bottle of baby powder. Baby powder helps get the beach sand off as long as your feet are dry. Even better, take along a paint brush to dust off the sand and powder. You can pack both and just leave in the car to get rid of that last bit of sand before you get in the car.
This is so complete packing list for the beach! You didn’t forget anything to write down. I love preparing and going to the beach, can’t wait for the summer:)
