Planning on heading to the beach for the day or a week? With our essential beach checklist packing for your trip will be a breeze, you’ll most likely save money since you won’t have to purchase items you already have, and it will make your trip more relaxing and fun for everyone!

• Blanket: A blanket is a perfect spot for everyone to sit and enjoy the beach, plus it’s a great place for the kids to nap if they get tired.
• Towels: A must-have, especially if you are going to be in the water.
• Camping Chairs: Camping chairs are easily portable and a comfortable way to sit on the beach and relax.
• Cooler: Bring a cooler stocked with drinks and snacks. This will ensure you and the kids can stay hydrated and that you won’t be hungry. Plus, it can double as a table for eating or playing games!
• Water Bottle: It’s vital that you stay hydrated if you are going to be out in the Sun. Pack water bottles and store them in your cooler to keep drinks ice cold all day long.
• Umbrella or Shelter: If you’re out in the Sun, you are going to want a little shade so that you don’t get sunburned and can cool down when necessary. An umbrella or shelter pairs perfectly with a blanket, especially if you have kids who may need a nap during the day.
• Beach Bag: A beach bag makes it easy to carry everything you need like sunblock, towels, snorkeling gear and more.
• Sunblock: This is a must-have to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the Sun. Burn easily? Consider also bringing a shirt that also provides UV Protection.
• Sunglasses: Your eyes are one of your most important assets, keep them protected.
• Hat: Provide and an extra layer of protection for your eyes, skin, and hair with a hat.
• Portable Speaker: Bring your favorite tunes with you to the beach with a portable speaker. Music and the beach, the perfect combo for relaxation.
• Snorkeling Gear: Snorkeling masks and fins provide a fun way to explore the world below the water and all the beauty it has to offer.
• Beach Sports and Water Toys: Make sure to pack toys and games for both in and out of the water like a Frisbee, Volleyball, a deck of cards, buckets and shovels, water guns, and pool noodles.
• Waterproof Phone Case: Keep your phone handy, but also safe and protected from sand and water with a waterproof case. Thinking about bringing a tablet? You can get waterproof cases for them as well.
• Dry Bag: Perfect for items you don’t want to get wet, such as a change of clothes.
