Finally At the Beach!

Packing all the items needed at the beach is crucial, for your entire holidaying will revolve around the seashore! You should have essentials like beach towels, blankets, tents, umbrellas, floats, goggles, waterproof bag for keeping the cell phones and other electronics, sunscreen, hairbrushes, hats, sunglasses, lip balm, hand sanitizers etc.

To ensure that your family’s entertainment never comes to a stop, it is smart to carry things like books, basketball, Kindle, board games, magazines, Frisbees, playing cards, videogames, camera, iPad and iPod and laptop. Other important items like extra batteries, flashlight should also be taken along. Remember, the best family beach vacation is not in items you carry but the time spent together, which creates long term memories. Items are for convenience.

If you have toddlers or kids, it is better to carry floaters to ensure their safety. Or even better, take along life jackets which have been approved by the coast guards. They might also be used when your kids splash into the pool at the hotel.

If you are going to be at the beach, you might even consider keeping a big, empty jar which can be used to collect sea shells and sand. Once you return home, you can keep this jar as a souvenir of the trip.

Corn starch and baby powder are two things which amazingly remove all the sand off your bodies. They won’t take much of your luggage space. Instead of taking along strollers (which don’t roll smoothly on sand) for babies, you may carry convenient baby carriers.

While your kids are basking in the sun, they would love to color and draw which makes carrying coloring books and crayons a very sensible idea. Book readers may even consider taking their favorite novels along.
