If you are going to the beach, you will want to bring a few things with you. Taking a trip to the sandy shore involves more than just driving and sitting in the sand, especially if you are bringing children with you.
1. Beach blanket
The sand can be hot
and uncomfortable, so the number one item you should bring is a big beach
blanket. Towels are useful, but they can quickly become covered with sand.
Having a large space that you can keep sand-free will make the beach trip more
enjoyable.
2. Sun canopy or umbrella
It can be hot at the
beach, especially if you are in an area without shade. So, you should bring
your own in the form of a canopy or beach umbrella. Don’t forget to bring
weights to tie the canopy or umbrella down in case the wind picks up while you
are enjoying yourself at the beach.
3. Entertainment
If you have children
with you, you might consider bringing a portable DVD player, so they can have
some down time under the canopy. You also might find it fun to watch a movie in
the sand.
4. Cooler
Many beaches have
small cafes or stores with food, but you are better off bringing your own food
in a cooler. If you have a cooler with wheels and a handle, then you can tow it
behind you rather than lifting it. If you use ice packs instead of ice, the
inside of the cooler will stay neat and clean.
5. Waterproof shoes
Anyone who has walked
on hot sand with bare feet will tell you how important it is to wear sandals or
water shoes at the beach. The sun beating down on the sand can make the sand
simply too hot to walk on, so you’ll want sandals or water shoes that will keep
your feet protected if you walk to the water. The sandals should also be
waterproof because you will want to wear them in the water to protect yourself
from things that might be in the water that could hurt your feet.
6. Sunscreen
No one wants a
sunburn, so you should always bring sunscreen to the beach. Even if you have a
canopy or umbrella, you should wear at least SPF 15 sunscreen.
7. Games and Toys
If you have children
with you, you will want to bring several games and toys that will keep them
busy on the beach. Bring items like balls and digging toys. It is best to bring
several toys, because children will become bored quickly. If you are going to
the beach with adults, then you should consider bringing things like a baseball
and gloves, footballs, frisbees, or other fun items.
8. Wagon
When you bring all of
this to the beach, you will appreciate having a wagon to carry it all. Find one
that you can fold up to put in your trunk, because all of the other items will
take up a lot of space.
