    Tips on taking Kids to the Beach

    Published: Jun 17, 2009 · Modified: May 1, 2019 · By Jill · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

    many moms probably feel like going to the beach is a big ordeal and a lot work. i actually love going.  and to make it a lot easier i find it is best to pack your car for the summer.  meaning keeping all your beach gear in the car all the time so you can pretty much put on a swim suit, pack a lunch and go.  here is what i leave in the car:

    in a large beach bag:
    • sunscreen
    • towels (one per person, plus a couple extras)
    • magazine
    • sunglasses
    • baby powder (tip: it instantly takes off sticky sand when we are leaving)
    • camera
    • quarters (if i am going to a beach with parking meters)
    • anything that i need to keep away from sand
    i also pack:
    • umbrella
    • beach chair (one that has backpack straps and a pocket on the back, perfect to keep my keys,    cell phone and purse)
    • sand toys (i fill the large buckets with the shovels, molds and small buckets)
    i don't keep my cooler in the car, i get it ready before i go with plenty of snack, juices, water and treats.
    now this is a lot of stuff for one mommy to carry, and of course the kids never want to help.  so how do i get all this stuff down to the beach?
    the Wonder Wheeler!  i never go to the beach without it.  i have been using it for 3 years and it is great because it carries everything at once.

    i try to keep all this stuff packed nicely in my trunk all summer long.  it sure helps getting out the door a lot easier since going to the beach is my most favorite thing to do in the summer.  and you will definitely find me there once or twice a week.
    happy beaching!
