Add These Important Items to Your Family Beach Packing List

Sun Protection Essentials

  • Don’t forget to add sunscreen to your family beach trip packing list. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends applying sunscreen that is water resistant, at least SPF 30, and broad spectrum.

  • We also suggest packing wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses to help shield your eyes and face from UV rays.

  • Pack some lightweight, long-sleeved shirts and cover-ups with UPF fabric for added protection.

Beach Gear

  • Look for some umbrellas or pop-up tents for portable shade while you’re on the beach.

  • Don’t forget to add beach towels for lounging and drying off on your family beach vacation packing list.

  • Take some portable chairs or beach blankets for comfortable seating while you enjoy your day soaking up the sun.

  • Pack some beach toys for the kids, such as buckets, shovels, and sandcastle molds.

Water Activities Equipment

  • Take some snorkeling gear with you for exploring underwater marine life.

  • Pack inflatable tubes or rafts to help you float in the gentle waves.

  • Add boogie boards or surfboards to your family beach vacation packing list to catch some waves.

  • You can also bring or rent some paddle boards or kayaks for a leisurely paddle along the shoreline.

Hydration and Snacks

  • It’s important to add plenty of water to your beach packing list to stay hydrated under the sun.

  • Pack some healthy snacks for your family, like fruits, nuts, and granola bars, to your packing list to keep energy levels up during your unforgettable family beach vacation.

  • Bring along some coolers to keep drinks and perishable snacks cold throughout the day.
