Beach days have always been one of my favorite things! There is just something about the mix of the sun hitting your skin and the salty ocean breeze filling the air that makes for the best day. I couldn’t believe my husband never remembered spending a day at the beach before he met me! Needless to say, that has very much changed! It’s one of our favorite things to do together, and now we enjoy it as a family!
Making sure we were able to continue our beach day traditions with a baby was imperative, and I was going to make it happen. I can successfully say, we have a beach loving boy, who makes every beach day even more perfect! He enjoys the sun, sand, water, and naps for 2+ hours each time! Check out the list below for the products we use for our best beach day!
1. Pop-up canopy tent –We usually aim for a 4-6 hour beach day! Having access to shade 100% of the time is a must. We received ours free as a gift, but a similar one is linked here!
2. Portable Chair – Another item that’s helpful for containment, entertainment, and snacks!
3. Portable play yard – This provides a sand free space we can utilize during unpacking/packing, as well as our super long nap, or whenever else it may be needed!
4. Snuggle Me Organic – This was something we used all the time, and have both the infant and toddler loungers. Also perfect for beach naps, and easy to tote around!
5. Muslin Blanket – A light muslin blanket is perfect for warmer beach days. It also helps provide comfort during those perfect beach naps. This was one of our favorite sets!
6. Sound Machine – To help drowned out the voices of any pesky “too close for comfort” beach neighbors. We’ve used this sound machine since day one in the hospital. Tried and true!
7. Plastic Pool – Load this up with water and baby is able to play for hours while you sunbathe just within reach! Also useful to load up with beach bags and drag to your designated spot!
8. Beach toys – For entertainment throughout the day!
9. Sunscreen – This is the brand we love!
Now throw in some towels, a couple extra chairs, and a cooler packed with food and drinks, and you have yourself the perfect beach day!
