Next time you take a trip to the beach you can use this checklist to make sure you have all of these items to create a fun getaway:
- Towels, blankets & beach chairs
- Beach bag with room for all of your stuff
- A plastic bag for wet towels, bathing suits and clothes
- Change of clothing for everyone, especially children
- Sunscreen & SPF lip balm
- Hats and Sunglasses
- Aloe Vera for sunburns and after sun lotion for cooling off hot skin
- Bug spray (if you are going to a spot with still waters nearby)
- Lots of Bottled Water (put in the freezer the night before to freeze and then have them thaw throughout the day), juices and sports drinks to stay hydrated
- A disposable or Digital Camera (with its charger)
- Cooler with icepacks for your drinks and food
- Snacks and food…check out our list of beach friendly foods
- Toys like water guns, buckets and shovels that can be used to play in the water
- Books, magazines, ipod or music player, and other things to keep the family amused
- First Aid Kit
- If it is just a couple of people heading out to swim, surf or play in the water then you may consider a waterproof container to keep your valuables that you may not want to leave unattended on the beach, such as wallet, keys, etc.
