A beach day can sometimes feel like the longest day of the year when you are bringing a baby. In our opinion, you can never be over prepared. If it’s your first time bringing a little one to the beach, we have a full list of beach essentials to save the day! There are quite a few beach vacation trips coming up. Between the hot sand and beating down sun in the late afternoon, it’s a recipe for a disaster of a hot day. There’s always the option to take trips to the water to cool down. But we have a list of items that will make that day not just enjoyable for you and your baby but provide relief from the steaming sun.
Sun Protection
Firstly, this is the most important category to shop for baby beach gear. Whether you are going to a beach or are on a vacation, we have found that transportable items are the easiest. Sun protection is going to come in various forms and these new things are all important. First and foremost, sunscreen is a given. Your baby’s sensitive skin is the top priority to take care of. The sun’s harmful uv rays are quite brutal. We found an option that is a squeeze tube with a stamping top so it’s soft to use on your baby and easy to spread.
Next is more of a shade option to add on top of sunscreen. This can come in the form of long sleeve swimwear, which is great because they also have options for older kids if you have toddlers. Sun shade can also be a baby sun hat and baby sunglasses. We found options that will stay on, too! Furthermore, the most important thing is constant shade. For instance, a beach umbrella or one of those baby shade tents that are also amazing for diaper changes and nap time.
Snacking
Secondly, snack time is something we cannot forget about! It’s so hot out and we love to have a play space where we can relax and have a snack. Portable bottles for milk are always an essential we keep in our bags. But beyond that, we love the options to make our own popsicles! If you have older babies that are eating real food, put frozen berries in these products to have a a nice cool snack for them. But if you have a little baby that might even be teething, freezing breast milk or formula in fillable teething ring products is also a fantastic option.
Accessories
Finally, this is a really fun category to shop for because the sky is the limit here! You can get a baby beach chair to act as a high chair or provide general seating to give your arms a break. A portable fan is something that is small enough to keep in your beach bag and great for on the go all day long. Another good idea is beach toys. Even if they are too little to play with sand, they can still hold the toys and keep entertained this way.
