what’s in my beach bag

what's in my beach bag

Since we are close to the beach I never unpack my beach bag.  But since we are headed to turks and caicos toward the end of the month I have been thinking of what stays behind and what’s coming with … This is a paired down beach bag but all the essentials (:

The Frogglez– simply the best goggles for kids.  They don’t tug at the hair – I wish they made them for adults!

These packable pails come with us on every beach trip!  Though these look to be three for the price of one, just a different brand.

Tuck and I both have thin/easily tangled hair so I use this tangle teezer at home and bring along one for after the beach.  Especially if there’s been any snorkeling.  My hair and snorkeling do not mix well!

baby powder!  Any baby powder will take off sand in a second, but we have honest.

a protective case for the beach.  Would I totally trust it?  no!  But it’s great for catching a few snaps of my kids in the ocean and not being paranoid if it does drop.

Supergoop  everyday sunscreen and lip balm – still our favorite.

swim diapers – I’ve used reusable ones but we had a bad experience with one (thankfully in my parents pool -sorry mom and dad!) so I haven’t tried since.  We now buy these little swimmers and they’ve worked great.

Snacks – I usually pack some goldfish, sneakz (yummy on the go smoothies my kids love with some veggies snuck in there), water, and some fruit.  Hangry is an emotion I try to avoid at all cost with my kids.. and myself!

a good hat (to cover the fact that I probably haven’t done my hair).  mine is (c/0) J.McLaughlin

a big beach bag to fit it all in.  Mine is an old sole society one, but this one looks to be about the same size and similar style.
