2. Don't let the sun spoil your fun. Remember to pack sunscreen with a high SPF, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses to protect yourself and your guests from harmful rays. When it comes to sun protection, we believe in covering all the bases. In our beach bag, you'll find a range of sunscreens tailored for every need. The convenient spray sunscreen takes care of the general body coverage, while the gentle stick formulation ensures extra protection for the little ones' delicate faces. And for the adults, we've got you covered with a specialized sunscreen designed for sensitive facial skin. With our diverse sunscreen lineup, you can bask in the sun's rays with confidence, knowing you've got the perfect defense against harmful UV rays. 

3. Beach Blankets and Umbrellas:
Create cozy spots to relax and unwind by bringing beach blankets or towels for lounging. Set up a beach umbrella or pop-up tent to provide shade and create a shady oasis for your guests to escape the sun when needed. These are honestly a must buy- add them to your beach "pile". Leave them folded in your car, so they're always on beach stand-by!

We love these ones!

4. Portable Speakers and Music Playlist:
No beach party is complete without some tunes. Bring portable speakers and curate a lively playlist filled with summer hits and crowd-pleasing favorites. Let the music set the mood and get everyone in the party spirit.

Waterproof speakers

4. Cooler with Food:
Keep everyone hydrated and satisfied with a well-stocked cooler. Pack plenty of chilled water, refreshing beverages, and remind everyone to drink! Perfect beach party food ideas are fresh fruit platters bursting with watermelon, pineapple, grapes, and berries. For heartier options, pack beachy sandwiches filled with deli meats, cheeses, and condiments. Don't forget to include light and crispy snacks like chips and veggie sticks with flavorful dips. Salads loaded with seasonal veggies and zesty dressings provide a refreshing and nutritious option.

PSA- we'd stay away from ices and ice cream as those melt easily and are best bought on the beach.

We love the idea of putting this in the beach wagon that you have!

 

5. Beach Toys:
Keep the excitement rolling with a variety of beach games and activities. Bring a frisbee, beach ball, or paddleball set for some friendly competition. Don't forget sandcastle-building tools and a beach volleyball for some sandy entertainment. Encourage your guests to join in the fun and create lasting memories.

WE LOVE THIS ONE BECAUSE OF THE STORAGE BAG!!

 

6. Beach Towels 
Have a few extra towels on hand in case someone forgets theirs or wants to take a dip in the ocean. If your party includes swimming, encourage guests to bring their swimwear and provide a designated area for changing or drying off.

7. Trash Bags and Eco-Friendly Utensils:
Respect the beach and keep it clean by bringing trash bags to collect and properly dispose of any waste. Consider using eco-friendly utensils and plates to minimize the environmental impact of your beach party.
