Emmaleighs Favorite Beach Things
It is almost officially summer! We have already been to the beach a few times but need to refresh some of our beachy stuff. The kids love the beach and Emmaleigh especially loves to pick out bathing suits, toys, and all the goodies before we go.
Here is a roundup of her favorite beachy things this year.
Bathing Suits. A good fitting bathing suit is a must! Em loves to run around and she plays rough at the beach, alot of swimming and jumping around, so her bathing suit has to fit good.

A good pair of sunglasses. Emmaleigh has a decent collection of sunglasses and she is always getting more. These are a few she has that she wears more than other.

Smelling good sunscreen. Of course sunscreen is mainly used to keep her skin safe from the sun but she likes hers to smell good. She loves to smell like summer.
Googles. There are so many creatures out there in the great big ocean and the best way to see them is with a good pair of goggles. I used to just grab her a bunch of pairs from dollar stores because they would get left behind often but she has grown into taking care of the ones she has and likes to have a good pair that fits well and works as supposed to.
Beach toys. Even if we are just heading out for a little while we always have a bag full of toys ready to go. Along with basic toys are floaties or different sizes and shapes for each of the kids. They can get a little cumbersome so we tend to switch them out with each beach trip.
Big blankets. We used to take extra large beach towels to the beach, or grab whatever sheets were in the closet but I found an Indian Tapestry on Amazon and that's about all we use now. Easy to store, easy to shake sand off, and can be used to sit on and to dry off with.

What is on your favorite beach product?
I love the sunglasses and, as a Florida native, I'm happy to see sunblock on that list!
ReplyDeleteThose are some beach going essentials. I pack them as well.
ReplyDeleteAll the essentials! I am obsessed with SPF! I feel like my kids are the palest beach bums ever!
ReplyDeleteI never go to the beach without a sunscreen protection. Sometimes, I do make over-acting protection for my son.
ReplyDeleteI love the beach but have not been in years. I miss it a lot.
ReplyDeleteOoooo nothing better than spending time pool and beach side during the summer. The perfect shades are a must have!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're all set! I LOVE that round beach towel! Too cute!!!
ReplyDeleteCan I say I love everything?! those blankets are very chic and stylish! I use Coppertone like a maniac! my kids always manage to lose their goggles every summer somehow :-/
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list! I take all of these same things to the beach/pool with me when I go too :)
ReplyDeleteWhat some awesome beach essentials I have to admit I so wish I lived nearer a beach so I could enjoy days there more. x
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of using the tapestry on the beach. It's a better surface area anyhow!
ReplyDeleteI loved that indian tapestry, it seems quite easy to use! I'm gonna get some now :)
ReplyDeleteAll of them are pretty cool stuff to have on a beach trip. Sunblock is the first thing that goes in our travel bag! You're right when you said bathing suits should fit right. Not snug. Just right.
ReplyDeleteI am heading to the beach next month. I need to remember the sunglasses and sunscreen.
ReplyDeleteI super love picking swimsuits, I have tons of them. Another favorite thing is sunscreen.
ReplyDeleteAdorable swim suits! My girls always get excited for the beach every time we go shopping for new swim suits and sunglasses!
ReplyDeleteNice list! My son never go on a beach trip without his beach toys. I on the other hand, always keep a sunscreen at hand.
ReplyDeleteOne of my son's favorite things is his googles. He will not go to a beach party without it.
ReplyDeleteSPF is essential yes. Cool wears, the sun glasses are awesome
ReplyDeleteThose are all great beach products. My daughters love bringing their goggles. It definitely helps for them too. They love seeing underwater.

Her favorites are my favorites too! Those suits are so cute.
ReplyDeleteToys make the beach way more fun. My son's about to outgrow that age so I'm enjoying those last moments while I can.
ReplyDeleteI had my favorite beach things too. I never go to the beach without a nice pair of swim suit and a sunscreen spray.
ReplyDeleteIndian Tapestry on Amazon is perfect! I love the idea of a circular blanket to take to the beach. BTW, we love the ideas presented. Our kids love to take toys with them to the beach.
ReplyDeleteOooohhh these are indeed some of the favorite things that you can have for the beach. I would add some beach towels and umbrella.
