– Disposable swim diapers. If you will be having toddlers with you, then this is one essential you should not forget. This is preferred by a lot of mothers. They want it more than the other types—cloth, regular and the reusable ones.
– Beach Umbrella. Regardless of how much sunblock you apply or how many SPF clothing you wear, the best protection is still an umbrella. This is one level of protection that you will need to have. Also, it would be better if your umbrella will have SPF too.
– Beach chair. This is perfect in the event that your child would want to rest and cool down for a while. Of course, you will not forget to bring one for yourself but you should not forget your children’s too. Pair this with the umbrella and a relaxing drink and you guys are all set! Opt for one that is lightweight and easy to carry. You will surely find a foldable type for your little one.
– Sand proof blanket. When you are on a beach, it may seem like there are sand almost everywhere. If it’s time to go home and you need to shake off sand, then this is the perfect thing to use. For a cheaper alternative, you can opt for a bamboo mat.
– Water/ Sand shoes. Although it is quite fun to walk barefoot in the sand, there are times when it becomes too hot for your child’s little feet to handle. Plus, the grainy texture of the sand will probably hurt his feet. This is why it is best that you are equipped with the proper footwear for your little one.
