Beach Gear

I know I'm thinking ahead here but last year was my first summer bringing DD to the beach so I don't own anything that makes things convenient. I wanted to see if there was any beach gear that you love when going to the beach. Is there anything that makes the experience easy? I've noticed there are sand free beach blankets which I thought I would buy, anything else?

Re: Beach Gear

Got a Tommy Bahama cart and beach chairs from Costco last year that we love. Has umbrella and have 4 beach chairs. We use small chairs for the kids that we also use for sport games.
Cooler fits in the cart and have a mesh bag for the kids sand toys. Towels, snacks, water, lots of sunscreen, wipes, and don't forget the baby powder. Puddle jumpers too.
Everything fits in the cart.
Never got a mat for the sand. Boys either sit on their towel or in a chair. The turn into chicken cutlets by the time we leave so we use the baby powder and rinse them off before getting in the car.

Beach Gear

Def some sort of beach cart. We had one like mentioned above but it broke after much use and many years and moving a few times. So this time I think I want to get the beach cart wagon. I feel like that will be easier. I want to get a huge beach bag. I'm looking to order the Huge from the fashion board. I can't remewbr the company. I also want to get a huge balnket good for picnics and beach. Those are my essentials right now
Baby powder is the best to take sand off.
