Beach Vacation Essentials For Every Family & Their Toddlers

Preparing a beach vacation packing list has to be quite strategic, such as having preventive measures like sunscreen, hats, and SPF swimsuits. Then there are also swimming gears that would keep your petits safe while looking stylish, and not to mention, toys that would entertain them for hours on the beach. Before you set off on your next beach vacation, we have come up with the ultimate beach vacation packing list below to make sure you don’t leave any essentials behind. 

1. Sunscreen For Kids

If you have active kids who love being out and about playing sports or going to the beach, this spray sunscreen is perfect for you.

Ouate’s SPF 50 spray sunscreen offers high-performance protection against UVA and UVB rays, and it’s specifically formulated for the sensitive skin of children from 4 to 11 years old.

We love how this sun mist contains 89% ingredients from natural origin and it’s made free of nanoparticles. It also comes with a healthy dose of skin-nourishing ingredients such as sunflower oil extract to hydrate the skin and block off free radicals. The best part? Your kids will have fun spraying the sunscreen by themselves! We recommend spraying the mist on your petit then rub it into their skin for the best result.

2.  Hats & SPF Swimsuits

With UPF 50+ protection, this one-piece swimsuit from Konges Sløjd is made with 80% recycled polyester and 20% elastane. We love how stretchy and comfortable the fabric is, and the two-tiered ruffle details and V-neck back give your toddler a stylish look at the pool and beach. And don’t forget to pack a sun hat to protect your little one’s eyes from the sun.

3. Bucket Hat

This bucket hat is made with 100% organic cotton and it’s adorned with the cutest embroideries. 

4. Beach Toys 

Don’t forget to pack plenty of beach toys for your little ones! Quut makes some of the best beach toys with durable, recyclable plastic, and we love how multi-functional they are. Use Quut Cuppi as a shovel to scoop out sand and make tracks for rolling the balls, or play catch the ball game. You can stack-and-click them together for easy storage. 

5. Beach Buckets

It’s not a perfect beach day without making some sand castles, and we cannot rave more about Quut’s latest design Bucki. The bucket comes with a matching sieve for your little one to collect, wash and transport sea shells and other small treasures. You can also remove the clickable handle easily for building sandcastles.

6. Floaties

Give your kid a boost of confidence as they learn how to swim with the coolest kids arm floaties from SUNNYLiFE. Arm floaties give your little one more freedom of movement, but do make sure that you’re always within an arm’s reach as they learn how to swim independently.

We also love this Smiley kiddy float that comes with a split design, so it’s easy for your toddler to get in and out. Repair patch is also included in case of punctures.

7. Swimming Cap

How cool is this shark shaped swimming cap? The Australian beach and summer lifestyle brand SUNNYLiFE is known for their stylish beach essentials, and your petit will definitely fall in love with their silicone swim caps. The high-quality silicone is non-toxic and it’s very stretchable, making it easy to tuck your little one’s long hair in, keeping it dry and protected from chlorine.

8. SPF-protected Swim Goggles

If you’re after a pair of swim googles that would put a smile to your kid’s face, you can’t go wrong with this mermaid design from SUNNYLiFE. The anti-fog swimming googles comes with 380 UV-protected lenses, don’t fog easily and are easy to adjust. If mermaid isn’t your petit’s cup of tea, SUNNYLiFE also has other designs such as little monster, dino, unicorn and smiley.

9. Beach Towels

Wrap yourself up with the softest beach towel from Numero74. The waffle double-sided cotton is GOTS certified and it’s absorbent and durable.

If you prefer hooded beach towels, Little Crevette from France also makes the cutest kids beach towel. The hooded towel comes with a little fox muzzle design so you can easily dry your kid’s hair after a swim, and its organic cotton towel is extremely soft and comfortable. 

10. Oversized Beach Bag

Going to the beach requires quite a bit of packing in advance! Since you’re spending the day under the sun, you’re bound to pack everything in tow, including beach toys, sunscreen, sun hat, clothes to change and more. This organic cotton weekend bag from nobodinoz provides plenty of space for you to stuff everything in. It also comes with water repellent lining and it’s perfect for any outdoor activity.
