I recently went to the beach with Ryder (4 months old). We went to a super popular beach (Siesta Key, Florida) and there was such a variety of parents/preparedness for baby beach days there. It made me think about there isn’t really a right or wrong when it comes to being prepared for the beach, but there are a few necessities. I compiled a list of the things I think are important for a beach day, then gave some recommendations as to different options for some. So without further ado —
Beach Day Must Haves —
- swimsuit (I recommend one with a rash guard or with SPF in it + a hat, too)
- sunscreen (THINKbaby + badger are two of my favorite CLEAN sunscreens)
- swim diaper (if your babe is going in the water)
- shade of some sort (umbrella, slumber pod, stroller, tent, canopy, etc)
- something to sleep on (towel, blanket, any of the above options)
- portable fan (especially if you are coming to Florida in the summer — it gets HOT)
I linked some of my favorites of the above here with links for you!
Any questions about my beach day or recommendations for yours? Let’s chat in the comments!
XO, Hil
