Beach Bag Booty

It's Beach Time!

Beach Bag Booty, no beach vacation packing list is complete without it. If you've ever wondered what all those beachy people are carrying in those large beach bags, have a peek.

Beach bag essentials and fun beach time stuff to bring along.

When packing your beach bag for a day at the beach remember that you have to be able to pick it up and carry it, sometimes a considerable distance.

Keep beach time fun and carefree by adding a few easy-to-transport accoutrements to the necessities you pack.

Here's a list that keeps it lightweight while including all of the essentials to ensure a safe and fun day at the beach for you and the kids... or kids at heart.

Essential Beach Bag Booty

• Wide brimmed hat.
• Sunscreen and lip balm with sunscreen.
• Bottle of drinking water per person
• Sunglasses to keep those peepers safe
• Cover-ups or loose light weight shirts
• A sheet makes a better beach blanket than a towel. It's light weight, non bulky, covers a picnic sized area and the sand shakes off of it easily. Sometimes we use a pareo or sarong instead
• Viscose towel. These are soft, compact, light weight and fast drying
• Cash, just a small amount to buy a soda or ice cream or bus fare
• Disposable waterproof/underwater camera
• Small spray bottle of white vinegar. Spray on jellyfish stings to reduce pain. This way you don't have to pee on them.
• Bandana. Use it as a face shade, napkin, strainer, face washer, hat/ head cover, neck cooler (dipped in cool water), bug swatter and then carry your found shells or treasures back home in it.

Often we have a boogie board or beach umbrella tucked under an available arm as well.

Extra Beach Bag Booty

Pop Ups and Inflatables provide tons of fun then collapse into a compact package that's easy to transport.

• Pop-ups - those foldable fabric and wire, toys or structures that automatically pop open when you release them from their confining package, into anything from a frisbee to a cabana.


• Inflatables - A vast array of items are available in the inflatable variety. Beach balls and swim rings will fit easily into a beach bag and provide endless fun. Inflatable boogie boards are more compact than rigid boards.


• Mask/ Snorkel/ Fins
• Bug spray (depending on the area)
• Picnic lunch
• Frisbee
• Folding lightweight beach chairs
• Umbrella or portable pop-up cabana
• Swiss army knife or Leatherman tool

Beach Bag Booty For The Kids

Along with the stuff above take these along for the little'uns.

Notice

Dried fruit rehydrates itself using your body fluids.

Lots of water should be taken with dried fruits to avoid dehydration.

• A pail and shovel
• Beach ball, water wings, other inflatable toys
• Snacks like fresh or dried fruit and trail mix (they travel well and are nutritious) Fresh fruit provides some of their fluid needs
• Portable kid sized tents fold flat and carry light and give the kids somewhere to go to get out of the sun. Wee ones can even have a nap.

Replace fluids constantly throughout the day, maybe mix a little pedialyte into one of the water bottles to help retain some fluid.

Perspiration is the body's natural cooling mechanism sort of like a personal sprinkler system.
Replacing fluids lost through perspiration and voiding ensures that your body has enough fluids to regulate it's temperature.
