Beach Bag Booty

Going to the beach?
Then you'll need a bunch of Beach Bag Booty!

We'll help you get your Beach Booty together. The rule of thumb as always is... ~Travel Light~

When packing for a day at the beach always keep in mind the bottom line... When it's all packed you have to be able to pick it up and carry it, sometimes a considerable distance.

Essential Beach Bag Booty

• 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



• Cover-ups or loose light weight shirts



• Wide brimmed hats



• Sunscreen and lip balm with sunscreen



• 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



• Viscose towel. These are soft, compact, light weight and fast drying



• Bottle of drinking water per person



• 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.



• Sunglasses to keep those peepers safe

For beach shoes galore, funky shades and beachy apparel, check out Island Surf. You'll love their selection of tropical gear.

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

Two of our favourite extras are Pop Ups and good old Inflatables. Both provide tons of fun then collapse into a compact package that's easy to transport.

Pop-ups

are 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 don't take up much room.

Extra Beach Bag Booty

• Mask/ Snorkel/ Fins



• Bug spray (depending on the area)



• Inflatable or pop-up playthings



• 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.

• 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.

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.
