Genius Products you NEED for your Next Trip to the Beach
Heading to the beach is the ultimate summer experience . . . but it’s definitely more stressful when kids are involved.
We’ve gathered together some absolutely genius products that will make your next trip to the beach so much easier.
We live near the beach and it is STILL hard to load up the car and get us there. Once I get to the beach I just want to relax . . . at least as much as I can while watching 6 kids.
Stride Rite Phibian “sneaker sandals”
There’s nothing like finding sand in your shoes for a month after you come home from the beach. Younger kids often struggle with flip flips (which, let’s face it, are pretty much the ultimate beach shoe) and their regular sneakers would never be the same after a trip to the beach.
Stride Rite just came out with their new Phibian line and it is genius! These shoes can handle anything. They have lightweight outsoles that grip like a sneaker and breathable, quick-dry uppers like a sandal.
The best part? They are machine washable!
My girls wore these on our last trip to the beach and they made my life so much easier. These come in fun, bright colors so we didn’t lose them in the sand and they were easy to slip on and off.
Bogg Bag
Looking for the perfect beach bag? The Bogg Bag is the perfect combination of functional and stylish. This unique bag is designed to sit on the sand without tipping over and is large enough to hold everything you need. We love that it is completely washable so you can rinse the entire thing out after your day at the beach.
After trying (and ruining) many beach bags over the years, we think the Bogg Bag is definitely the way to go.

Melissa & Doug Sand Ice Cream Set
I’m a big fan of keeping beach toys sweet and simple. I don’t haul a giant bag of toys with me because I know half of them will get lost. Instead, I opt for a few great toys that I know will keep my kids busy for hours. This Melissa & Doug Sand Ice Cream Set is perfect. You can use it for pretend play or more traditional sand play.
Buy a set now so it will be ready for your next trip to the beach.
Beachcomber Portable Beach Mat
A comfy space to lounge is a must at the beach but who wants to carry a bulky chair, especially when you are trying to wrangle kids at the same time. We love this Beachcomber Portable Beach Mat. It folds up nice and small so you can sling it over your shoulder and includes a zippered pouch to store a few of your things.
This is so much easier than carrying a huge chair.

A Water Bottle that Holds all your stuff
Sand gets in everything but I draw the line at getting it in my water bottle. We went on a hunt for a water bottle with a flip top to keep sand out and found something way cooler. The iBottle not only keeps sand out of your water bottle but it has a sealed compartment for your phone and a second one for your keys.
Coming from someone who may or may not have once lost my keys in the sand, that can come in handy.
This is the perfect beach water bottle.
Parachute Beach Blanket
Need a sand-free space? Sand slides right off this parachute beach blanket and gives you a nice spot to chill out on the beach. The corners are weighted to keep it in place so it will stay put. The thin fabric packs into a tiny pouch so you won’t add any bulk to oddly large pile of stuff that is required for a day at the beach.
