Who is ready to head to the beach? It’s totally time for fun in the sun, lots of sand, surf and waves crashing. What I love is the thought of hanging lazily on the beach in my chair. What I dislike is the stuff I so often forget.
Packing for the trip is one thing, but there are essentials I just seem to forget without my lists. I am a list person and any form of a list serves as something that puts my mind at ease when getting ready to travel.
It’s not easy packing a family up for a trip to the beach. There is a lot to remember so I created my 24 Beach Bag Essentials With Printable List to make it easier. Lavishly live life out loud and easily pack up for the beach. Make sure to print out my 24 beach bag essential packing list to be organized.
Beach Bag Packing List
Before you head to the beach, before you pack your luggage and before the kids drive you over-the-top with excitement, bookmark this article and PIN the free packing list! Trust me, as a mom, I know how crazy it gets before you go on a vacation.
A trip to the beach is a whole beast of its own. You want to take what you can (if you are driving) and you have to be mildly organized. Ready to pack with super efficiency and maintain sanity?
Often what I forget is easily purchased when we arrive at the beach. However, I do stick with the premises that a well-stocked beach bag is priceless. Keeping this list Pinned is what I suggest. Of course, you can print it too so that it helps. The list is free and, will keep you sane while you pack and the kids run around!
What I love about a packing list is that everything I need is right in front of me, all I have to do is gather everything. The hardest part of packing is often remembering what I need, and a list takes the work out of packing.
A Few Beach Oddities To Consider
Everyone has things they have to take with them sometimes we have to consider what those are. For us, traveling with life-threatening allergies is just one item we have to be prepared for. What is yours?
Our Medical Bag For Severe Food Allergy reactions while traveling
As a mom of a child with severe allergies, I also pack a medical emergency kit. Now, allergies differ but medical kits can be the same on a whole. For instance, we always pack Benadryl, bandages of some sort, gauze, rubbing alcohol pads, cotton swabs and Tylenol.
Beyond this for Where Niko Travel’s allergies and medical conditions we bring along, an Epi-Pen, a phone number to the nearest hospital, and latex-free bandages.
Beach Items You Might Now Put In the Beach Bag
So when it comes time to pack up you have to also pack items for the beach. It’s all great to bring along the pail and shovel stuff, but there are other items that make a beach-bound vacation so much better. Yes, hauling a lot of stuff is not fun, but if you have a house on the beach or a few people to help, it all works out!
I have never been sorry when we pack beach items because we use them all. Sometimes I can’t imagine what we would have done without these. Ready to see what they are?
First, for getting stuff to and from the beach, this beach cart is truly a lifesaver and it is collapsible.
One of my personal faves is a beach table. I mean consider what happens at the beach. You want to put your stuff somewhere and it seems everywhere is sand. For instance, your sun creme, or a beverage. Then you pick up the bottle and you end up with sand all over your bottles and hands! No Thanks! The Beach table folds flat and is the answer to what you need while on the beach!
Beach Blanket That Does Not Keep Sand On It
Again the beach is fun until you are loaded with sand in places you never really wanted it. TO me, if I can make that dry flying sand stay off of us, it is better. Traditional towels are not the answer. What I love and use and pack in my cart are these lovely little sand proof and waterproof beach mats. They fold into this, and that is flat and small, are you getting my theme? When it is open it is actually 56″ x 70″ so a generous size. Buy 2 so you have 2x the capacity for larger families.

So, what things are a priority when you pack a beach bag? There are things we overpack and things we totally forget to pack but my list is going to make you Beach Proof and ready!
The key to a successful trip is always in the planning, being organized and thinking ahead of the storm. Speaking of storms, let us hope your beach going time is beautiful, sunny and perfect as vacations should be! It’s time to hit the road, hit the beach and kerplunk a chair right into the sand. Soak up some rays, and just get back to basics.

I never thought about having a list for going to the beach, but maybe that is because I live by the beach and I can just cycle there and back anytime I want, in just 20 minutes. You have added some important items on your list, I would never leave home without my sunscreen or my beach towel.

It’s summer and pretty much everyone has a planned vacation near the beach. It’s good to have everything that you need especially if you have little ones. It’s not good to leave essentials behind! This list is going to help a lot of people!

The last time I went to the beach, by sandals was stolen from me. So next time, I’ll be bringing with me an extra pair of slippers.
excellent list. ahhh where would we be without waterproof cameras haha. Yes SPF is the most essential.
That list is amazing! Most people forget about the quantity of somethings but you have the perfect spot to write it down! amazing
I’ll have to print this out for my daughter’s vacations this summer. There are a few things on it I wouldn’t have thought to pack and I’m sure they wouldn’t either. It will come in handy I’m sure.

I very much agree that a successful trip is on the cards only when you have a netter planning. These are some important essentials to make a note & thanks for providing a worthy printable to stay organized.
Totally saving this checklist. When You have kids it is so easy to forget stuff when heading to the beach. That way you can make sure that everything you brought to the beach makes it back home!

I always forget to bring a change of clothes with me and end up driving home all damp and sandy. Next time I go to the beach, I’m packing your list!
This list is super helpful – should be shared with everyone in the family so no one forgets that they’re supposed to bring.
Whether I am hitting the beach or just have to go outdoors, I always always have my hat with me. Weather’s gotten bonkers lately & one shouldn’t leave without a hat or a visor.
I’m a list fanatic. This is a good one, though I would add lip balm and remove the meat tenderizer.
I love lists. They really make life so much easier. I never forget things when I have something like that.
