We typically tend to do vacations in warms places and DMC loves the beach, he will play by himself for quite a bit. Popular spots for Seattlelites include; Hawaii, Cabo San Lucas, Arizona, and California. With the exception to Hawaii, most of the flights are 2 hours.
So thinking back on our beach vacations, here are some of the items that I always bring;
DMC his own beach towel
Sun Smarties beach gear (clothing and hats are SPF50 and washable)
- Hat
- Swim Shirt
- Swim trunks
Babiators Toddler Sunglasses (100% UV protected, flexible frames, warranty for year, over 10 colors, and perfect fit for toddlers)
Toys
Collapse A Pail Sand Bucket
Beach Tent (I was able to pack this in my suitcase for Europe)
Kids Insulated Lunch Box and Ice Pack (depending on how remote your beach is, there may not be a food stand or restaurant)
* Target has a good selection
Frogg Togg Chilly Pad
This sounds like a great item, basically a towel that stays cool for you. We will be trying this out for upcoming beach vacations
Don't Forget Sunscreen! Resorts and stores on the beach sell sunscreen for about 50% more than the store and you may not find the organic baby sunscreen you are looking for
