How to Make the Most of Your Beach Time
✔️ Go Early or Late
Avoid peak sun and crowded sands by hitting the beach early in the morning or closer to sunset. The light is beautiful, and the vibe is more relaxed.
✔️ Use a Mesh Bag for Sand Toys
Parents, take note: mesh beach bags shake off sand and keep things dry. Bonus tip—pack a small inflatable kiddie pool to keep toddlers cool and contained right by your chair!
✔️ Frozen Water Bottles = Built-in Ice Packs
Freeze water bottles the night before and use them to chill your cooler. By the afternoon, you’ve got cold drinks ready to go.
