3. Beach Activities 🏖️

Don’t forget the classics like a bucket and spade for building the ultimate sandcastles this Summer! A bucket is also handy for collecting all those shells and other beach treasures in. We love this Foldable, Silicone Bucket from Liewood. The foldable feature makes it easy to both store away at home and transport on travels.

A beach ball or frisbee is great for a game of football or volleyball on the beach. If it’s a dry day with a breeze, why not try flying a kite or even a game of bat and ball with your little one? A great way to build skills like hand-eye coordination plus it keeps the active!

We love this Bat and Ball set by Sunny Life. Comes with a handy zipper case so it is easily transported from home to beach!

4. Snacks! 🍦

Snacks are essential with all the running around and splashing in the sea. The little ones are going to build up an appetite quickly so the more snacks, the better! Why not pack a picnic or take a stroll to get an ice cream? 

5. UPF +50UV protective swimwear 👙

For ultimate protection from the sun, try UPF +50UV protection swimwear. This pink floral UV suit from newbie is not only cute but has UPF +50UV protection and protection from UVA+UVB.

There's nothing quite like the sound of the waves crashing onto the shore and the feeling of sand between your toes.
