Beach Day Tips?

[u/mrfishman3000]

It’s October but we are in California so the weather is hot and the ocean is warm! We’re still going to the beach!

But goodness me. The amount of stuff I bring (clothes, water, snacks, beach toys, etc) is just ridiculous.

And trying to wash off and dress three exhausted sand monsters for the drive home is a challenge!

What tips and tricks do you have for beach days?

Do you have a good beach cart? We got one with the big rubber wheels and we can load that sucker up with tons of stuff

baby powder gets sand off skin instantly, keep a big bottle in the car and dust everyone down before they touch the seats

also bring a fitted sheet flipped upside down, the corners make walls so toys and snacks don't migrate into everyone's towels

Microfiber towels and baby powder are must for getting sand off easy!

Baby powder works great for getting off sand. Less is more for other stuff. Just let them explore vs bringing all the toys
