A Summer Beach Day Packing List is a great way to get organized, have kids help and get out the door quickly so you can have more time for fun at the beach!
A beach umbrella is an absolute must! We never head to the beach without it! Here's one beach umbrella that is nice to look at and does the job!
Now when you have young kids- even just one kid- prepping for any kind of trip can be quite the challenging task!
Getting ready for even a day at the beach feels like you're launching the space shuttle!
Our Best Ever Summer Bucket List Printable is a fun activity for kids to do and put all those summer plans in one place! Great for summer and makes a fun keepsake!
Beach Tees - check! The cuter the better! Love these Pet Tees by Ivory Ella!
When my blogging partner (and daughter) was young, we'd have a quick breakfast in an attempt to get out the door and to the beach as quickly as possible.
(These scones were perfect for a quick bite to eat or add to the cooler for a snack at the beach!!)
I would prepare snacks and beverages, swimsuits, towels & toys. My husband would find the cooler, beach chairs, make sure we had gas in the car and gather any other essentials that I typically forgot.
The youngest member would run around in excitement getting underfoot! Usually she'd put together a few books to take for the car ride like this one!
As she got a little older, she would help. We put together a Beach Day Packing List and that made a huge difference!
Putting together a list helped us get organized and out the door in half the time it normally took us!
So, here we are - back in our beach day mode!
We packed up everything we needed and drove to a nearby state park that has a beautiful beach at the edge of a tree-lined lake.
In fact, as we write this we are actually at the beach! The sand is in between our toes, the sounds of water splashing and the warm sun making us drowsy after a little swimming. Perfection!
We left the laptop home and went traditional with a notebook and pencil and put together the perfect Summer Beach Day Packing List to share with you!
(Above) A trip to Martha's Vineyard with our Girl Scout Troop a few years back! Read more about that fun trip and things to see here!
We wrote down all the things we take with us when heading out for some summertime fun, and added in a couple of extras we thought would be good to pack as well!
It's fun to plan and easier to pack and prepare with these printable Packing Lists to help get the job done!
A packing list is not only a great way to get ready more quickly and efficiently, it's also super fun to look back on your Beach Day list post trip and add it to a scrapbook or keep in a time capsule once summer is in the rearview!
It also builds on the excitement and anticipation of visiting the sand and shore while helping to prepare for the fun in the sun ahead!
