What to Pack in Your Beach Bag: Mom Edition

Let’s be honest: packing for the beach with kids is an Olympic sport. Between snacks, swim gear, and the random rock collections that somehow end up in your bag, it’s easy to forget the essentials. Here’s our go-to list to help moms pack a beach bag that’s sun-safe, snack-ready, and meltdown-proof.

🏖 Beach Bag Must-Haves

1. Sun Protection

• Reef-safe sunscreen (SPF 30+)

• UPF hats for you and the kids

• Sunguard Swim rashguards — because we love less sunscreen stress

2. Towels + Extra Suits
A quick-dry towel for everyone and a backup swimsuit for the kid who definitely will want to swim again after you’ve packed up.

3. Snacks (All the Snacks)
Think clean, beach-friendly bites: apple slices, trail mix, pouches, or crackers in reusable containers. Don’t forget extra water!

4. Wet Bag & Wipes
For soggy suits, sandy hands, or when someone finds a dead crab shell. You’ll thank us later.

5. Entertainment
Books, a small shovel and bucket, and a ball. Keep it light and let the tide be the main attraction.

6. Mom Extras
Don’t forget your stuff: a sun hat, lip balm with SPF, a cold drink, and a book you might get to read for 6 minutes.

Whether you're heading to the local cove or road-tripping down the coast, this beach bag checklist is your secret weapon. Sunguard moms know: the best beach days are planned just enough to keep it sunny and stress-free.
