Stop carrying your entire house with you onto the beach, and follow Sabrina Garibian’s tips for keeping only the absolute essentials with you. Sabrina details what makes up a perfect beach bag, and its perfect for families with or without children! From the obvious like sunscreen, to the least expected like baby powder, you will get a detailed (however not overwhelming)list of the 8 things you will want to put into your beach bag, and nothing more.

Key Takeaways:

• Water: I pack 8 ounces of water per hour per person heading to the beach. It seems like a lot, but my family tends to dehydrate easily and this ensures we don’t.
• Snacks: We do a combination of salty snacks (pretzels, Goldfish, popcorn), fruit (watermelon, cantaloupe, blueberries), protein (nuts, cheese sticks), and vegetables (red peppers, cucumbers, carrots).
• Hats: I make each of my children wear a hat, and you will often find me sporting my baseball cap at the beach. It’s an easy way to keep the sun safely off your face.
