Summer break is coming to an end, and I swear it gets shorter every year. Winding down into the last few weeks of freedom, I always like to plan a little last-minute trip with my family to soak in the summertime. A trip to the beach is the perfect way to end your summer and a fun memory to create with your kids before they’re back in the classroom. Lucky for you, I have picked some perfect last-minute beach essentials from Amazon for the whole family to enjoy, so let’s dive in!
Hopefully, the sun will be shining away when you take your beach trip. So let’s start with protection; by that, I mean sunscreen! I love Supergoop products for myself and my kids. It glides on so easily and lasts for hours of my kids playing in the sun. I also love these Sport-Bella Chairs for chilling out at the beach and providing the perfect amount of shade.
Mom & Dad might splash in the water a bit and maybe build a sand castle, but you can definitely catch the kids living their best life. This is why I love these sand toys for the little ones. Especially a fan of the girly sand toys option that comes with a little purse to store all the toys; simply adorable. A long day in the sun can ensure some hungry kiddos, which is why I highly recommend this healthy snack box variety pack for long beach days. Another great beach snack is some fresh fruit you can pick up from your local grocery store. This Hydro Flask Tote cooler is perfect for the beach, it always keeps my food nice and cool, and it is easy to carry through the sand.
Beach accessories are a must for us moms. We want them to be cute but very functional. I look for beach bags that are super spacious and cute to wear, like this Large Waterproof Tote Bag. I can fit everything I need in this one bag, including these super soft Cabana Striped Beach Towels.
The perfect beach outfit for mom is casual, comfortable, and cute wrapped into one. I love this black high-waisted bikini; it provides the perfect coverage and is a great dupe for Good American Swim. These Roxy Slides are perfect for the beach, super comfortable, and easy to clean off the sand. For some extra protection from the sun, I love a cute visor such as this Straw Sun Hat Sun Visor. This one is perfect because it has an adjustable strap in the back for optimal comfort. Last but most important is a beach cover-up. I love this black beachwear dress because it is super lightweight and easy to wear. I love to wear black in the summer, and you can read more about how I style a black beach outfit here.
