Don’t tell me you’re going to the beach with your kids without bringing along some of the most useful kids' beach essentials!

The days when I could relax on a sunbed and peacefully read my favorite book are long gone...

Now, as a mom of two five-year-old boys, I always bring specific kids' beach essentials with me. This way, my kids are happy and entertained, and I can finally relax and enjoy the cool sea!

Children’s swimsuits with sun protection filter

Children’s swimsuits with sun protection filter, as well as special hats, are every mom’s lifesaver... 

You avoid the constant refusal and whining every time you need to put sunscreen on your kids, and you let them play while you enjoy your coffee or your book.

But most importantly, you protect your little ones’ delicate skin, both in and out of the water.

For my boys, I have two sets each with long sleeves, as well as matching hats that protect their ears and neck.

Children's beach inflatables

When my little boys were still babies, I bought two swimtrainer life vests, to help them fall in love with the sea, but also to cool them down on hot summer days.

Later, we got inflatable boats, as well as the classic round swim rings. We completed our inflatable set with two pairs of arm floaties!

This year, now that we are older, we bought two large inflatable crocodiles for endless play and dives!

If I could turn back time, what I would definitely get them is an inflatable swim vest... Not to mention, this year I saw a mom at the beach put on her child an inflatable swim vest with built-in arm floaties! How cute!

Children's accessories for little swimmers

My kids have been going to swimming lessons for two years now... So they know how to swim in shallow water... However, they need some essential accessories that they also use at the swimming pool...

A swimming belt with foam blocks is absolutely necessary, so they can feel free and safe in the sea.

They are also used to holding a children's swimming board, which gives them greater safety and stability in their movements.

Finally, each of them has a foam swimming noodle, in blue color for more freedom of movement in the water.

Of course, we also have children's swimming goggles, so they can see the fish, but also dive without their eyes stinging.

Old time classic buckets and shovels

Is it possible to go to the beach with little kids and not have buckets and shovels with you?

I promise you endless hours of play, carefree fun and creativity for the kids, and peace and relaxation for the parents!

Of course, apart from buckets, there are many more children's beach toys for more active kids, such as rackets, boats, trucks, sand mills, and watering cans.

Water Guns

Water guns are the only weapons I allow my boys to play with and I believe they are one of the essential kids' beach essentials for little children at the sea!

But let me tell you a secret... Even I play with them and we splash each other...

Children's beach bathrobes and children's towels

As a classic doting mom, I look for the cutest things for my kids, even for the beach...

Even though I have children's beach towels, my favorites are the children's ponchos...

When they were babies, I had animals, but now they chose superheroes themselves!

I know very well that preparing for holidays with young children causes stress for busy parents... 

So, I have prepared, especially for you, ready-made lists with all the essentials your kids need for the beach...
