Beach Bag Essentials
I am a beach person to my core. I grew up near the water where my family would spend entire days. In my early 20s living in California was the best life ever. Playing volley ball with friends, biking down the marina, driving up and down the PCH and working and living 10 min from the beach was the life for me. I may live in the mountains now but near the water is my preference.
Fortunately (or rather strategically) I married a beach human, so it was inevitable that we would live life traveling to the beaches.
Throughout the years, I have perfected how we pack for a day (or day) at the beach. Here’s what we love to pack our beach bag with!
When it comes to packing food, I avoid disposable bags and wraps at the beach because of the high likelihood of them blowing away, food getting soggy and it can be messy. Instead, I like reusable stainless steal containers or ceramic containers. As much as I like buying the snack like chips and cookies. We often pack whatever fits our macros that way we don’t just indulge in junk food.
I pack 4 individual containers of cut-up fruit and veggies with humus instead of one bigger one so that there’s less likelihood of the whole batch getting sandy.

premium food-grade silicone lid. While using, suction the lid on the bottom of the cup – it won’t get lost in the mix, but it also doubles as a non-slip surface.
Tent In Style At The Beach
The tent provides more shade than an umbrella and is less likely to blow away. Because it’s open at the bottom and sides, the breeze can still pass through.
Premium Tents are Made with the finest quality materials and attention to detail, ensuring they are as beautiful as they are practical. Enjoy 6′ of shade for the whole family when open & then pack down into a matching carry bag to transport to and from the beach with ease.
