My Beach Bag Must-Haves

We’ve got a beach trip coming up later this week, so my brain is in full packing mode! It’ll be our first time taking Liam to the beach as an active baby (we took him at about 7 weeks, but he slept under an umbrella the whole time), so there will be lots of baby gear and not much use for these items for me. BUT, if/when I find myself on a beach trip without a baby, these are the things that I make sure to throw in my bag.

I love an open swimsuit cover up like this for easily throwing on. It’s nice to have something to shade my skin a little from the sun without getting too hot! I don’t always wear a hat, but if I know I’ll be in the sun for hours on end, I try to grab one. Even with plenty of SPF on my skin, I like the added protection of a hat, like this. I always pack my Truffle clutch to hold my cards, keys, and any other small things I want separate. I’m a huge fan of all things Truffle!

A few of my favorite SPF products are this chapstick (I apply regularly), this sunscreen (doesn’t break out my face!), and this powder as a top layer. I usually wear some form of foundation with SPF in it, too, just to really cover my bases!

While my relaxing beach/pool days may be less frequent these days, I can’t wait to see Liam playing on the beach!

    I’d love any beach packing lists/tips for when you’re at the beach with Liam! We have a trip planned for the end of June and I’m already stressing about it!
