BEACH TIPS


1. Spring for a Pop-Up Tent or Shelter
This will make your day that much better.

2. Plan Your Haul
Rolling carts with tough, sand-ready wheels are a smart asset, and some brands, including the popular Wonder Wheeler, feature main compartments made of mesh to allow wet or sandy toys to drain while you walk back to your car.

3. Stock up on Shopping Bags
Plastic shopping bags may be an environmental foe, but they're your friend at the beach, and shoving a handful of them into a pocket of your diaper bag or beach bag will save you in any number of situations.

4. Rethink the Beach Blanket
What's the magic middle ground between bulky beach blankets and a row of individual towels? 

5. Arrive Early
Timing is everything, particularly when it comes to staking out a good spot at a popular beach. 

6. Choose a Spot by the Lifeguard 
It makes it easier for your kids to remember where you are in case you get separated. 

7. Do Sunscreen Right
Use a cream-based sunscreen before hitting the beach, but switch to spray sunscreen for repeated applications to avoid the messy mix of sandy skin and creamy sunscreen. 

8. Plan a Beachy "Treasure Hunt"
When your kids tire of building sandcastles (and they will), try this fun trick.

9. Use Baby Powder to De-Sand  
Rest assured that a liberal sprinkling of baby powder on sandy—but relatively dry—bodies will make getting clean(er) a breeze.

10. Establish a No-Touch Zone
Keep your phone -- in a zip-top bag -- and other must-have items there and knows they'll be safe and dry, and won't get built into the architecture of any sandcastles.

12. Pack Small Lunch Containers
Bringing lots of foods in individual containers means that if one sandwich goes overboard into the sand, all is not lost.

13. Freeze Foods to Save Cooler Space
Don't  worry about ice, and at the end of the day, you better believe that cooler is light as a feather and completely empty.
