You won’t want to forget these items when visiting a beach hotel with the kids
Bkids Sunscreen – This is our favorite sunscreen to use on the kids. They now have a new spray option.
Beach Toys – My son could happily play in the sand for hours with his beach toys.
Beach Tent – Getting a beach tent was a game changer for us. Having some shade and a non-sandy place to eat lunch is great.
Aqua Socks/Water Shoes – These aqua socks are great for running around the beach on going on water slides.
Puddle Jumper Floaties – We had these for both of our kids and we loved them. It gave them some independence in the water, but kept them safe.
