1. Shade sanctuary<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Set up a pop-up tent or parasol as soon as you arrive to create a cool, shaded area for your family. It\u2019s essential for protecting everyone from the sun.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]\n

2. Baby powder magic<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sprinkle baby powder on sandy skin to remove sand easily without irritation. It\u2019s a lifesaver for keeping little ones comfortable.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]\n

3. Nursing Cocoon<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our Nursing Cocoon<\/a> is perfect for discreet breastfeeding at the beach. It not only provides a comfortable and private feeding environment but also acts as a sun barrier to keep your baby shielded from harmful sun rays.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]\n

4. Frozen aloe vera cubes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Freeze aloe vera gel in our Yummy Tray<\/a> the night before your trip. These can soothe any accidental sunburns quickly and effectively.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][nectar_icon icon_family=”linecons” icon_style=”default” icon_color_type=”color_scheme” icon_color=”Extra-Color-1″ icon_padding=”10px” pointer_events=”all” left_position_desktop=”170″ left_position_phone=”125″ icon_linecons=”vc_li vc_li-cloud”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” desktop_text_alignment=”center” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”10px” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”52346″ image_size=”medium_large” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” img_link_target=”_blank” border_radius=”10px” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” img_link=”https:\/\/owego-family.comproduct\/nursing-cocoon-groovy-cactus\/”][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]Client here is feeding her child using our Nursing Cocoon in color Groovy Cactus<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]\n

5. Mesh bags for sand toys
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Pack all sand toys in a mesh bag. The sand will fall out on the way back, keeping your house sand-free.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]\n

6. A brush for sunscreen<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Little ones are not always fans of applying sunscreen. Therefore, use a soft makeup brush to apply your child without tears. Don’t forget to repeat this regularly![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]\n

7. Kid-Friendly snack packs<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Pack a variety of healthy snacks like sliced watermelon and juicy fruits in our Yummy Bags<\/a>, ideal for keeping your toddler hydrated. These reusable silicone bags are leak-free, ensuring that they keep the rest of your beach bag dry and your snacks fresh and sand-free. Once kids are done eating, they can store treasures they find and carry them around, or you can just roll the Yummy Bags up and put them away.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]\n

8. Pre-frozen drinks<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Freeze small bottles of water or juice to bring along as ice packs. They’ll melt throughout the day, providing cold drinks for hydration even if you stay the whole day at the beach.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” desktop_text_alignment=”center” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”52355″ image_size=”portfolio-thumb_large” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” img_link_target=”_blank” border_radius=”10px” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” img_link=”https:\/\/owego-family.comproduct\/yummy-bag-aspen\/”][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]Sarah Cauberghs (@momsarahwithlove on Instagram) using our Yummy Bag in color Aspen<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]\n

9. Baby wading pool\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Bring a small inflatable pool for your baby and toddler to play in. Fill it with ocean water, and you have a safe and confined play area right next to you. You don\u2019t want to bring this with you? Make a little whole in the sand and fill it with water too, it will keep them entertained!<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]\n

10. Lightweight stroller or bolderkar (handcart)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you need to bring a stroller, choose for a lightweight model that won\u2019t bog down in the sandy terrain. Don\u2019t want to carry the stroller with you? A bolderkar (also known as handcart) can also be a great solution, even for your exhausted toddler at the end of the day, and you get to take everything with you easier.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][split_line_heading animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” font_style=”h3″ text_color=”#f44e5b” line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”default” content_alignment=”default” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” link_target=”_self” text_content=”Shop the mentioned products here” text_direction=”default”][\/split_line_heading][nectar_woo_products product_type=”all” category=”nursing-cocoon,yummy-bag,yummy-tray” columns=”dynamic” flickity_mobile_column_width=”50%” orderby=”rand” order=”DESC” pagination=”1″ carousel=”1″ script=”flickity” flickity_wrap=”wrap” flickity_overflow=”hidden” flickity_controls=”bottom-pagination” flickity_group_cells=”default” flickity_item_animation=”none” per_page=”20″][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]\n

Always clean up your area before leaving. Encourage children to help gather items, teaching them the importance of leaving nature better than they found them. You can bring an extra plastic bag so you can carry trash all the way to the seaside where you will easily find where to throw it away.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]\n

With these beach essential hacks, your day at the beach can be filled with fun instead of frustration. Remember, the best trips are those that are well-prepared, especially when little ones are involved. Enjoy your sun-drenched day out with peace of mind!<\/p>\n

Lots of love,<\/p>\n
