Beach Gear List

Print this Beach Gear List

My family makes fun of me because I have a list for everything in my PDA, so here’s the list of what we take to the beach. You’ll need a mule if you pack everything, so just bring what you think you’ll use. Don’t want to carry everything, go to a beach you drive on.

Review my bikini beach details to pick a beach, restaurants, bars. Where to go, what to do and where to stay. So print this list and head to a one of beach stores I use. You may also need a bikini store, if your last years bikini is out of date.

Beach Gear Necessities

Swimsuits for everyone, girls in bikinis, shorts for Dad, unless of course you want to embarrass your kids like I do

Suntan lotion, preferably waterproof, make sure you’ve go the right sun factor for your crew

Lip balm with sunscreen

Wide brimmed hat, ball cap or visor

Beach towels

Bottled water

Beach blanket, big beach towels will also do

Sandals preferred but shoes will do, the sand gets hot walking from the car. You also might want them for a walk on the beach.

Other Beach Gear

Beach umbrella, or you can rent one for a few bucks on most beaches

Beach chairs, or again you can rent them

Clamp on beach chair umbrellas

Book or magazine

Beach bag

Camera and/or camcorder

Binoculars

Boogie Board for kids

Skim Board for kids

Surf Boards

Sex Wax if your going to surf or skim board

Children's beach chairs

Bucket, shovel and other sand castle toys

Frisbee, football, ball gloves and other stuff to play catch with

Kite

Cooler, filling one of these is cheaper than going to a bikini bar

Food, snacks or drinks or stop by a bikini bar for refreshments

Beach Fishing Gear

Help! I don’t fish, if you’ve got some suggestions, send me an email.

Fishing poles

Fishing tackle, my guess is there’s special stuff you need for ocean fishing

Bait –The guys and gals on the beach seem to put other stuff on their hooks.
