list of items to pack for a trip to the beach or pool

It is summertime and that means heat – and a chance to escape from the heat! I live near the ocean which means lots of trips to the beach, but our vacations are spent in a place where pools are the order of the day.

Members to ListPlanIt will find the lists they need to plan outings in Family Matters.  Not yet a member?  Join today and get organized for all things summer.

Here are some of the things you should always remember to pack in your bag:

  • Swimsuits
  • Change of clothes (don’t forget clean undies)
  • Beach towels
  • Sunscreen/lip balm
  • Drinks (preferably water)
  • Picnic lunch (especially if you will be there all day)
  • Flip flops or beach shoes
  • Sunglasses
  • Reading material (magazine, book)
  • Shampoo and soap (in case of nearby showers)
  • Sand/water toys to keep the kids happy

What is one thing that you never forget to pack when off for a swim?
