Below is a picture of my thirteen year old daughter, Katie and my 9 year old daughter Hailey. They grew up going to the beach and have no other favorite place. Through the years of taking them and my 15 year old son I have learned many tips and tricks to make life easier for everyone involved!
Tip: Let your kids know what food you are bringing to the beach before you get there. Through the years, I have had many a meltdown or a tween/teen attitude over not wanting what I made for lunch at the beach. If you are going with sandwiches, have them tell you what they want, if you are doing easy peanut butter and jelly make sure they know. Having them be part of packing (lets be real....maybe not fully helping with the packing) by at least discussing what lunch and snacks you are bringing, will prevent any "surprises" for them at the beach.
