Hey beachgoer! Are you ready to enjoy the sun while the kids have fun in the sand? Of course, you can't go to the beach without the right equipment. And yes, as a parent, most of the things you bring are for children, but I will also give a few tips for adults (with or without children). In this blog you will find all the must-haves for a day at the beach!

Let's first talk about the most important beach toys. No beach trip with children is complete without a beach set with a bucket, shovel and sand molds. With these sand toys the little ones can build sand castles and have fun playing. And let's face it, building sand castles is one of the best parts of going to the beach! VanZus really has the nicest beach sets for children from brands such as Done by Deer, OYOY, Baby's Only and Nuuroo.

For older children, a floating board and diving goggles come in handy. With a floating board from Konges Slojd, children can learn to swim well while braving the waves. swimming goggles are useful for exploring the underwater world and maybe even diving or snorkeling! It's also nice that the salt water doesn't get into the eyes. Saves a lot of hassle again. VanZus has many nice diving goggles in different colors from o.a Petit Pommes and Konges Slojd. Also a nice tip: the diving set from Konges Slojd with diving goggles, snorkel and flippers in one! You really need to take that set with you on holiday!

What really shouldn't be missed during a beach day? An inflatable beach ball of course! This will keep your children entertained for hours (and secretly you too). With a nice inflatable ball from Petit Pommes or Little Dutch you can skip into the water, you can play football, volleyball or dodgeball with it. It is lightweight, easy to pack and guaranteed to provide hours of fun in the sun.

If the little ones need a break from the sun, a pop-up tent is a practical solution. A beach tent from Konges Slojd or Vanilla Copenhagen provides a shady place to rest and recharge and helps protect children from the sun's harmful UV rays. Wrap them in a nice towel or bath cape from, for example, Jollein, Fabelab, That's Mine or Roommate to dry off and recover.

Another way to rest is to lie comfortably on an air mattress. With an inflatable bed, the children can laze in the sun on the beach or float on the water. Moreover, it is a great way to protect the kids from the hot sand or hard pebbles on a pebble beach.

As promised, here are the real beach essentials for adults (whether you have children or not). Go for a practical beach bag from Nobodinoz to store all your belongings. This bag is large enough for all the necessities for a beach day and has handy compartments. Don't forget your beach towel, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses and possibly a book or headphones.

Another must-have for the beach is a cooler bag. Bring your own chilled drinks and something to eat. This way you don't have to get everything from a beach tent. Moreover, there is nothing better than a cold bottle of water on a hot summer day! This way you stay hydrated and full of energy all day long.

So, that's it! Whether you're building sand castles, playing beach volleyball or just relaxing in the sun, VanZus has plenty of beach toys for kids and handy must-haves for adults to choose from. With the right equipment you are guaranteed a fun and relaxing day at the beach. Don't forget to apply sunscreen from Naïf to yourself and your children and then you'll be ready for a nice day at the beach!
