When heading to the lake for the weekend, to the pool for the day, or on a warm weather vacation, bringing along the right “equipment” to make your day, weekend, or week away easier on you and your family is KEY! My husband packs in 5 minutes to go away, while I have been preparing for what feels like weeks for these kind of outings, and then wonders where all of this great stuff came from… who feels me?
We have rounded up the best lake, pool, and beach friendly items for you right here on the blog. Being prepared takes the stress and mess out of time away from home so that you can sit back and enjoy that cocktail (or2!)!
1 // Never be stuck with out a way to chill your wine and other spirits, this 3 Bottle Insulated Wine Tote Cooler Bag comes with a corkscrew and shoulder strap for east portability.
2 // Fill the “FlasKap” full of 9 oz of your favorite poison and pair it with your favorite tumbler. Simply push the button to release 1oz.at a time of the good stuff, did someone say boat drinks? Genius.
3 // Pool, beach, and lake friendly Birks are a must have item. Wear them during the day and then later to dinner, they do the job and look cute doing it. Plus, they float!
4 // The SCOUT Original Deano Extra Large Lightweight Tote Bag holds all of your daily essentials and folds down to the size of a grocery bag for easy packing. This baby fits all the towels, swim toys, sunscreen and other items that you need for an entire day and is water resistant and easy to clean. This is a fabulous bag to have especially with small kiddos.
5 // This 4pc waterproof reusuable wet bags are key for the ride home after a day or weekend away. Wet swimsuits and the like stay separated form other clothing items and can be thrown right in the washer.
6 // This 3 Pack of foldable bags are great for carrying beach toys, water sports gear, food and more. They fold down easily for packing and daily storage. These are a great way to divide up items for kids to avoid the fighting!
7 // This 2 pack of round 6 compartment appetizer trays are a great way to store snacks and are easy to store in a cooler.
8 // Everyone needs a thermal tumbler, this 6 pack is perfect for families or for adult only weekends.
9 // Th9s hook and ring game is SO addicting! My neighbor has us play for fireball shots. Sub the fireball with candy and boom, this is kid friendly. Trust me, this game sucks you in for hours and is small enough to be portable.
10 // The Neoprene Brach Bag is my #1 recommendation for a persona pool bag. They are water resistant, washable, and can double as a purse. These have been a huge hit over the past year because they are so practical.
11 // Sick of waiting for your towel to dry? These microfiber quick drying beach towels are super absorbent, dry quickly, and roll up for easy transport.
12 // Rule #1, cover your face. I love this wide brim roll-up straw sun hat visor because it protects your skin, rolls up for easy packing, and looks adorable on!
13 // Mark your cups and avoid the “that was not my drink” argument among the kids/ know who’s cocktail is who’s. Again, genius.
14 // I just purchased this 11.25qt Cooler from Target. It reminds me of a Yeti cooler at a fraction of the price. The quality is awesome and the removable tray is perfect for storing snacks, a total summer essential.
15 // If you hate sand (my hand is raised), this is an absolute must. This sand proof beach blanket is 9*10 feet in size and folds up to the size of a book. This is a great way to be in the sand without having to be in the sand, who is with me?
16 // I am obsessed with this floating recliner, why did no one think of this before now? This allows you to float without being smack dab on your back or stomach thus enabling you to actually converse and be able to walk the next day. Plus, there is a drink holder so this is a clear necessity.
