We've all been there. You've finally reached your family vacation destination only to find out that you forgot something really important such as your swimsuit, sunglasses, or prescription swim goggles. Maybe you packed too quickly, or you didn't plan ahead. Although there are few things better in life than a great family vacation, those vacations run so much more smoothly when you are well prepared and take your time to pack.

Our easy-to-follow guide will help provide you with a simple way to get ready for your next family beach vacation. These are some great tips to at least get the process going and ensure you don't forget anything on future trips.

Family Beach Vacation Necessities

Clothing is usually the first thing we think about we are preparing to pack for a trip. If you are traveling with kids, it is really important that you take your time planning out exactly what kinds of clothes you will need. Most families have experienced the hassle of needing to go literally buy more clothes because someone forgot an important item of clothing. Here are the recommended basics to keep in mind:

• Bathing suits
• Casual beach clothes
• PJs
• Nice clothes for going out
• Underwear
• Back up underwear for littles

It is important to remember to pack extra outfits for very small children or anyone who has issues with spills, or accidents.

Beach Vacation Extras

Beach accessories differ when it comes to swimming accessories in a few ways. Beach accessories will be the items you need to make your time on the beach comfortable. Not every minute will be spent in the water. In fact, most families spend most of their time actually on the beach rather than in the water anyway. You can really enhance this time by making sure you have great beach accessories. Here are some ideas for items you might want to consider taking with you:

• Umbrella or canopy
• Beach towels
• Cooler
• Drinks
• Snacks
• Toys for Children

Beach Vacation Swim Accessories

A beach trip is not complete without your swim accessories. You can really run into some extra expenses if you wind up at the beach without all of the swim accessories you need for a fun time in the water. You will definitely need to buy these accessories new if you forget to pack them before you head out:

• Bathing Suits
• Floatation Device
• Non-Prescription Swim Goggles
• Prescription Swim Goggles
• Safety Floatation Devices

Beach Vacation Safety

You want to make sure your family stays safe and healthy during your time at the beach. Without the proper healthy and safety items along for the trip you might wind up with some health issues on your hands. Some dangers at the beach can include sunburn, jellyfish stings, cut or scraped feet, and more.

When you are packing, you should also be sure to include all medical prescriptions that your family will need for the duration of the trip.

Heath and safety items include:

• Sunscreen
• Over-the-counter medications (headache, stomach, allergies, etc.)
• Aloe or sunburn cream to treat sunburns that could happen
• Prescription medications
• Prescription glasses, sunglasses, goggles

Prescription Swim Goggles

For those who require prescription glasses or contacts in order to see clearly, swimming can present a challenge. The last thing you want to do is miss out on special memories spent with your family, and without clear vision it can be difficult.

Luckily, Goggles N More supplies prescription swim goggles for all ages. Made with your specific RX from the eye doctor, you and your family will be thankful that they can see during the next beach vacation, snorkeling adventure, or even pool party!
