Gifts Ideas for Organized Family Set-Up.
These practical gifts for beach lovers are to set up the family’s camp for fun in the sun with added protection from the harmful rays and heat of the sun.
First, they will need a beach buggy to toss everything in and roll down to their chosen spot on the shore. Pick one with big wheels that gently roll over the soft sand, like this one, or one of these below.
Add a beach sun canopy or tent for cover to protect the family from the harmful and hot rays of the sun.
Beach lovers will love a comfy beach chair to chill. Or maybe one of these inflatable loungers; they look fun. I am adding one to my Christmas list.
Add a few Turkish Towels (I love these), these handy towel anchor clips, and a sand-free picnic blanket, and they are ready for a relaxing and fun day at the beach.
Most people I know enjoy the ocean, whether it’s boating, surfing, or just lying out on a towel and tanning. But most don’t bring a hammock to the beach because they’re bulky and difficult to transport. But if they find themselves at the beach with nothing to do but watch others enjoy frolicking in the sand and sea, a hammock is just what they need. This Beach Hammock is big enough for two but small enough to fold up into a tiny bag to toss into the beach buggy.
Here are a Few Clever Gifts That They Didn’t Even Know They Needed.
Beach Table for wine and cheese. Who doesn’t need an outdoor wine table? This one even has a wine holder.
Beach cup holder. Here’s a pack of six beach cup holders to keep their ice-cold beverage from tipping over into the sand.
Margarita Cooling Cups for those who love frozen adult beverages in the sun. Me! Me! Me!
But, if you purchase these cups, you may need to purchase them something to make the margaritas.

Gifts for Beach Loving Moms.
Your practical mom friends want to stay comfortable and look cool and stylish simultaneously. These gifts will accomplish this and even more.
Mesh Beach Tote ~ There are many different styles of beach tote. This one is my favorite — spacious with a pocket for flip-flops, a smartphone, three large beach towels, kid’s toys, a book, and a water bottle. But, this one has a bonus cooler included.
Sarong. ~ You know, that cool wrap that can double as a swimsuit cover-up, skirt, or dress. And perfect not only for the beach, but the pool deck, a cruise, lake house, or resort.
Beach Hat or Trucker Cap. ~ To keep their face protected from the sun, and look stylish, too.
Cheeky Personalized Tee Shirts. ~ Beach Please, Sunrise, Sunburn, Sunset, Repeat, or If Crabby, Return To The Beach.
Tumbler with a personalized message. ~ Choose their favorite color from nine color options including ice pink and seafoam green and then choose a personalized message. I love this message, “Eat, Sleep, Beach, Repeat.”
Or this “water bottle” that fits an entire bottle of Champagne and keeps it cold and crisp for hours, as if it won’t be consumed quicker.
😎Cool Shades with UVB protection.😎
These sea glass jewelry pieces are stunning.
Or one of these useful bags for traveling moms.
And You Mustn’t Forget Gifts for Beach Loving Dads.
Dads have to look cool, too. Check out these fun gifts for the dad on your list.
Bluetooth Speakers in all different colors.
Straw Hat or Bucket Hat so your beach-loving dad or bubby can protect his scalp and skin from the harmful rays of the sun, and look cool, too.
Cool polarized Shades with UV Protection. ~ Costa del Mar make comfortable, high-performance shades — the perfect fit for either relaxing under a palm tree sipping margaritas or reeling in a giant fish for dinner. Don’t forget an adjustable retainer so they stay snug, on or off the water.
Extra Large Waterproof Cell Phone Case to take along their tubing or snorkeling adventure, or for swimming. They can use the volume button for underwater pictures for depths less than 40 feet. Use the lanyard, it’ll save their phone when they slip on that slimy rock in the springs and drop the phone in the muck. (That was an expensive day in the springs).
And a dry bag to carry the rest of his stuff.
Flip Flops that are slip-resistant and have good arch support, like THESE.
Underwater camera. ~ This one is not only suited for underwater shooting, but it is dustproof, shock-proof, freezeproof, and crush-proof.
