How to Pack a Bag for Any Occasion in Myrtle Beach

If you go by the theory that one should always be prepared, this is the post for you. It’s about beach bags, and what should go in them. We’re talking about any occasion.

The seasoned and prepared traveler will have it in the bag.

Here are the top 10 lists for common occasions you might find yourself on the Grand Strand. It’s the little things that count. And not only because it’s hard to get big things in a beach bag.

What to Pack In the Family Bag

It seems the smaller the kids you have, the bigger the list of things to bring for them can be. Although you’re not going to fit a bouncy seat in a beach bag, there are other things to consider.

☑️ Sunscreen — broad-spectrum protection, SPF 30 or higher

☑️ Sun-proof outerwear — extended coverage, flip-up sun collars

☑️ Healthy snacks in containers — nuts and fruits, nut butter with apples

☑️ Footwear — beach shoes, flip flops, sandals

☑️ Lip balm — with humectants and emollients for moisturizing

☑️ Talc — it works wonders for removing sand, especially on kids

☑️ Insulated water bottles — reduce plastics, save money

☑️ Beach towels — absorbent, comfortable, not too thick 

☑️ First-aid kit — premade or homemade

☑️ Beach toys — simple and sturdy, bucket, shovel, block builders
