Sandbridge Packing Guide: Summer Vacation Edition

With miles of sandy beaches, exciting attractions, and plenty of activities for kids of all ages, it’s no wonder why so many families spend their summer in this beautiful coastal city! Before you hit the road, it’s important to ensure you’ve packed everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable trip. In our Virginia Beach summer vacation packing guide for families, we’ll cover the essentials you’ll need to make the most of your time in this stunning beachfront paradise!

•Sunscreen

The Virginia Beach sun can be intense in peak season, so you’ll want to protect your family’s skin from harmful UV rays. Choose a high-SPF sunscreen and apply it liberally and frequently throughout the day. Don’t forget to bring hats, sunglasses, and protective clothing to help shield you from the sun’s rays. You don’t want to dampen your vacation with a gnarly sunburn! 

•  Beach Gear

Beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, toys, and umbrellas are all essential items for a day spent lounging on the sand. Don’t have any or don’t feel like packing it? Feel free to lighten your load by renting gear when you get here! 

If you plan on swimming in the ocean, it’s nice to have a pair of water shoes just in case! Love looking for seashells? A sand scooper/shell sifter is a handy tool that makes it easy to look for shells. Want to bring some home? A mesh bag is the perfect place to store them and it also makes them easy to rinse off! 

•  A Portable Speaker or Headphones 

Nothing makes a beach day or relaxing at your rental better than listening to your favorite tunes! Packing a small portable speaker or some headphones is always a good idea. Just remember to please be courteous to the families around you.
