10 tips for a day at the beach with children

1. Choose a family friendly beach

When going to the beach with children, opt for beaches with family-friendly services and amenities, such as playgrounds, toilets, showers, and possibly umbrellas and sun loungers. A child-friendly environment will make sure everyone enjoys themselves to the fullest.

2. Solar protection

Sun protection is essential for children, but also for adults. Make sure you bring a sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF 50) and apply it generously to your kids' skin every 2 hours. Don't forget to protect their eyes with sunglasses and use hats or caps to shield their faces from the sun.
