What to Pack for a Beach Day with Kids (That You’ll Actually Use)
Let’s be real, beach days with kids are equal parts sunshine and sandstorms. You start out with a perfectly packed bag, and by mid-morning, it looks like a sea creature exploded in it.
But after enough beach trips (and forgotten items), we’ve learned what’s actually worth packing, and at the top of our list? The humble hero of summer: the poncho towel.
Here’s what you really need for a kid-friendly beach day:
1. The Poncho Towel (Your Beach MVP)
Forget regular towels that slip off, drag through the sand, and somehow end up half-wet and useless. A kids beach poncho towel is the real game-changer.
Our Taeocti kids beach poncho towels are made from two layers of soft, absorbent organic cotton, meaning they dry your little one fast and keep them cosy in the breeze.
They’re easy to slip over the head, roomy enough for a wriggly kid, and cute enough for all the beach snaps. Whether it’s for drying off, warming up, or running around post-swim, our ponchos do it all.

2. Sun Protection (Because Australia)
Sunscreen, hats, rashies, the essentials for staying sun-safe. Bonus: our ponchos provide extra coverage for little shoulders after a swim.
3. Snacks, Always Snacks
Because five minutes at the beach = instant hunger. Think easy grab-and-go things that won’t melt in five seconds.
4. Water Bottles (Hydration is Key)
They’ll be running, splashing, digging, rolling, keep that water coming!
5. A Big Bag for Sandy Everything
A roomy, lightweight tote is a must. And if it’s got a pocket for sunscreen, even better. We’re loving the croc style totes right now, we’ve even seen some that would match the same poncho colours we’ve got! Got to love those matchy matchy vibes.
6. No Need to Change — Just Wear the Poncho Home
One of the best things about our kids beach poncho towels? They double as a post-beach outfit. Once the swimming’s done, your little one can slip on their poncho, dry off, and head home without the hassle of a full outfit change, plus that’s one less thing to carry. And also they’ll most likely fall asleep all snuggly in the back seat with them on.
So, What’s the Takeaway?
Don’t overpack. Don’t stress. And whatever you do, don’t forget the poncho.
Made for salty skin, post-swim snuggles, and running freely through the sand, our kids beach poncho towels are the beach-day essential you’ll never leave behind again.
