One of the best pieces of advice someone ever gave me before my 1st trip to the beach with a baby was to bring a small inflatable pool. Who would’ve thought one of the handiest things at the beach is an inflatable pool? With a small inflatable pool, even your younger kids who may not be able to go in the ocean can still play in water at the beach and the preschoolers love it too especially on those days when the ocean is icy cold as ocean water sitting in a mini pool will warm quickly! Also, when you are ready to leave, a small inflatable pool makes washing the sand off the kiddos and beach toys so much easier. For more information, click here. Price: $13
