Hey guys im going camping with some friends on a beach about ten all up we have 2 tents one for chick and one for guys is there anything we need to bring or just some ideas on how to plan this so it goes smoothly

the only plan we have right now is to bring up a boat and go fishing

Answer
Car camping means that everything and the kitchen sink could make the listâafter all, it's the perfect synch between comfort and the outdoors. That said, the trick is to bring enough items that stand in for traditional home-bound amenities while still reinforcing the pleasures of being outdoors. To assure that, bring enough outdoor toys (soccer balls, footballs, Frisbeesâthe list is endless), never let anyone retreat to the mini-van DVD player, and, most important, take a page from the backpacker's philosophy: Leave No Trace; pack out what you pack in, keep the trash far away from the fires, and leave the place the way you found it. Not only is that the environmentally savvy thing to do, but it also bestows the right message to your friends.

And when it comes to foodâplan by meal based on your schedule, then aim for one- or two-pot meals like pancakes or stew, and be sure to pack enough fruit and other snack items to stave off hunger between meals.

Must-haves for the beach with 9 month old?

Tennessee

My baby will be 9 months old when we visit the beach (Florida) in a couple of weeks. Me and my husband are used to the beach since we go once a year but my little boy's never been. What are some must-haves that I'm not thinking of? I've thought about getting a little tent but what else besides diapers, food, and the everyday stuff? It's an 8 hour drive and we're luckily staying in a townhome right on the beach so we'll atleast be within a few feet of our back door.
Oh yeah, and he's not even close to crawling. Just incase that added any details.
Where do you find spf100? The highest I've found is spf 70.

Answer
I bring my 14 month old to the beach at least once a week, so I have this whole thing down packed lol...

~Sunscreen - You do not need anything higher than an 50SPF, not sure if you have ever read into sunscreen but the rating has nothing to do with the protection. I use Banana Boat Kids SPF 50, I apply it every 45 mins - 1hr.
~Sun Hat
~Sand toys
~Swim diapers
~Change of clothes
~Swim shorts
~Swimming shirt (if you want the extra protection)
~Floatie for the water - They make type just for babies, they have little leg holes in them just like a jumperoo, very inexpensive, around $10.
~Baby powder - Not sure if you have heard of the most amazing baby/sand trick ever but....right before leaving the beach, dry baby off and cover their sandy areas with baby powder, wipe the powder off and the sand comes with it!!
~Snacks
~Formula/Breastmilk
~Water

Have fun!
