Hat
Swimmies
Cheap beach toys like $1 store incase you forget
Tube to have him sit in water.
Lotion for after the bath
First aide kit
Separate beach bag for the baby's stuff
Collapsible cooler for sippy cups, snacks, etc
Crocs or good water shoes
Umbrella or rent one for the beach
Coloring book and crayons
Wipes


You getting a crib from the hotel? If so then they provide sheets and all so that's good, but of course toiletries for the baby and you. They will also provide towels so I just use the hotels

I like a tube they can put their feet through. This way you don't have to hold them the entire time in the water.
