Who’s ready for some summer fun and sun?! For the best beach trip ever, check out these Beach Hacks, Tips, Tricks, and DIYs for your next beach vacation. Wondering what to bring to the beach? We’ve got a beach checklist just for you, too! Follow some of these crafts, tips, and tricks to make your next day at the beach the most memorable one yet.

Beach Tips and Tricks

Pin to Pinterest

Since we lived in Florida, we have figured out some of these beach hacks for fun in the sun (and sand) just from experience! For all of you who are less experienced with beach hacks, you are definitely going to want to consider these before you take off for the beach on your next vacation.

Did you know there’s one simple ingredient that will easily wipe off sand? Did you ever think to freeze aloe into ice cubes to make sunburns less painful? Are you looking for exactly what to bring to the beach? Have you ever thought about putting a twist on your favorite childhood beverage with an adult Capri Sun?

Try out some of these FREEBIES, Beach Hacks, Tips, Tricks, DIYs, and more to make your summer vacation extra fun for the entire family!

Looking for more inspiration? Check out our Beach Life Hacks! Plus, if you and your family are snackers like mine, you’ll want to save these beach-friendly food recipes: Strawberry Salsa Recipe and Seasoned Oyster Cracker Recipe.

BEACH TRICKS AND TIPS

1.) I would hate to let you forget any of the essentials before you leave for the beach! If you need reminders about what to bring to the beach, grab this FREE Beach Packing List from Frugal Coupon Living.

free-beach-packing-list-printable

2.) Have some fun with your sunscreen! Make your own custom shape with this Sunscreen Tattoo from While I’m Still Young Tumblr.

sunscreen-tattoo-smaller

3.) Tired of straight hair? Sea salt water is the perfect beach hack for effortless, beautiful curls! Make a DIY Sea Salt Spray for Beach Waves from Naturally Curly.

Salt-Spray-Recipe-diy-beach-waves-smaller

4.) Sunburn sucks, and the aftercare can get messy. Solve the “goo” problem by freezing your aloe vera! You can thank me later for the soothing cooling sensation. Get this Aloe Vera Cubes beach hack from The Dumbbelle.

aloe-vera-ice-cubes-smaller

5.) Plot twist: it’s actually incredibly easy to remove sand from your skin. Just make sure you add baby powder to your list of “what to bring to the beach” must-haves! Remove Sand with Baby Powder from I Dream of Clean.

baby-powder-trick-sand-smaller

6.) Sand on the bottom of my cold beverage is a major pet peeve of mine. When you pick it up, the sand falls all over your towel, chair, everywhere! Here’s the solution: make a DIY Drink Holder beach hack from Positively Splendid.

outdoor-drink-holder-diy-smaller

7.) A Kids Beach Pool is a great beach hack to keep the little ones busy while you sit back and relax in the sun. Fill yours with water, toys, or both! It’s also great for a nap from Baton Rough Moms. Get yours HERE.

kids-beach-pool-smaller

8.) Who has time to reapply lip color while they’re at the beach? Not me! Make this fun The Kool-Aid Lip Stain from The Beauty Department for a beautiful lip color that lasts all day.

Kool-Aid-Lip-Stain-smaller

9.) This Ultimate Popsicle Beach Hack uses a cupcake holder from Ziploc to prevent drippy messes when you’re enjoying a sweet treat at the beach.

popsicle-hack-smaller

10.) You don’t need to buy a fancy cover-up to look cute on the beach! Use a scarf to make a DIY Beach Dress for the same look, or recreate this cover-up from Lily Girlfriends they shared in a YouTube Tutorial.

scarf-dress-smaller

11.) Cool off and treat your skin! This Green Tea Face Mist can be chilled for a refreshing beach hack during a hot day at the beach. Green tea is great for your skin, too! If you’re a fan of skincare and health, don’t forget our other Essential Oil Recipes.

green-tea-face-mist-smaller

12.) Looking for activities to keep the kids occupied and stave away boredom? Check out Beach Games from Mom Me.

beach-games-smaller

13.) Figured out what to bring to the beach? Once you have your essentials together, don’t bring them in your favorite tote just for it to get it soaked! You need to make this DIY Duck Tape Beach Bag from Fiskars.

waterproof-duct-tape-bag-smaller

14.) Freshly shaved legs plus salt water are painful, but not anymore with this beach hack! Shave and layer with Baby Oil from Munchkin and Military.

avoid-skin-irritation-in-salt-water-smaller

15.) You can never have enough pockets, and now your beach towel can have them too! Try this Simple Beach Hack Towel Tutorial from Making it with Danielle.

beach-towel-pockets-smaller

16.) Organize your ride to the beach! I’m loving these Car Organizational Tips from The Castro Family.

organize-car-smaller-smaller

17.) Here’s a fun alternative to regular old ice packs. Fill water balloons and use them to cool food in the cooler from Brit Co. The kids will have tons of laughs with them later!

water-balloon-cooler-smaller

18.) Reuse Coffee Mate Containers to make these beach hack Snack Bottles from Mrs Happy Homemade. No one goes hungry, and you’re doing the planet a favor, too!

coffee-mate-snacks-smaller

19.) Yes, you can have ice cream at the beach without it melting with Ice Cream in a Bag! You can safely keep ice cream in your cooler with this beach hack, or make it at the beach! Idea from Growing a Jeweled Rose.

ice-cream-bag-smaller

20.) You know your kids love Capri Suns, but just wait for this adult version. Make these Adult Capri Suns with this recipe from She Knows. Cheers!

adult-capri-sun-smaller

21.) This beach hack is a beautiful way to style your hair and looks effortless, too. Try this Beach Hair Scarf Tutorial from Hair Romance.

beach-scarf-smaller

22.) Have everything you need in one place! Make your own Beach Vacation Kit from The Tip Toe Fairy. I’d definitely include these essential oils including Carrot Oil (for sunscreen) and Citronella (for bug protection).

beach-kit-smaller

23.) All you need is a hole in the sand and some towels to create this beach hack nap spot for babies (or adults) from Kelly’s Korner Blog. A kiddie pool with towels also works great.

sand-hole-nap-smaller

24.) This one’s great for all the kids (and adults) that love snacks! Take finger snacks to the beach. We love to sort ours into compartments and use a toothpick (or plastic fork) for picking-up (shop here). Idea from The Creative Food.

snacks-beach-smaller

25.) There’s no need to buy a bunch of beach toys when you can make your own! Idea on Sandy Toes and Popsicles.

sand-castle-kit-smaller

26.) Protect your cash at the beach. You can make a money holder using a medicine bottle with this easy beach hack! This DIY Medicine Bottle Cash Holder comes from Inspiration Realisation.

medicine-money-holder-beach-hack-Collage-smaller

27.) Looking for an even more discreet money holder? This Chapstick or Marker Money Stash is the solution for you. This DIY comes from Instructables.

chapstick-marker-money-smaller

28.) This DIY Cork Key Chain allows your keys to float, and it’s especially useful for boaters. This beach hack will save you from a lot of trouble later on! Idea on Green Moxie.

beach-tent-diy-smaller

33.) These are amazing for keeping your kids safe on the beach. Try these Waterproof Safety Tats for easy ID, in case something should happen!

safetytat-girl-better-smaller

34.) More space for goodies = more fun on the sand! Create an Oversized Beach Bag from I Heart Naptime.

waterproof-beach-bag-smaller

35.)  Did you know you can make casts of handprints and footprints with sand? Make a Sand Hand or Footprint Cast from Crafting a Green World.

sand-handprint-smaller

36.) Easily make a beach pool so kids can still enjoy the water on days where there are rough waves or strong tides. Idea from In Lieu of Preschool.

beach-pool-smaller

37.) This works best at a public beach that is not too crowded. Store your beach toys in a large Rubbermaid container. When you get to the beach, remove the toys and fill a large plastic bin with water at the closest shower. Keep the bin filled while you play during the day. The water will warm up in the sun. When you are ready to go, grab a bar of soap and bathe the kids in your Rubbermaid container. Fill back up with toys and drive home. This is great for getting the kids clean before they climb back into your car!

rubbermaid-container-smaller

38.) A Mesh Basket for Beach Toys also works great for preventing mess. This shakes the sand off immediately to keep the bag and your toys sand-free. Idea from the Idea Room. Grab yours HERE.

mesh-basket-sand-bag-smaller

39.) Take the beach home with you! The kids will love this Sand Play Dough Tutorial beach hack from Mama Papa Bubba.

sand-play-doh-smaller

40.) If your family is anything like mine, you leave the beach with more shells than you know what to do with. Instead of letting them sit around, try this Melted Shell Crayon Art from Artful Parent.

50 Moving Tips and Hacks

As someone who has moved four times in five years, I have tried it all! Here are fifty of the latest and greatest moving hacks to make your transition an easy one.

1,. Make sure you write the room AND the contents on the exterior of the box.

2.  Assign one or two people in the know to give out directions. These are the folks that are directing traffic and making sure boxes go where they are intended.

3. Invest in a secure lock box that you can place all valuables like jewelry and heirlooms. Keep this with you or put away during the move.

4. Make a bag or box of must have items for moving day that is easily identifiable. A clear plastic box works great. This can contain all those things you must have on a regular basis and can’t afford to lose. This is your “Essentials Box!”

5. Use clothing to wrap up and pad your breakables. It cuts down on packing space.

color-collage-moving

Color Code Your Boxes – Examples Hip2Save and Musings SAHM

6.  When you pack your boxes, use different colors of duct tape to help identify where it goes. (red tape for the master bedroom,black for the bathroom, etc)

7. Clean and scrub the new residence before you ever begin your move. The last thing you will feel like doing after moving is scrubbing the toilet.

8.  Invest in renting a moving van or truck. Though you save a few bucks using your buddies, you don’t want to be the one to cause damage. Just pay the cash and move it all in one shot.

9. Shoot pictures of your electronics with a digital camera to be sure you hook them up quickly at the new residence.

10. Be packed and ready on moving day. Don’t leave things for the last minute when people show up.

kitchen-plate-silverware-Collage-moving

Use Styrofoam Plates Between Breakable Plates and Saran Wrap Utensilis in Trays – Examples from The Frugal Girls and Valerie Write Now

11. Packing your kitchen utensils can be a breeze by using saran wrap to cover them as is. Simply leave them in the tray and wrap them up.

12.  Put plates vertical in boxes to help keep them safe. Plenty of padding is needed either way but they are much less likely to break. Another great idea is using styrofoam in between horizontal plates to prevent breakage.

13. Enlist grandparents or someone trustworthy to take the pets and kids for moving day. These things do not mix well with moving at all.

14.  Contact charities in your area well before moving day and have them pick up all donations. It will take that off your plate.

15. Have food and drink prepared for the movers if they are friends and family. People that are well fed and hydrated are much more likely to want to help.


tp-cord-pack

Organize Electric Cords with Toilet Paper Tubes – Example from Storage and Glee

16. Tie all cords that go to one electronic device together so that it can be easily found later. Ziploc bag them together or use toilet paper tubes to seperate them in a box. Be sure to clearly label them as well.

17. Group hanging clothes in sets of three or four and cover them by putting a trash bag over them. Simply poke the hanger top through the center of the closed end and you have a garment bag on the cheap.

18. Leverage Ebay and Craigslist and every other selling possibility as far in advance as possible of the move. Downsizing is your friend.

19. Make a toolbox (you should probably already have one) that is loaded with all the things you need to break things down and build things. This should be in your car at all times for quick retrieval.

20. Use styrofoam plates in between your good plates to pad them neatly and easily.

nail-hole-moving-Collage

Fill Nail Holes with Bar Soap – Example from Joyfully Home

21. Use white soap to fill in all the little holes from pictures and so on.

22. Stock up at the ABC store on boxes. The beer and liquor boxes you use will be the best boxes you can find for breakables and knick knacks. Leave the inserts in for the tiny stuff. Also check out these ideas for FREE Boxes.

23. Invest in the moving tools. Get a dolly, hand trucks and anything else you can get your hands on. It is worth the investment.

24. Ball up your socks and use them as padding in the gaps of boxes. This can really help to prevent items from bouncing around inside of the boxes during the move.

25. Begin packing in the kitchen. This is where the really complicated items are and the ones you should knock out first. (Just try packing a mixer)

bolts-moving-tips

Screw Bolts in the Same Bag – Example from  from A Mommy’s Life with a Touch of Yellow

26. Put screws and other small parts that go to something broken down into sandwich bags that are sealable for the trip.

27. Use your moving and packing as a chance to purge everything that is no longer fitting or used. Toss it or donate it.

28. Stop grocery shopping a couple weeks out and work to clean out the fridge and cabinets. Starting fresh makes good sense in a new home.

29. Take a box and pack up all of your warranties and paperwork related to items.

30. Take digital photos of all serial numbers and so on for important items that are insured. The last thing you want is to be caught without such information and needing it.

garbage-bag-clothes-moving

Garbage Bag Clothes Together – Example from Instagram Manda Gee 

31. Instead of boxes, use garbage bags for all your clothing. It is easier to carry and identify what is inside. I suggest you color code to identify rooms.

32. Defrost your refrigerator well in advance of moving day.

33. Have each family member pack for a two week vacation. This will ensure they have what they need to make it while the unpacking process begins.

34. Level one, two or three? Mark your boxes based on how quickly you anticipate needing the items within.

35. Keep in mind that boxes should never exceed forty pounds unless absolutely necessary. This can speed up the moving process considerably and keep from killing your help too.

Stay on Schedule and Organized – Download and print our Moving Organizational Binder. Twenty-Six pages to get you organized.

36. Write a schedule well in advance of the move that lays out when and how you will pack each room. This will keep you on point and ensure you are not hit with a ton of moving work the day of.

37. Order or make some stickers that have your new address on them and keep them in your wallet or purse. They will be life savers when you have to begin changing your address with businesses and mail.

38. When you arrive in your new home, fully set up a room that you particularly enjoy so you have someplace to relax. Most people like it to be the bedroom so that they are sure of a good night’s sleep.

39. Add handles to as many boxes as possible by poking or cutting them. Be sure the boxes are strong enough cardboard to do so.

40. Use pillows and stuffed animals to pad things and keep them safe from breaking.


tape-mirrors

Tape Mirrors to Prevent Breaks – Example from Martha Stewart

41. Tape mirrors and other breakables with tape to absorb the shock.

42. Use strong tape to make sure hinged doors and drawers don’t slide out during the move. Some folks take out the drawers and so on as well.

43. Use plastic wrap to close up lightweight drawers and the like.

44. Make a toolbox for nothing but packing materials. This will be very useful when you need to find something quickly. Staying organized makes a big difference.

45. The box within a box method is a good idea for things that are especially breakable. Double box when you are unsure about safety.

moving-packing-jewelry-Collage

Upcycle Toilet Paper Rolls and Egg Cartons for Jewelry – Examples from Authentic Simplicity and Instructables

46. Use empty toilet paper rolls to carry your costume jewelry like bracelets, chains and necklaces. they can be connected around the tubes and kept neat fairly easily. Egg cartons work great too!

47. Save the drawers for lightweight stuff like socks, scarves and things of that nature.

48. Take regular breaks as you move. The last thing you want to do is wear them out and then find yourself alone on moving day.

49. Invest in helpers if you see you are not going to have enough help. The money will be well spent and you will not be nearly as stressed.

50. Celebrate your first day in your home by having a luxurious dinner out! You worked hard so let someone else take care of you for an hour or two!
