Beach friendly food is important when traveling to the sand and sun. This Seasoned Oyster Cracker Recipe with ranch seasoning mix is easy to prepare, extremely tasty, filling and feeds a large crowd. It’s a family favorite beach snack recipe you will make over and over again.

Seasoned Oyster Cracker Recipe

As a former sand and sun worshiper and native of Florida, I am often asked, “what snacks are good for the beach?” The sun has a way of sucking the calories out of you and often tummies, namely those of the kids, are famished! My first goal of preparing beach snacks is to feed a crowd. If you go to the beach with two kids, you always end up feeding about triple your head count. Kids pick up kids. People also eat larger servings in the sun. I love to make a meal healthy, but I also like to make a hearty snack.

This Seasoned Oyster Cracker Recipe is perfect for feeding a crowd and is incredibly tasty. Best of all, it is easy to whip up the morning before you head out to the beach or prepare ahead and store in a tightly sealed bag or plastic container. This is a family recipe. My stepmom has made it for years and my kids always ask for it. She makes it without cheese crackers, but this year for our beach adventure, we decided to mix things up. In addition to our oyster crackers, we added Goldfish! I figured this would be a nice touch for our young crowd, three kids two and under!

Also check out our other beach friendly food recipes – Strawberry Mango Salsa. So good!

Other beach friendly foods include peanut butter banana roll-ups tortillas, tangerines, frozen grapes, pre-cut watermelon triangles, strawberry mango salsa, frozen Capri Suns, kids Cliff Bars, and sandwiches. Think fruit, crabs, and protein!

See this Seasoned Oyster Cracker Recipe is featured in Beach Life Hacks and Beach Tips and Hacks!

Beach Friendly Recipe Adaption: This is best in the slow cooker so you can continuously stir. If your beach house lacks a Crock-Pot, prepare the recipe, lay it out on cookie sheets and let it bake in the sun! If the porch is too windy, bake it in the oven at 250 degrees for 20 minutes.

Seasoned Oyster Cracker Ingredients:

Optional: Make without Goldfish. Other variations include adding pretzels or substitute with mini Saltines.

You can substitute Mazola corn oil for vegetable oil. We also have changed the oil about pairing 1/4 cup vegetable with 4 TBSP unsalted butter.

Multiply as needed. This recipe will fill about a gallon sized plastic bag.

Beach Life Hacks – Secrets from a Floridian

Heading to the shore this summer? Check out these beach hacks, secrets, and tips from a native Floridian. All the beach ideas to make your day in the sand and sun extra special!

Beach Life Hacks

Being raised in the panhandle of Florida, the beach was always an hour away. Every weekend my parents and I would make the trek and enjoy a few sunsets on the coast before heading back home for the daily grind of Monday. All I really cared about was having a towel and a suit — the ocean provided all the rest. However, as I got older and continued this tradition with my kids, I picked up a few Beach Life Hacks along the way that I couldn’t do without now!

We blended two of our favorite posts Life Hacks and Beach Tips into one new post with unique ideas. These beach hacks will show you how to keep your drinks cold, what snacks are best for feeding hungry bellies in the heat, and the best way to keep the sand off of you by the end of the day. We’ve also included some of our umbrella tips and beauty ideas for the beach to enjoy the salty air at your best!

Enjoy your fun in the sun with our beach hacks!

Take a look at these two beach friendly foods – Strawberry Salsa Recipe and Seasoned Oyster Cracker Recipe.

Beach Games PDF

Need ideas for the beach to keep the kids entertained? Before you head on your family beach vacation, make sure to download and print these family friendly beach games to play with kids, adults, youth, teens and more.

You’ll only need resources you can easily find at or bring to the beach to play these games, like beach towels, shells, balls, water bottles and more. Download our Beach Games Directions with a supply list so you are well equipped to have a great time on your next beach vacation! 17 games are included to ensure your day is full of tons of fun!

Beach Games for Kids & Adults

Beach Trip Life Hacks

First, make sure you have the right cart or be prepared for a number of trips down to the shore. Because of it’s wide wheels and it’s ability to collapse, this is the best beach cart.

Some kids have endless fun on their own at the beach… and some need a little extra encouragement to last all day. Busy a bored kid with this printable Beach Scavenger Hunt! Pin to Pinterest.

Speaking of staving off boredom, save these beach games to play when you get there. Everyone in the family can get in on the fun! Also print our Beach Games Directions PDF with supply list!

This might be the absolute best of these beach hacks! This hack was originally seen in our Beach Tips, but it’s worth sharing again. Carry a Rubbermaid Bin to the beach with all your toys, towels, and accessories. If you are in a quieter section of the beach, fill up the bucket and leave this bin by the showers, uncovered. The sun will warm the water. At the end of your beach day, bring the kids up to the bucket and wash them with soap in their own outdoor tub. This gives you clean kids (i.e., no sand) before putting them in the car! Before your car ride home, put all your dirty clothing and toys in the bin. You are welcome!

Prep your hair for your day of sun the beach way, or use this beauty hack for the beach any time you want! This DIY sea salt spray will make your hair look effortlessly wavy, the way it does after a long day by the ocean. It’s so easy, and you probably have all the ingredients at home already. (I see my typo – please “multiply” as needed!)

1 c warm water (warm dissolves the sea salt)
1 tsp sea salt (we like this brand)
1 tsp coconut oil
1 tsp conditioner (white conditioner is best!)
optional: 4 drops lime essential oil

An inflatable baby pool and umbrella will keep your baby cool and shaded on the sand. | Little and Lovely

Ever struggled to get your umbrella firmly planted in the sand? You need this trick. There are two tools you want for your umbrella to help it stay up all day long. First, you want an Umbrella Sand Anchor. This will help keep your umbrella stable, even with the sea breeze. Once your umbrella is up, back extra sand around the stand. Then wet it. Then pack more. The wet it…. and so on. You’ll also want this Hanging Hook Set. This keeps all of your stuff off the ground and out of the sand! Great for keys, sunglasses, phones, or any other items you need to protect.

This aloe cooling cube recipe is THE best way to relieve sunburnt skin!

Rain happens. But you don’t have to let a rainy day at the beach spoil your fun! While you’re at home waiting for the storm to pass, have fun making these Sea Shell Creatures. Make your own play-doh from ingredients at home or buy some and get crafty. | Crafts by Amanda

Never lose your keys or risk your phone getting wet again! Keep the essentials safe in a recycled plastic jar. (Source unknown)

Chill your beach cooler with frozen water bottles instead of ice packs. As the day goes on, the ice will thaw and you’ll have another round of refreshing drinks. | Kitchn

While you’re freezing your water bottles to keep your food chilled, freeze your Capri Suns too. They’ll turn into the perfect slushies for the kids (and adults) and the perfect treat to enjoy on a hot day.

It’s easy to buy shovels, kites, float, and sandcastle buckets at the beach, but if you want to save money, I recommend buying those items from The Dollar Tree and bringing them with you to the beach. Stores at the beach are known for marking up their items. If you are not traveling by car, consider shipping your toys (from Amazon) to your beach house door!

Don’t want to spend at all? Use kitchen supplies you already have to create your own beach toys! 1.) Dish scrub brush 2.) Kitchen strainer 3.) Tupperware containers 4.) Cookie cutters 5.) Water pitcher 6.) Tub toys 7.) Kitchen Funnel | Raising Whasians

No matter how old my kids get, they’ve never not collected shells at the beach. We told you in our Beach Tips Post that mesh laundry bags are good for beach toys, but did you know they’re the perfect shell container too? I suggest one with a zipper. Keep the bag zipped and wash your shells out in the outdoor sink or shower. Once again, Once again, shop The Dollar Tree. | I Love Shelling

Beach carts are fun, but why spend extra if you’ve got a sled you can use? Yes, you read that right! Drag your heavier essentials through the sand on a regular winter sled. (Source)

Pack more food than you think you’ll need and thank me later. The sun, sand, and wind kick up an appetite, every time. Chips and cookies are great, but fruit is even more refreshing on a hot summer’s day. Try things like watermelon, grapes, and clementines/oranges. Tip: freeze your grapes! | Vegan Haven

Did you know a fitted sheet might be one of the best things you could carry to the beach? Don’t worry, we aren’t asking you to fold it. In fact, laying it out, upside down, will help keep (most) sand from blowing on your blanket. Anchor down the four corners with heavy objects like your cooler and beach bag. | Team Johnson

I have been trying to not share this idea with you again, but what can I say — it’s seriously one of the most magical beach hacks I’ve got. When your body is covered with sand, apply baby powder. It takes it right off. Works every time! Don’t want to break out the baby powder? Check out this sand removing mitt I found on Amazon! Such a neat tool.

Don’t get sand all over your drink. While it’s a nice reminder that you’re not at the office, it gets everywhere when you go to take a sip. Grab a drink spike!

Everyone’s favorite dessert, milk and cookies, twisted into a cool tasty treat – Milk and Cookies Popsicles featuring Golden OREOs.

Milk and Cookies Popsicles

We twisted everyone’s favorite dessert into a yummy treat, Milk and Cookies Popsicles! This Popsicle recipe features Golden OREOs. We did not use whole milk in this recipe, we used our secret ingredient Almond Milk. We make a lot of smoothies in our home, so Almond Milk is a pretty common staple ingredient for us. To add more flavor, we included sugar and vanilla extract. If you need a Popsicle mold, these are like the molds we used.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 cups Unsweetened Vanilla Almond milk
¼ cups Sugar
2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
Golden OREOs
Popsicle molds – these are like the molds we used, but they have many more options!

Directions:

Pour two cups of unsweetened vanilla almond milk into a blender.
Add in ¼ cup of sugar.
Mix in 2 teaspoons of vanilla.
Blend until the mixture is well combined.
Place one whole Golden Oreo into the bottom of each Popsicle mold.
Break another Golden Oreo into fourths, and layer it the rest of the way to the top of each Popsicle mold.
Pour your Popsicle mixture into each mold to fill it to the top.
Place the tops on each of the Popsicle molds.
Put the Popsicles in the freezer for at least 5 hours.
When ready to serve, you can loosen the Popsicle in the molds with some warm running water.

Twist up this popular dessert into a tasty treat for summer, Chocolate Covered Strawberry Popsicles. This frozen dessert features yogurt, strawberries, and a hardening chocolate sauce!

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Popsicles

We our family wants to go out for dessert, we often hit a bakery. This allows everyone to get what the desire… and living in a major city, we are fortunate to have about half a dozen dessert options within a 3 miles radius… is that fortunate, or trouble? When we hit these bakeries, one of my favorite items to get for myself are chocolate covered strawberries, but sometimes it feels like an arm and a leg to get just one. I mean, two dollars for that strawberry? I think not when I know I can get a small carton of strawberries for that price! Anyways, my sweet tooth always wins and the frugal in me always falls (insert sad face.) This summer, I wanted to create a treat for the kids and I that was a fraction of what it would cost for me to hit up the bakery – Chocolate Covered Strawberry Popsicles.

These Chocolate Covered Strawberry Popsicles had my kids in mind (thus the sprinkles and Magic Shell, but you could always adapt the recipe to your own taste buds – like how about melting some Ghirardelli Chocoalte Chips with no sprinkles – we think mom, aka me, would love that!

Enjoy!

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Popsicles

Ingredients:

2 cup Sliced strawberries
1 cup Vanilla Greek yogurt
¼ cup Sugar
Smucker’s Chocolate Magic Shell chocolate
Sprinkles
Popsicle molds – these are like the molds we used, but they have many more options!

Directions:

Place 2 cups of sliced strawberries into a blender.
Mix in 1 cup of vanilla Greek yogurt.
Add in ¼ cup of sugar.
Blend the mixture until it is smooth and well combined.
Pour the strawberry mixture into Popsicle molds until they are full.
Place the lids on the Popsicle molds.
Put the Popsicle in the freezer for no less than 5 hours.
Fill a small wide-mouthed cup or jar with Magic Shell chocolate topping.
Dip the frozen strawberry yogurt pops down into the chocolate. Let it sit for a second or two.
Before the chocolate shell hardens, add some sprinkles so that they will stick.
Place the Popsicle onto a plate or cookie sheet, and put them back in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Remove the Popsicle from the freezer and serve!

Ridiculously easy chocolate pudding bowls made with melting chocolate and the shape of balloons. You won’t believe how easy this ice cream balloon bowl tutorial is with a few simple steps and ingredients.

Chocolate Pudding Bowls Made with Balloons

Want a creative and cute dessert idea for the kids? Make the chocolate dipped balloon bowls. They are so easy, take a few simple ingredients and the kids will have a blast blowing up the balloon (okay, how are we kidding, you will be doing this) and dipping in in the chocolate.

Follow these simple steps. We served with vanilla pudding, but you could try other flavor puddings or even ice cream – I suggest serving on a plate or in a bowl as the chocolate will quick crack when you use a spoon to scoop out the yummy insides. Best of all, you get to eat you chocolate bowl!

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

12 Small Round Balloons (water balloons work well)
8 oz Melting/Dipping Chocolate Candy (your choice of color)
1 box Pudding Mix
2 cup Milk
Candy Decorations (optional)

Directions:

Make pudding according to box directions and allow to cool.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper.
Melt chocolate by microwaving 45 seconds, stirring and repeating until melted and smooth.
Inflate each balloon just until slightly larger than an tennis ball and tie off.
Dip and roll balloon in chocolate until covered about half way.
Place on tray and set tray in freezer for 10 minutes until set.
Dip and roll each balloon a second tip to thicken chocolate shell.
Return to tray and return tray to freezer for 15 minutes.
Snip top of each balloon to release air.
Gently slide your finger and pull balloon away from shell working your way around the edge.
If shell starts to soften, return to freezer for 10 minutes and continue after it firms.
If there are in holes in bottom, carefully fill with melted chocolate to patch and freeze to set.
Fill each egg with pudding and sprinkle with decorations if desired.
Refrigerate until served.
