Let me tell you, there's nothing worse than settling down on a sandy, damp blanket at the beach, trying to catch some rays while feeling more like a sandcastle than a sunbather.

Let's dive into why the Dock & Bay beach towel is a game-changer for family beach must-haves.

Beach towels – we all know they're essential, but let's face it, they can be a hassle. They take up so much room in your beach bag, and once they get wet, sand seems to cling to them like glue. Not to mention, they can take forever to dry, leaving you with a damp, sandy mess.

Enter Dock & Bay beach towels. These innovative towels are designed to address all those pesky beach towel problems. They're much more compact than traditional towels, so they won't hog precious space in your beach bag. Plus, they dry quickly and repel sand, so you can say goodbye to those sandy struggles.

With rave reviews, these towels sound like a win all around. Of course, personal preference is key, but for families with young kids, the convenience and practicality of these towels are hard to beat. Just be mindful, though – they're so lightweight that they can easily catch a breeze and fly away. But with their compact size and sand-repelling magic, these Dock & Bay beach towels are sure to become your new beach day essential.

Every time we hit the beach for a family vacation, it's inevitable: the kids always want their floaties inflated right away.

Let's talk about the Tommy Bahama beach chair – a true staple in our family's beach outings. While it's not a new find for me, it's definitely a must-have for every beach destination. With its ability to lay flat, convenient towel bar, mesh pocket, cooler, cup holder, and lightweight design with backpack-like straps, it's the ultimate beach companion.

In fact, we love these chairs so much that each family member has their own! It's so convenient for everyone to carry their personal belongings in the compartments and hang their towel on the towel bar as we head to the beach. Not only does it make transporting everything a breeze, but it also ensures that everyone has a comfortable place to sit once we arrive.

Now, I'll admit, these chairs can be a bit pricey. We paid full price for two of ours before stumbling upon them at TJ Maxx for a steal. So if you're in the market for these chairs, I highly recommend checking out your local TJ Maxx first! Trust me, they're worth every penny.
