On the go with Beachmate + a giveaway!!
This post is sponsored by my friends at Beachmate and includes an awesome giveaway opportunity. Read on for the details!
When I’m out and about with the girls, I’ve been able to streamline all of our gear so that I feel like I have everything I need without being totally strapped down with bags, gear, and babies. P is riding in the Ergo, the diaper bag is on my arm, and Liv is holding my hand. We’re able to go pretty much anywhere we want to go, and all of our essentials are in the diaper bag. One of the things I couldn’t quite figure out: lugging all of our beach gear to the beach with two small children in tow. This was especially challenging after my hand surgery, since my hand is still pretty weak and I couldn’t grasp heavy items.
Beachmate to the rescue.
My friends at Beachmate sent us one of their stackable storage systems to try out, and it has been a game changer.
We can put everything we need in the Beachmate, including food, sunscreen, hats, towels, and extra clothes. You can flip the multi-purpose buckets over to use as tables for snacks and lunch, and it also includes a cooler for snacks.
We enjoyed a pizza picnic on the Turkish towel, and had everything we needed in the Beachmate.
Bonus: the storage system can be used to build sand castles, and the Beachmate also came with two shovels. This was definitely Liv’s favorite part.
Some more info about Beachmate: (you can check out all of the wonderful products on their site!)
Even fully packed, it fits easily into the car.
One thing that stood out to me was the quality of the design. Everything feels very well-made and durable, so it will last us for summers of wear and tear.
Beachmate kindly offered a giveaway for one lucky reader, who will receive their own customizable system + a beautiful Turkish towel. It will make those summer beach days less bogged down with gear, so you can pack everything up and enjoy!

This is AWESOME! I always feel as though I don’t have enough hands for everything, and I love how organized everything is!
Oh this looks perfect!!! Expecting our first in September but I can see myself using this NOW for beach days.
My favorite beach memory would have to be going to San Diego with my husband in 2008, before seeing Radiohead at the Hollywood Bowl. We had only been dating for about six months at the time and it was our first trip together. It was truly an amazing time.
awesome bag!!! I have very fond memories of the beach growing up. Now I can’t go to the beach without sunblock so I can re-apply
I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old so efficient travelling is a MUST…this would be amazing! We’re heading to the beach in July and I can’t wait to start making memories with my girls.
We didn’t live close to any beaches growing up but we do now so I’m looking forward to taking my girls on their first beach day
Can’t go the beach without sunscreen and our beach tent!
I have such fond memories of being at the beach with my sister and building sand castles, burying each other in the sand, and collecting seashells!

This looks like it would be so useful for all our beach trips coming up this summer!
Usually the seafood inner and ice cream after a full beach day is my favorite part haha
i cant leave home without sunscreen for miss A these days 😉

I was just thinking about how I need something like this!
I always bring my sunscreen!
How cool, this looks so helpful!
I love my beach days! I grew up near the beach so living 3 hours away is killer.
This looks awesome!!
We always bring sunscreen, a big towel, and beach chairs to sit on!
What a cute bag! My favorite gear are the beach chairs we got from Costco probably 4-5 years ago. I love that they’re adjustable and easy to carry. Never sit on the lumpy sand again! Lol!!

Best beach trip is going to Tybee Island! Best trip every year
Sunscreen is by beach must! My parents live on a lake so we had a beach day every day!
Towels are grrreat! I would love to have an organized system like this for many many uses in addition to beach/lake trips!
Can’t go to the beach without a good book. 😉
Love remembering summers at the beach with my grandparents 🙂
I already follow you 🙂
My best memories are spending our Christmases in Ft. Myers Beach, FL!

That’s a cool basket for those who go to the beach or lakes in the summer.
Summers spent at the lake are the best! Especially with a good book!
Sunscreen and sunglasses are both must haves
My family loves going to the beach. This would be perfect!

My favorite beach memory is going with my then-boyfriend’s family 2 years ago. That was right after we met and we are getting married this September! And, of course, can’t go the beach without sunscreen and a book.
I can’t go to the beach without sunglasses. Like seriously, I die without them.
I always make sure to have baby powder on hand for clean up afterwards. It gets all the sand off every little crevice and crack of toddler boys! And of course we go nowhere without sunscreen!
I always bring my Gather mat to the beach!
Sunscreen and a magazine.
a beach chair! I hate getting all sandy laying on a towel
