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!

a pizza picnic is such a neat idea! plus no cooking haha
My favorite memories at the beach was time spent there with my dad.
Love the first time I took my little man to the beach. He was confused, but thrilled, with sand and waves.
You had me at pizza picnic, this looks perfect for the beach!
what an awesome giveaway.
I need beachmate for my July vacation.
I remember going to Seaside Oregon every summer and the water being so cold but not caring at all and just diving in and wave jumping with my sisters.

We just picked our weekend for our next beach trip, and this Beachmate just blew my mind! What a cleaver idea! We always pack buckets and shovels galore with cold drinks and loads of sunscreen.
Can’t go to the beach without sunscreen & a good magazine or book (with some help with the kids)!
I love this! Very cool design! I usually have like 7 bags in tow when taking my daughter to the park or river.
Favorite beach memory is spending weekends at my grandparents’ cottage as a kid. We could see the lake from the front porch.
We can’t leave home without the sunscreen! Gotta have protection from the rays!
My favorite beach memories are of visiting my grandparents in Florida….before we knew skin cancer was kind of a big deal….and I’d get sunburns and use my grandma’s aloe plant for soothing relief!
My must haves for the beach are my kindle/ a book, towel/ beach chair, and SUNSCREEN. This bag looks perfect for combining everything into one easy to carry bag! Thank you for sharing your review Gina:)

Can’t go without sunscreen!
Books…can’t go to the beach without a good one.
Gotta have a hat!
My favorite beach memory is bringing my daughter to the beach for the first time. She was only 3 months old and thought the sand was so weird on her feet!
I love picnics!! They are so relaxing and there is just something about eating outside when the weather is good that I just love!
I grew up visiting my grandparents house just minutes from the beach. They’ve had the house for 50+ years!
I am going to the beach for a few weeks this summer with my 4 year olds and this would be so perfect!
I love going to Chincoteague Island…it’s my favorite!
Love taking my kids to the beach!!
My favorite memories are spending time with my sister. I’m getting ready to take my two babies and I’m looking forward to making new memories with them 🙂
I follow on Instagram 🙂
I’ve learned from experience that sunscreen and a hat are must have items for the beach.
Looks great!
such an awesome giveaway! i would love to drive down to the beach and have a beach picnic 🙂
I follow on Instagram!
What a great product! I love how versatile it is as well! Having your family’s name embroidered in it is so cute! Love!
A big hat!
I followed my beach mate on IG.
super cute!
That looks like the perfect bag! I’m always a mess going to the beach lugging things! lol.
I love this bag…it would make summer beach days in Maine so much easier
Sunscreen and snacks!
I live a block from the beach in Boston, growing up my mom used to walk us down there and we would stay all day, now I do the same with my kids!
I would love this bag to help organize for pool and beach trips with my 2 and 5 year old.
We can’t go to the beach without snacks (or really, anywhere without them, according to my 2-year-old)!
love it!!! this would be super helpful with three kiddos!
This bag looks awesome!! I am all for more organized beach trips!
Your photo’s sure bring back fond memories for me of my kids and our summer beach days in Gloucester. I can’t believe how grown up Liv looks. A beachmate would be a great item to keep us organized on the boat this summer – stuff is always everywhere. I could even take it for camping trips.
How cute AND super functional!
My favorite beach memory was taking my daughter when she was 6 mos old w/ her older cousins. We had such a blast & enjoyed many more beach trips over the years.
My uncle once grilled fresh salmon caught that day over a fire on the beach!
Nothing says summer like a trip to the beach. The bag looks like the perfect way to organize.
What a fun way to have a beach picnic!
I cannot go to the beach without Sunglasses and Water.
