Beach Day Must-Haves: Essentials for a Fun Family Day Out!

There’s nothing quite like a family beach day — sun, sand, and plenty of memories waiting to be made! Whether you’re heading to Hervey Bay, K’gari, or anywhere along the Fraser Coast, having the right beach essentials can turn a simple day out into a relaxing, fun-filled adventure for everyone.

At Raphy’s Beach Hire, we’ve made it easy for families to enjoy the coast without the hassle. Here’s our list of beach must-haves for the perfect family day out:

1. Shade and Comfort

A shady spot is non-negotiable, especially with little ones in tow. Opt for a CoolCabana or beach umbrella to keep everyone cool and protected from the sun. Add comfy beach chairs or a large beach mat to create a relaxing spot where the whole family can rest between dips in the ocean.

2. Towels and Picnic Essentials

Pack plenty of soft beach towels for drying off and lounging on the sand. A picnic rug and small beach table make snack time so much easier (and help keep sand out of your food!). Don’t forget water bottles and plenty of sunscreen to stay hydrated and protected all day long.

3. Toys and Activities

Keep the kids entertained with beach toys, sandcastle kits, paddleboards, or frisbees. Water-friendly games and toys can help burn energy and make the day more memorable.

4. Easy Transport

Carrying gear doesn’t have to be a chore. A beach cart makes transporting chairs, towels, and toys from your car to your spot on the sand easy — especially if you’re wrangling little ones.

5. The Ultimate Beach Setup (Without the Stress!)

Want to avoid packing and carrying it all yourself? At Raphy’s Beach Hire, we offer family-friendly hire packages that include everything you need for the perfect beach day — from shade and seating to picnic gear and paddleboards. We even deliver directly to your Airbnb, hotel, or holiday home, so your beach day starts the moment you’re ready.
