Preppy and Fun Stuff for the Beach and Pool

It’s officially hot out! Once the temperatures hit 80, all we want to do is in be in the water, so we rounded up all kinds of fun ideas for the pool or beach or boat. I like to have lots of practical stuff for the kids (collapsible pails, quick dry towels!) mixed with more scenic things for the adults, like that insanely cute basket cooler and and a straw hat to protect me from the sun.

Wherever you like to go for summer fun, make sure you bring your SPF. We just stocked up and my kids are officially making fun of us for each bringing seven kinds of sunscreen to the beach last weekend.

Preppy and Fun Stuff for the Beach and Pool

  1. Weezie towels have the cutest contrast trim and monogram options!

  2. This visor is the most useful hat I own-it’s packable, adjustable and it lets the heat out!

  3. The Sandlite towels are engineered to allow sand to pass through so that you aren’t stuck on a sandy mat-I think it sounds perfect for picnics.

  4. Collapsible Sand Pails are so much easier to throw in a bag to take on the boat or to the beach.

  5. Since I’m obsessed with finding shade wherever I go, this tall striped tent looks like just thing for along day by the water.

  6. This pool lounger from Target looks so comfy and is such a bargain. We have a similar one that’s our most used and longest lasting float.

  7. I’m so into the Annapolis print that Scout made! I love Scout anything for the boat, and the Annapolis print makes it even more special.

  8. While I love a smushy towel for the bath, on the boat or the beach, these quick drying towels are the best! That way the kids don’t get them soggy and then moan all day while I haul around heavy towels-these are super light and dry really quickly.

  9. Cute and nautical wooden chairs that you can order on Amazon? Yes, please.

  10. This round cooler basket would make any picnic look so attractive and tasteful! Especially with champagne inside…

  11. A little tent that pops up in seconds is perfect for kids at the beach.

  12. Inflatable basketball net = pool fun for all.

  13. My big girls were obsessed with these mermaid tails for years, and I think Cece’s finally big enough to get one of her own.

  14. This ricrac trim chair would make me happy every time I sat in it.

  15. Lila has been dying to take videos underwater, but I’m too nervous to let her use her phone, so this looks like a perfect solution for $30.

  16. This umbrella is giving me all the Slim Aarons and vintage Palm Beach vibes.
