CGear Sand-Free Tote
This might be the greatest thing I have ever heard of! My biggest beach pet peeve is sand getting on everything, but this bag will make that a thing of the past.
The tote is actually made from special "one-way sift" material developed for the military, which keeps sand keeps sand off your stuff while still enabling you to carry a small cooler or a heavy bottle of water inside without breaking.
And at only $30, it could be the best beach buy you make this season.

Zoe b Fantastic Beach Toys
Keeping the kids entertained at the beach isn't always easy. And lugging around tons of beach toys isn't very fun.
That's where Zoe b comes in. These flexible, light, biodegradable plastic beach toys are perfect for the kids and the environment.
They're free of BPA, PVC, phthalates and other cancer-causing chemicals. Plus if the kids leave them behind, they'll actually disintegrate in two to three years!

Rollors
It's not all about the kids having fun in the sun, you want to too! That's why you need to try Rollors.
The game is part bocce, part bowling and part horseshoes and involves players tossing or rolling solid maple wood disks toward either of two goals.
The one that lands the closest to the goal scores a point and as usual, the most points wins.
The game was actually invented by an Air Force major who was stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq, where sand friendly games were probably a requirement. It's just $40 and comes in a convenient carrying case!

Stanley Adventure Cooler
All that fun and games can make you thirsty and though you could go for the fold up or Styrofoam coolers, Stanley has got a much better option you may want to upgrade to this year.
This 16QT cooler can hold nine cans of soda or beer and will keep them cold for 27 hours! Plus the durable material means it can double as a seat and there's even dry storage inside to store your phone out of sight.

WakaWaka Charger
You know you're using your phone at the beach, so let the sun help you charge it!
The WakaWaka Charger may sounds strange, but it's super cool. Using solar power you can keep your iPhone at full power for up to two hour and though it may take time to charge with just the sun, it also come with a USB cable to get it up to full power even faster.

Sunmate Sun Shelter
And if fun in the sun isn't your thing, you can still enjoy a day at the beach with the Sunmate Sun Shelter.
This portable cabana folds up to the size of a small shoulder bag, but gives a family of four a shady spot to relax.
The tent is also stable on those windy summer days with side pockets that you can fill with sand to give your shelter extra support!
