3. Don’t forget hydration
A day under the sun calls for plenty of fluids. Our sturdy insulated water bottles keep drinks refreshingly cool and sand-free. Fill them with chilled water, fresh juice, or homemade iced tea and stay hydrated all day long. If you want a warm drink, our bottles keep hot drinks warm for up to 12 hours.
4. Bring beach-friendly bites
Think fuss-free, easy-to-eat foods:
-
- Sandwiches and wraps
- Fresh fruit and veggies
- Crackers and cheese
- Dips and spreads
- Bite-sized treats
Pack a small cooler bag with ice packs if you’re bringing perishables - and our containers will do the rest to keep everything fresh.
5. Pack out what you pack in
Remember, the best beach picnic leaves only footprints behind. Bring our reusable cutlery packed in a neat silicone case, napkins, and a trash bag to make clean-up easy and eco-friendly.
