10 TIPS TO TRAVEL TO BEACH DESTINATIONS WITH CHILDREN

07 October 2020

A large group of people enjoy spending a few days on the beach, enjoying the sea, the sand and the sun, and if you have little ones, there is nothing like watching them run, build sand castles and enjoy the magic of nature with them.

Peruvian beaches are beautiful and our favorites are the northern Peruvian beaches, such as Punta Sal, Zorritos, Las Pocitas, Vichayito, among others, each with a particular essence that makes them unique despite being very close to each other.

As parents we are very concerned about the health of our children, so these tips are only for reference, we will always recommend talking with the pediatrician since the needs of each child are different.

Here are our 10 tips for traveling to the beach with children:

  1. When packing your child, remember to always carry, in addition to their swimwear and water diapers if they are still using them, their sunscreen (which is appropriate for their age and skin type, you should contact your pediatrician), insect repellent (suitable for their skin and age), a hat or cap to protect them from the sun, sunglasses, medicines for allergies, stomach problems and the medicine your little one is taking at the moment. For this point, we recommend consulting your pediatrician directly for more information.
  2. Pack toys that can be used to play in the sand, remember that they like to build castles, boats and everything that their imagination can think of with the sand. It is an excellent time to play with them and enjoy a great quality moment.
  3. It is very important to keep them hydrated, you should always bring their bottle with water and remind them to drink water from time to time, they usually put the game before everything, it is also good to bring them a small snack, be it a little fruit or some sandwiches that They will satisfy hunger especially if they go for a walk or an excursion.
  4. If you travel with babies, do not forget to pack everything you need to go out such as your changing table, diapers, aquatic diapers, bottle, wet wipes, bags to dispose of dirty diapers when you return to the hotel (they are quite useful).
  5. In the hotels with access to the beach there are always umbrellas ready for guests, find the place that seems best to you and throw the towels in the shade of these, so you and your little ones will be protected from overexposure to the sun, remember that there are hours where the sun’s rays strike most strongly.
  6. The hotels in the north of Peru usually have a swimming pool within their facilities, if you do not feel like going out to the beach, you can spend the day in the pool, for this, do not forget to bring the floats of arms so that, under the supervision of dad, mom or whoever is in charge, can move freely and can play with them.
  7. It is recommended to bring them slip-resistant shoes or sandals that they can wear both on the beach and in the pool and in this way try to avoid burning their feet or slipping when walking.
  8. Try to keep your little ones’ meal schedules, meal schedules are very important to maintain the good mood of the trip, although they are entertained playing and running, when they start to feel hungry they can get uncomfortable and in a bad mood, but once their tummies are full and their energy is full, they can continue to enjoy it to the fullest.
  9. Remember to ask your travel agency what tours or excursions you can take with your little ones, since not everyone can count on the security measures to protect their integrity.
  10. Leaving the cell phone and spending more time on them is the best recommendation we can give you, since the main reason for the trip is to reconnect with the family, if they are very young they may not keep any memories of the trip, but they will always remember the feelings that experienced during this trip and that when they are older they want to pass it on to their own children.

We hope that these tips are very useful for you and are encouraged to enjoy more unforgettable experiences with the little ones of the house.
