Making Memories: Planning an Unforgettable Children's Party During Your Beach Vacation
The beach is always the best idea to have fun. It’s the perfect day out for your family where the kids can get up to all kinds of stuff. Making sandcastles, surfing, crab-hunting, and so much more. There are many ways in which you can host a fantastic beach party for your children, such as baby flowers decor or adding tents to make a lively scene. Organise an itinerary filled with loads of activities. We have created a guide full of handy recommendations on how to throw the best beach party for your children.
Choose Your Perfect Beach
Before you start planning the party, you are going to need to find somewhere suitable. A good beach is one that has a lot of boxes ticked:
- Smooth sand with minimal rocks
- Clear-blue Sea
- Perfect weather
- Plenty of space
- Various tide settings
- Wet enough sand for sandcastles
You can find a lot of beaches all over the world that can match these boxes. While it can be exceedingly rare for a beach to pass every check, you will want one that is ideal for the type of party you wish to set. Great examples include Dubai, Australia, and Greece.
Public or Private?
If you want guaranteed space for your party, then opting for a private beach is the best option. The downside is that this is most likely the more expensive option. A public beach is free to use but you won’t be able to get as much space as you need. Especially if you are choosing a beach that is popular with tourists and expected to be crowded. If you wish to hire a private beach, you can find some available online before you plan your trip. Everything can be sorted in advance so you won't have to worry about last minute prep.
Decorating the Space
You can now proceed with setting up the party with whatever theme you want. The best part is choosing what kind of decorations you need. Try picking a theme your kids would want to see most at the beach. You can have a nautical theme with lots of submarine imagery and fish balloons. Hiring baby balloons is the safest bet for all ages. You can have a pirate theme with lots of ship decor and toys. Remember to bring tents so you can get some shade if the kids end up running too hot at the beach.
Beach Games
There are many different games for you to get kids involved in. Many of them are beach appropriate too and can only be done so on the beach. You can have a sandcastle contest. Whoever makes the biggest sandcastle can be rewarded with treats. A lot of physical activities can be played whilst on the beach. Running, sports, tag, and even a regular game of catch can be more fun when fighting the sand. Just be sure that none of the sand gets on any of the food areas.
Providing Beach Snacks
The best kind of food to have at the beach are easy, delectable appetisers. Having smaller snacks can mean easier transportation. For a fuller meal, sandwiches can pack a lot without making much mess. You can have all kinds of meat, vegetables, and fruit mixed into a breaded treat. The kids can get started on eating and then finish just in time for the next activity. If you don’t want any of the sand to get on the food, it can be best to bring a foldable table with you. Place all your food and drinks on a sturdy table away from all the sand.
Staying Safe
As a final preparation, make sure that the children will be safe when partying on the beach. This includes keeping track of how many guests are at the party. The beach can be awfully big and often busy. Keep track of them so they don’t get lost or wander around. As expected on the beach, make sure to pack plenty of sunscreen and appropriate beachwear. We wouldn’t want the kids catching sunburn while they play.
Once you have everything sorted, it's time to get the party started! Be sure to check out if any official services are available at the beach to add more to the event.
