I too live in Spain and on the coast. When my Grandchildren were younger I bought a beach tent so that they could completely shield from the sun. Depending on the sea conditions one of those rubber rings with an inbuilt seat are ideal. Most beaches have water taps for cleaning the sand from your legs and feet. Have fun I love going to the beach with children.
A sunhat is vital. Cover the child either in sunscreen or a mini wetsuit.
My very fair and freckled DGC love the beach but if even a patch of skin doesn't have factor 50 sunscreen, there's sunburn and I'm talking about Scotland in Summer. My DGC in NZ has to wear a hat to school every day. It's normal because of the hole in the ozone layer.
No please don’t use talc it’s kinda outlawed for babies after it was believed to be carcinogenic not sure if it was ever proved or not someone else will know Living by the beach my children and grandchildren have all grown up in the sand and sea water I have never taken anything special apart from a nice fluffy big towel When you r ready to go home lay the towel out on the beach or prom take the baby to the sea and dip it in and out a few times (naked is best if they re only little) then wrap them up in the towel and a nice warm bath or shower when you get back to the house/apartment/ hotel Never had a baby sit still long enough to fiddle with paint brushes ???
My granddaughter is 1 and we’ve started to take her on the bevy in the mornings. We live in Spain. We go early in the morning and home for lunch time. Do any of you have tips for taking babies to the beach? The only one I can remember is talc and a small paint brush for getting sand off feet and legs ?
