For travel within the EU, a valid passport or national ID card will do. For destinations further afield, a passport is essential. Arrange documents well in advance \u2014 processing can take several weeks. Don&#8217;t forget your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) and travel insurance for the whole family (we recommend <strong><a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Safety Wing\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/safety-wing\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">SafetyWing<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>As a precaution, make copies of all important documents and store them separately from the originals.

Sunscreen with SPF 50+ is an absolute must \u2014 bring enough for the entire holiday. Children under one year old should never be exposed to direct sunlight.<\/p>\n<p>Besides sunscreen, don&#8217;t forget head coverings \u2014 hats, caps, or legionnaire-style caps with neck protection are ideal. Sunglasses with UV protection will shield your children&#8217;s sensitive eyes. For long stays at the beach, UV clothing is a brilliant investment \u2014 shirts and suits with UPF 50+ protection that work instantly without the wait after application.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"368\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dovolena-s-detmi-3-700x368.jpg\" alt=\"Beach holiday with kids\" class=\"wp-image-104741\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dovolena-s-detmi-3-700x368.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dovolena-s-detmi-3-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dovolena-s-detmi-3-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dovolena-s-detmi-3-696x365.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dovolena-s-detmi-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Beach holiday with kids<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Swimwear_and_Beachwear\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Swimwear_and_Beachwear\"><\/span>Swimwear and Beachwear<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Pack at least two swimsuits per child. After swimming, it&#8217;s important to change out of wet swimwear so your child doesn&#8217;t catch a chill or develop a urinary tract infection. For girls, a mix of two-piece and one-piece swimsuits is practical; for boys, both board shorts and fitted trunks are useful depending on pool requirements.<\/p>\n<p>UV swimwear or neoprene suits are especially good for longer periods in the water or in areas with intense sunshine. Along with swimwear, add a light cover-up or beach dress for walking between your accommodation and the beach.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Footwear_for_Every_Occasion\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Footwear_for_Every_Occasion\"><\/span>Footwear for Every Occasion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Children will need several types of shoes.

Beyond the basics like nappies, wet wipes, and a changing mat, you&#8217;ll need baby food in sufficient quantities (you&#8217;d be surprised, but in Italy for instance it can be hard to find certain baby cereals, and the selection of pouches and other items is limited), bottles, dummies, and bibs.<\/p>\n<p>A travel cot or at least a large muslin cloth for putting down on surfaces. A pushchair will be appreciated even for children who don&#8217;t use one at home anymore \u2014 in the heat and during long walks, it&#8217;ll be a lifesaver.

Let the kids pack their favourite cuddly toys and anything they can&#8217;t fall asleep without. For the beach, bring sand moulds, spades, a bucket, a ball, or a frisbee \u2014 though you can buy all of these at your destination, so if space is tight, you can skip them.<\/p>\n<p>The most important toys are for the journey itself. Colouring books with crayons, storybooks, or a tablet loaded with films and games. Board games can entertain the whole family during shared evenings.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dovolena-s-detmi.jpg\" alt=\"Beach holiday with kids: What to bring\" class=\"wp-image-104762\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dovolena-s-detmi.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dovolena-s-detmi-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dovolena-s-detmi-700x368.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dovolena-s-detmi-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dovolena-s-detmi-696x365.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Beach holiday with kids: What to bring<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Swimming_Aids\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Swimming_Aids\"><\/span>Swimming Aids<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Water safety is a top priority. Pack armbands, swimming vests, or rubber rings depending on your child&#8217;s age and swimming ability. Even for children who can already swim, it&#8217;s good to have some kind of flotation aid for longer periods in the water.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget a snorkel and swimming goggles.
