How I Feed People On A Beach Vacation.the guide to beach vacation lunches & more, plus how it all comes together.
If you spent most of your teens and 20s in bootcut jeans and a “going out top,” then you’re probably wondering right now what the heck to feed your family at the beach. Like I am! This has been something I’ve done a ton of trial and error on over the years.

There are a few things I make at home and freeze then travel with (if we’re driving, of course) because it’s just easier to do it at home. I’m also not always sure what the vacation rental will have in terms of kitchen tools. And while there are a few things we take regardless (Eddie likes to take a blender, I always take a big lazy susan serving dish, the kids bento boxes, etc), I don’t want to haul a ton of ingredients and tools. Nor can I fit them in our car. Of course the below goes without saying: we always have tons of salty snacks, fruit, veggies, dip and bars on hand for our trips.
