Red Equipment's Beach Picnic Essentials

The sun on your skin, salty air, and a full day of enjoying everything that the beach has to offer - there’s no end to the reasons why you might want to head out on your own beach picnic this summer. But the difference between a good beach day and a great one often comes down to what you pack. Our kit makes it easy to stay longer and more comfortable with top-class adventure gear. Here are the Red Equipment beach picnic essentials you’ll want in your kit.

2L Insulated Stainless Steel Canteen Bottle

Hydration is non-negotiable for day trips to the beach. Days out in the sun are fantastic, but you need to make sure you’re keeping yourself refreshed with a cool drink. The 2L Insulated Stainless Steel Canteen Bottle is designed to help you do just that without stopping for constant refills. It has a generous 2-litre capacity that makes it perfect for sharing with friends and family, and you can rely on the double-wall vacuum insulation to keep drinks cold for up to 16 hours or hot for 8. Meanwhile, the condensation-free exterior means no damp bags.

What really sets it apart is the thought that’s gone into its highly practical design. A magnetic lid dock keeps the cap off sandy surfaces while pouring, while the integrated handle and removable shoulder strap make it easy to carry on the move, even when it's full. Built from durable stainless steel, it’s built to handle harsh, sandy and salty environments without wearing down or compromising taste.

Insulated Stainless Steel Adventure Flask & Drinking Cups

Having the right drinkware makes all the difference, and luckily for you, the 330ml Adventure Flask is perfect for morning coffees, chilled juices, or a quick refresh between swims. It’s compact and easy to pack, and brings the same highly durable and fully insulated performance as our larger bottles.

You can pair it with the stackable stainless steel drinking cups for the best possible experience. That way, you’ve got a practical, reusable setup that’s built for outdoor living. They’re ideal for passing drinks around without worrying about breakages. And they stack neatly to save space in your bag, too. By putting these two beach picnic essentials together, you’ve got yourself a simple, easy-to-pack and sustainable alternative to standard plastic cups.

Adventure Quilted Waterproof Blanket

You’re definitely going to want something to sit on as part of your beach picnic essentials list, and the Adventure Blanket delivers comfort without compromise. Sand can be a bit of a nightmare at times, particularly around food, and this will help you minimise that as much as possible while improving your comfort at the same time. The Adventure Quilted Blanket is fully waterproof, sand-proof, and abrasion-resistant, so you can lay it down anywhere from soft sand to rocky shorelines without worrying about damage. The 3M Thinsulate insulation adds warmth and cushioning, making it useful pretty much anywhere.

Soft Waterproof Cool Bag

Built with high-performance closed-cell foam insulation, the Soft Waterproof Cool Bag can keep contents chilled for extended periods. With fully waterproof construction, welded seams, and an airtight zip, you can rest assured that you’ll get zero leaks and zero unwanted sand or water getting in. And it’s been built tough enough for rugged use thanks to abrasion-resistant outer fabric, but it's still lightweight and comfortable to carry on the go with soft handles and a shoulder strap. Inside, the BPA-free, wipe-clean lining makes post-picnic clean-up quick and easy. You can’t find a better cool bag for your beach picnic essentials list.

Towelling Changing Robes

Designed for easy transition into your clothes by the water, these kids and adults changing robes make use of quick-drying materials in a loose poncho design for ease of movement, making it easy to dry off and change without constraint. They’re real beach picnic essentials but also great for other waterside activities like paddleboarding. Whether you’re in and out of the sea all day or need warming up after a dip, a towelling robe keeps you cosy, dry, and always ready for the next adventure.
