I am lucky to live just about an hour’s drive from the beach. Any summer day that we want to have a beach day, we’re not far, but the planning and packing up still has to be done. Before we head out, preparing everyone for a day of fun in the sun definitely involves making sure everyone eats a good breakfast before we go. Or, we at least have something ready to eat that we can grab and enjoy on the way there. That’s where these beach breakfast ideas come in especially handy.
The perfect beach breakfast is filling without being too overwhelming — it’s enough to keep you full until it’s time to open the cooler and break out the PB&Js.
