Does your mom absolutely love the beach? 

The best part about Mother’s day is simply being with mom. And in doing so, being somewhere that she loves. If that’s the beach, then why not head to the beach for the day (or weekend) and spend some quality time together.

Even in mid winter, a lot of good times can be had at the beach. Maybe not in the rain, but pretty much any other weather works!

You may not wish to be heading to the beach for mother’s day but instead looking for the perfect gift to get your beach loving mom.

Either way, there are plenty of ideas here for the beach lovers.

Find A Beach Spot With A View

Mom’s who love the beach will also enjoy views of the beach (not necessarily having to be on it). This is a great option for those that don’t live in a warmer climate over Mother’s day.

A view of the beach can be enjoyed at any time of the year.

Whether it be watching sunrise, sunset, or just enjoying the mid day sun, the view of the beach can be a gorgeous one.

If you know of a cafe that has a great beach view, book breakfast or lunch there with the family.

Otherwise grab a thermos flask or wine glasses and head to a spot when the beauty can be observed. 

Mom’s will love the simplicity of this for Mother’s day.

Beach Trip

A family outing to the beach would be thoroughly enjoyed by a beach loving mom.

Whether that’s just the immediate or wider family, it will be a day that is enjoyed by all. Think about where your mom’s happy place is and plan a trip there.

Pack a picnic, grab the buckets and spades, the beach cricket equipment and head to the beach. 

Family enjoying the beach on mothers day

To make a day of it, don’t forget to make sure everyone is comfortable. That includes taking beach towels, seats and having some shade.

Why not even take the family dog with you, so everyone can enjoy the day together.

If it’s a nice day and you live near the beach, then this is the perfect activity to do on Mother’s day.

Beach Vacation

Perhaps you would like to stay at the beach a bit longer than a day?

A beach vacation could be just the thing you need.

Mother’s day could be the perfect time to get get away for the weekend (or a week). The whole family could hire a beach house and enjoy a beach vacation together. This would be the perfect way for a beach loving mom to enjoy a Mother’s day weekend.

Imagine spending the entire weekend with family who are all there for the same reason. To celebrate mom! 

The beach vacation doesn’t have to be somewhere exotic. It could literally be at your local beach.

The important thing is to gather together, relax, unwind and have a lot of fun.

Mom would consider this to be the best mothers day ever!

Beach Experiences

For the adventurous type of mom, how about looking into some beach experiences for her.

These experiences would also make a great gift idea too.

Horse Riding: This would definitively be an experience that she wouldn’t forget. Riding along the sand and in the waves would be an incredibly experience.

Don’t just send mom off on her own though. Join her in the adventure.

Boat Tour: How about cruising along the coastline taking in the views. Let mom sit back, put her feet up and enjoy the lapping of the waves around her. 

Either take an organised boat tour or why not hire your own.

Sunrise/Sunset Tour: There is something quite magical about watching the sun rise or set at the beach.

If you love spending time with mom and creating magical memories, then this experience would be amazing.

This is a perfect gift idea for a mom who loves to be pampered whilst at the beach.

Scuba Diving: This unique experience is for the adventurous and active moms. It would be absolutely incredible exploring the underwater sea life together.

It would be a mother’s day to remember, if she was to undertake this experience with her close family in tow.

Snorkling: Snorkling is another great way to explore the underwater life, without being quite as adventurous as scuba diving!

There is so much to explore and enjoy without going under the water. Accompany mom on this amazing adventure.

Beach BBQ: If it’s a beautiful day how about hosting a beach BBQ. Take all moms favorite food and cook up a storm on the beach. If it’s cold weather, just rug up warm!

High Tea at The Beach: Do you know of a local beach hotel that offers High Tea?

This could be a wonderful way to enjoy some beach views whilst also enjoying some amazing food.

Best Beach Gifts For Mom

For a mom that loves the beach, it would be perfect to give her a beautiful beach gift. Finding the ideal gift however is not always easy and that’s where we are here to help.

These gifts are sure to be an absolute hit with any beach-loving mom. The beach essentials are covered, plus there is the practical gift and the gift that you just have to get mom.

This is a selection of the best gifts that you can give to your mom.

Beach Cooler: When mom heads to the beach, she will want to take her favorite drinks and snacks. But there is nothing worse than everything getting hot and spoilt. That’s why she needs a beach cooler.

Forget the picnic basket. The best way to keep food and drinks cold at the beach is with a cooler! For hot beach days, a beach cooler is a must.

Beach Bag: An ocean-loving mom will need a beach bag!

Can you have too many? We don’t think so!

A new beach bag will be a welcome gift. Find one in a design that your mom will love and she will think of you every time she hits the beach!

It would also be a great idea to fill the beach bag with some other beach essentials.

Beach Towel: No matter how much you love the beach, most people like to sit on a beach towel. Mom is no different.

If she visits the beach often, then a new beach towel will be a great idea.

There are so many designs, styles, different sizes and different colors to choose from, that it will be easy to find something for mom.

Maybe even add the personal touch of having mom’s name sewn into the towel.

Beach Chair: For the ultimate comfort at the beach, mom needs a beach chair! Ensure that you test it before you buy to ensure that it is comfortable, but also light weight and easy to carry.

Team this with a new beach towel and your beach loving mom is totally set for the day.

Beach Tent: There are so many beach tents available that it is possible to find something that mom will love and enable her to stay at the beach longer.

From pop up tents to larger gazebo type tents, this is something that every beach loving mom needs.

Beach Coverup: Sun smart mom’s will love a new beach coverup. Ensure that it is light weight to keep her cool. Long sleeve is also a bonus.

Sun Hat: If you are confident with mom’s style then a sun hat would be a great idea for her.

Beach Themed Spa Set: Why not buy a gift that will bring the beach to mom even when she is at home.

A spa set that includes a selection of beauty products including a face mask, bath salt, soaps, nail set etc will totally make her day. Something coconut or hibiscus 

Good Book: You can’t ever look past the gift of a good book. Being at the beach is a perfect opportunity to unwind with a novel in hand.

Buy mom a book she will love to read and she will be in her element reading it in the perfect spot.

Water Bottle: A water bottle may sound a bit boring, but it doesn’t have to be. There are so many fun and stylish water bottles on the market now, that gifting a water bottle is a totally fun idea.

Mom will need to stay hydrated at the beach and taking her new water bottle will ensure that she does.

Wine Glasses: Does mom like to have a glass of wine on the beach? Then ensure she has an insulated wine glass! Find a stylish glass that mom will totally love drinking out of.

Water Proof Phone Case: This would definitely be a practical gift for the beach. For a beach loving mom who also likes to take photos, this gift would be a real hit.

Beach Wall Art: Does mom love the beach enough to want to look at it every day?

How about finding her a beautiful piece of beach wall art that she can hang on the wall at home.

Practical Beach Gifts: You could make up a hamper or fill a beach tote with all sorts of practical beach gifts.

This could include sunscreen, after sun lotion, lip balm and even some snacks she can munch on at the beach.

Whether you plan on taking mom on a beach vacation, or to the beach for the day, or simply just purchasing her a beach gift, there are so many mother’s day beach ideas that you can use.

The most important thing to remember is that mother’s day is about celebrating mom.

It doesn’t have to be taking her on an expensive retreat or participating in a fancy beach experience. It doesn’t even have to be about buying her the best beach gift. 

Mom will enjoy watching the sun rise over the sea with a mug of coffee just as much as all the other fancy things on offer.
