FAMILY FUN AT THE BEACH:

Make sure you’re prepared with great reads, outdoor games, and sand-ready toys for the pup that make for an epic beach day this Memorial Day weekend.

Spend your day getting lost in a book on the beach from Diesel, a Bookstore. They have a wide selection of perfectly curated genres to choose from, including great reads for kids. Take a look at their list of curated summer picks or speak with one of their knowledgeable staff who can help you find exactly what you’re looking for. Not to mention, you will be supporting an independent bookstore when you go. Win, win!

A San Diego tradition for over 40 years— shop locally for toys and games for the beach this Memorial Day weekend at Geppetto’s Toy Store. This family-owned business has Spike Ball, water color changing footballs, Wacky Rackets, and games for a competitive day on the sand. Or, ask for a recommendation— their toy experts are happy to recommend age appropriate toys that are entertaining, engaging, interactive, and lots of fun.

Don’t forget about the beach-loving pup! Your local pet store, Unleashed by Petco, provides a unique selection of toys that will keep your furry friend entertained all day. Grab a Chuckit! ball, Nerf squeak football, or Leaps and Bounds floating water toy and see the smiles from your fetch-obsessed dog all day. Keep the pup safe at the ocean with one of Unleashed’s dog flotation vests or grab the all-in-one BARK Beach Day Kit.

BBQ MUST-HAVES:

Get the essentials because it’s time to take out the grill! Get ready for, and take advantage of, your long weekend with a BBQ in your backyard, picnic, or relaxation along the water.

Jimbo’s is San Diego’s premier natural foods grocer with 100% organic produce. Make hosting easy Memorial Day weekend and grab a fresh, family-sized salad from their salad bar or a made-from-scratch dish from their deli with vegan, vegetarian, raw, and gluten-free options. Before you fire up the grill, get the essentials with Jimbo’s high-quality hormone-free, and free-range selection of meats and seafood.
