Geneinno S2 Portable Sea Scooter in Use

You crave a relaxing day at the beach, Kindle in hand, while the waves crash beside you. But you might be confused about how you should keep your distance when the shore is packed with people. That’s why today we’re rounding up some excellent beach accessories you can use while social distancing.

First of all, let’s be practical. To ensure that you’re keeping a safe amount of space between yourself and others at the beach, you’ll want to have a look at the CDC guidelines for public beaches. Among other measures, it recommends that visitors stay at least six feet away from people they don’t live with. And it states that you shouldn’t share food, toys, equipment, or anything else with people not in your household. Stuff we’re already used to by now.

In the end, you can still have fun at the beach with your own family or any other family in your social distancing pod this summer. And that’s where these beach accessories come in. With a motorized kickboard for kids, a portable sea scooter that can take you deep underwater, and a jet-powered surfboard, this beach equipment is so fun that you might even forget you’re social distancing. Although try to remember when you’re standing in line for that strawberry daiquiri.
