Children's Bathing Suits for a Beach Day

Get your little one ready for fun in the sun with our guide to the best children's bathing suits for a comfortable, sun-safe beach day.

Children's Bathing Suits for a Beach Day

Planning a beach day with your little one? Choosing the right bathing suit can make all the difference. At Purebaby, our swimwear is more than just cute—it's designed for comfort, sun protection, and all-day play. Whether you're looking for long sleeve swimsuits or 2 piece swimwear, we have a sun-safe option for every little swimmer.

Why Bathing Suit Fit and Fabric Matters

A well-fitting bathing suit helps your child move freely and comfortably whether they're paddling in the water or digging in the sand. Purebaby swimwear is made with UPF 50+ rated REPREVE® fabric, crafted from recycled plastic bottles and other ocean waste. It's breathable, lightweight, and chlorine-resistant—perfect for extended wear at the beach or pool.

One-Piece Bathers & Long Sleeve Swimsuits: Full Coverage Favourites

Long sleeve swimsuits and classic one-piece bathers are essentials for all-day fun in the sun. These full-coverage styles help shield delicate skin from UV rays while keeping little ones comfortable and free to move. With zip closures for easy changing and charming prints kids love, they’re perfect for beach play or swimming lessons. Try standout styles like our Printed Frilly Long Sleeve Swimsuit in Pomegranate Gingham or the Printed Long Sleeve Sunsuit in Fiesta Chameleon Print.

2 Piece Swimwear Sets: Style Meets Practicality

If you prefer mix-and-match flexibility, 2 piece swimwear sets are ideal. Rash vests paired with elastic-waist swim shorts or swim bottoms allow for easy bathroom breaks and quick changes. They're a hit with active toddlers who love splashing, running, and rolling in the sand—our Board Short & Rashie Set in Cancun Print is a popular pick for energetic days out.

Beach Day Essentials to Pair with Your Bathing Suit

Don’t forget the extras that make beach time easy and fun:

  • Sunscreen: Use a child-friendly SPF and reapply frequently.
  • Swim Hat: Wide-brim or legionnaire styles for full head and neck protection, like our Broad Brim Swim Hat in Marine.
  • Wet Bag: To store damp clothing and keep your dry gear separate.
  • Towel: A soft, absorbent towel is a must for drying off post-swim.
  • Water Bottle & Snacks: Keep hydration and energy levels up.
