Indulge in our favorite beach treats including gummi candies, nuts, and taffy!
A day at the beach calls for plenty of sunshine, ocean views, and, of course, something sweet to snack on. But not every candy is ideal for a trip to the shore. When you’re packing your beach bag, it’s smart to choose treats that travel easily and aren’t as prone to melting in warm summer weather. At Wockenfuss Candies, you’ll find plenty of options that make great favorite beach treats, from classic Salt Water Taffy to colorful gummies and other easy-to-pack candies.
Salt Water Taffy: A Beach Day Classic
It’s hard to think about beach snacks without Salt Water Taffy coming to mind. This chewy candy has long been associated with boardwalks and seaside vacations, making it a natural choice for your next trip to the shore.
At Wockenfuss Candies, you can choose an assorted box or create your own custom selection. Pack various flavors in your beach bag and enjoy a different chewy treat whenever you’re ready for a snack.
Because pieces are individually wrapped, Salt Water Taffy is also convenient for sharing with friends and family.
Pack Some Gummi Candies
Looking for something fruity and chewy? Gummies are another great option for a day at the beach. Their colorful shapes and assortment of flavors make them fun for both kids and adults.
Consider packing Gummi Bears, Gummi Worms, Gummi Butterflies, or Gummi Dolphins for a fruity snack during your beach day. Gummies are easy to portion into small containers or bags, so you can bring along just the amount you need.
They’re also perfect for sharing while relaxing on the sand or taking a break from swimming.
Bring Along Some Licorice
Licorice is another easy-to-pack option for beach outings. Strawberry Licorice Twists, Chocolate Twists, and Shoestring Licorice can add a little variety to your beach snack selection.
Their chewy texture makes them satisfying to enjoy slowly, while their compact shape makes them easy to tuck into a beach bag or cooler.
Try mixing several varieties together for a fun candy assortment that gives everyone something to enjoy.
Don’t Forget Jelly Beans
Jelly Belly jelly beans are another convenient choice for summer adventures. With so many flavors available, you can create a colorful mix that offers something different in every handful.
Pack a Jelly Belly snack bag for yourself or bring along a larger assortment to share with your group. They’re especially fun for kids who enjoy comparing flavors and choosing their favorites.
Add Some Nuts for a Sweet-and-Salty Break
If you want something beyond chewy candy, consider bringing along some nuts. Jumbo Salted Cashews, Old Bay Seasoned Peanuts, Salt & Vinegar Peanuts, or Sriracha & Honey Roasted Peanuts can provide a savory contrast to your sweeter snacks.
For a full day at the beach, a combination of sweet and salty snacks can help keep your beach bag interesting from morning through afternoon.
Tips for Packing Beach Candy
When choosing your favorite beach treats, a little preparation can make them even easier to enjoy:
- Keep candy sealed: Store treats in their original packaging or airtight containers to protect them from sand and moisture.
- Use a cooler when possible: Even candies that don’t melt easily can become softer in direct summer heat.
- Pack individual portions: Small bags or containers make sharing simple and help prevent the entire supply from being exposed to the elements.
- Keep treats out of direct sunlight: A shady beach bag is better than leaving candy on a hot towel.
- Bring a variety: Combining fruity gummies, chewy taffy, licorice, and salty snacks gives everyone more choices.
Make Your Beach Day a Little Sweeter
From nostalgic Salt Water Taffy to fruity gummies, chewy licorice, Jelly Belly jelly beans, and savory nuts, there are plenty of favorite beach treats that are easy to pack for a summer day by the water.
Before your next trip to the beach, stock up at Wockenfuss Candies and create your own seaside snack selection. With various portable candies to choose from, you can spend less time worrying about your treats and more time enjoying the sun, sand, and surf.
