Coolibar makes three items that are fashionable, fit moms of all size, and best of all, offer UPF 50+ protection. The Freestyle Long Sleeve Rash Guard is refreshingly different from the traditional form-fitting styles. It cuts a feminine figure that flatters, but a bit of flare at the bottom makes it loose around the middle. The side zipper stores your phone out of the way of movement and hides behind a fabric cover. This shirt is ideal for paddle boarding, kayaking, and beach volleyball.
Coolibar’s matching Brighton Chlorine Resistant Bucket Hat has a wide brim that, and coupled with built-in UPF 50+, it blocks 98 percent of UVA and UVB rays. It fits comfortably, molding to just about any head size, and folds flat for travel. The Velcro band in the back allows mom to attach sunglasses, keys or anything else she doesn’t want to lose while playing on the beach.
Every mom needs a cover-up, and Coolibar, well, has you covered. The Ocean Drive Cover-Up ties around the waist and lands just above the legs. Wide, billowing sleeves and ultra lightweight UPF 50+ fabric keep mom cool, and a plunging neckline allows a colorful swimsuit to make an appearance. Bonus: this cover-up takes up no space in luggage and dries in minutes.
Don’t forget the sunscreen! VitaSea has got mom covered with sprays, lotions, and sticks, all dermatologist tested and hypoallergenic.
Tankinis are universally popular – technically they are two-piece, making bathroom breaks infinitely easier, but they offer the coverage of a one-piece. Garnet Hill’s Ruched High Waisted Bikini Bottom and Ruched Surplice Tankini Top are sporty and fun. The bottoms provide excellent coverage in both front and back and rise to the belly button. The tankini top features a built-in underwire that offers great support, and adjustable straps help mom find the most comfortable fit. Ruching around the middle provides additional support and a flattering silhouette. The top is long enough to easily skim over the waist of the bottoms. Pick her favorite color or pattern, and per usual with swimsuits, order up one size.
There’s a reason Teva walking sandals are so popular. They are easy to pack, they are solid and provide stability in exactly the right places, and they are so comfortable you forget you’re wearing shoes. If you buy only one pair for mom, stick with the sand or black colors so they blend with and complement most outfits. My favorite aspect of this shoe is the ribbed sole, one-to-two inches of cushioning that massages your feet while you walk. Constructed from the world's leading recycled high-performance fiber created by Repreve, these sandals are so durable and functional that mom will be able to walk the beach for miles.

Moms are always active, but usually their energy goes toward taking care of other people. Whether you have an active beach mom or one who enjoys attending fitness classes or playing a sport, when they’re on vacation, they deserve to take care of themselves. Here are my picks for exercise and wellness gifts that travel well and meet all of mom’s vacation needs.
I grew up vacationing in a beach town called Nags Head on the Outer Banks, the string of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina. My parents did, too — they were high school sweethearts — and their stories about hitchhiking to Nags Head as teenagers in the 1960s and seeing bands like the Drifters perform at the local dance hall were the stuff of legend in my mind. As a kid in the ’80s, I loved climbing the massive sand dunes at nearby Jockey’s Ridge State Park and fishing at Cape Hatteras. So I was excited to learn that this month, Steidl will publish a book of images the photographer Joel Sternfeld took in Nags Head in the summer of 1975. Sternfeld’s weatherworn cottages and roadside snack bars bring back memories real and imagined, and I’ll enjoy reliving them with my mom. The book is currently available for preorder, so, in the meantime, I’m eyeing some other ’70s-inspired gifts for Mother’s Day. Vacation’s Orange Gelée sunscreen is reminiscent of the vintage tanning staple Bain de Soleil, and this portable wine chiller designed in 1978 by Richard Carlson is easy to find on eBay. It fits two bottles of wine. Alternatively, Cann Social Tonic’s zero-proof Roadie pouches, infused with 2 milligrams of THC, travel easily to the beach. And for a nostalgic summer pants set, turn to the Rockaway Beach-based Zingara Vintage. The designer Erin Silvers custom makes her ZingaraTerry loungewear from vintage YSL towels produced in the 1960s and ’70s.
