Rent a bike or a golf cart!
Taking a picnic to the back shore or bringing your things to Sand Beach are all easier when you've got wheels! Brad's Bike Rental is across from Hannigan's and golf carts (seasonal) are available by the ferry. http://peaksislandcarts.com

Bring a stroller or wagon
The island is very walkable and kids love to have that freedom, but I found bringing a stroller or wagon really helpful when my kids were little. They could walk as much as they wanted and then hop in the stroller when they got tired.
