The Ultimate List of Things to Pack for the Beach; The Essentials

Let’s start with the essentials. First, the light. Light clothes to bear the heat, a light jacket for cold nights, light chairs, and light towels that won’t grab the sand. I suggest you keep the outfit list to a minimum. So it will be easier to carry. And a pair of jeans that suits at least two tops will be enough.

Then, sun protection! Don’t forget to pack enough sunscreen. I want to highlight the word “enough”. According to my experience, you will always need sunscreen more than you think. And don’t forget the after sun care. I recommend you seal these in a reusable plastic bag to avoid mess.

Next thing, toiletries. Don’t pack the whole tubes and tubs. Just use travel-sized toothpaste and deodorants to save space. When considering makeup, only pack the essentials. That is because you don’t need much due to the heat and humidity.

Don’t forget to pack hair care items like detangling spray and a good hairbrush. Additionally don’t hesitate to twist up or clip your hair. And that will minimise the frizz from the sea salt spray. ReadMore: How To Protect Yourself Against Cybercrime?

The Beach Packing List

Now let’s move to the packing list.

• Swimsuits Give priority to comfort when laying out and playing beach games.
• Cover-Ups Always embrace light clothing. Just select the ones you can wear around the resort with confidence.
• Sunglasses Go for a glamourous and a practical pair.
• Hats Becuase sunscreen alone won’t do the job.

• Sleepwear You can select as you wish. I personally choose the sleeveless ones to feel the waves and wind.
• Casual Shirts Beach doesn’t need fancy. Go for casual and cute ones.

• A light jacket Keep warm in the chilly nights at the beach. Or a wrap.
• Jewellery Just add some spice to your outfits. Just don’t pack anything valuable.
• Beach bag I suggest you to consider a straw beach bag for pack your things. Plus it lays nicely in a suitcase.
