Pack multiple swimsuits so you always have a dry one. Consider a mix of bikinis, one-pieces, and cover-ups for variety.
2. Sun Protection
Bring high-SPF sunscreen, lip balm with SPF, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat to protect against the sun. A beach umbrella or pop-up tent can provide extra shade.

Lightweight, breathable clothing like shorts, tank tops, sundresses, and flip-flops are essential. Pack a beach bag to carry your essentials.

Pack a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. Bring snacks like fruit, nuts, and granola bars for energy between meals.

Include items like a snorkel set, inflatable floats, and beach games (e.g., frisbee, paddleball). A waterproof phone case can protect your electronics.
7. Toiletries
Basic toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and a hairbrush are essential. Consider after-sun lotion to soothe sun-exposed skin.
8. Entertainment
Bring books, magazines, or an e-reader for relaxation. A portable speaker can provide background music.

Include band-aids, antiseptic wipes, pain relievers, and any personal medications. Consider aloe vera gel for sunburn relief.
