• Trips involving sun and sand top the list of
  favorite vacations. Its easy to fall into the
  habit of over-packing but with a few helpful tips
  and a bit of planning you can travel light with
  everything you need.

3

• Choose a basic color palette for clothing so all
  items work together. Lay everything out before
  packing to see the possible combinations.
• Choose the right accessories and sandals to match
  your clothing options.
• Dont forget to pack toiletries, vitamins, and
  medications!

4

• The most obvious item to pack is swimwear. Bring
  several options to ensure one is always dry.
  Women should pack cover-ups, to wear both on the
  beach and when walking around.
• For your feet, bring flip-flops, sandals, or
  canvas tennis shoes, depending on the type of
  beach you're on. 

5
To avoid over-packing, stick to mostly neutrals
with pops of color. Versatility is key, such as a
tunic cover-up by day that turns into a going-out
top with white pants by night. Costume jewelry
can add evening glamour to a casual sundress. Men
should bring lightweight button-down
shirts. Dont pack more than 3 pairs of shoes and
flip-flops.
6
Pack a mesh or nylon beach bag with pockets to
store valuables and electronics. Electronics
should have waterproof cases. Bring a soft
insulated tote for drinks and snacks. Pack
disposable wipes for easy clean-up. Bring
plastic bags to carry wet swimsuits and towels in
your suitcase.
7
Avoid clothing that's too high-maintenance,
stuffy, or structured. Call ahead to see if
towels and other beach amenities will be readily
available to you. Also ask if items such as
beach chairs or grilling accessories are
included.
8
Bring several bottles of sunscreen for daily use
and to reapply often. If you're traveling to your
destination by plane, look into towelettes that
won't explode or leak. Don't forget protection
for your face with lip balm, sunglasses, and a
hat. In case of overexposure, pack a cooling aloe
vera moisturizer.
9
Bring baby powder to sprinkle on your feet and
sand falls right off. Put a damp washcloth in a
plastic bag and keep it in a cooler for an
instant refresher and to remove sand and
saltwater residue. Bring a key ring to save a
bathing suit in case a hook breaks by threading
the key ring through the loops to hold it
together.
