Obviously, one of the most important things to bring to a beach is….the beachwear. Your beachwear choices truly can make or break your holiday. Pack at least two or three swimming costumes so you always have a dry one ready.
Lightweight cover-ups are a must for slipping on after a swim, especially if you’re planning on heading from the beach to lunch, dinner, or drinks. Plus, they make you less likely to burn. If it’ll be warm (we hope so!) then breathable clothing like linen or cotton shorts, dresses, and tops will keep you comfortable in the tropical heat.
Comfortable sandals are essential, and water shoes can be a lifesaver if you’re planning to explore rocky beaches or tide pools. In places like Mauritius with coral reefs, water shoes can also stop you from cutting your feet.
Finish it off with a stylish tote bag. They’re perfect for carrying your beach essentials, while reusable bags are handy for packing wet clothes or sandy items. Some totes even have a waterproof section for your wet shoes or costume. Find inspiration for your next beach destination.
When it comes to organising your beach bag, simplicity is key. Include the basics: sunscreen, sunglasses, a water bottle, and a towel. Use reusable bags to separate wet and dry items, and keep valuables like your phone and wallet in a waterproof pouch. A lightweight beach blanket or towel can be rolled up to save space, leaving room for extras like snacks and a book.
