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?
