What to pack for a beach vacation
Start with sun protection, swimwear, sandals, a towel, and a light day bag. Add chargers, documents, medication, and simple clothing that dries quickly. If you are flying carry-on only, use travel-size toiletries and avoid bulky extras you can rent or buy near the beach.
Beach packing tip
Pack one dry outfit in a separate pouch for the return trip. Wet swimwear, sand, and sunscreen can make the rest of your luggage messy fast.
