Packing For Beach Vacation

Packing for a beach vacation shouldn’t be hard, so we’ve put together a packing list to help, and included some of our favorite items as well. The Mexican Caribbean is an enchanting wonderland of relaxation and adventure. With endless miles of beaches, turquoise waters, jungles and more, one can easily have the trip of a lifetime. We hope you enjoy!

Multi chargers reduce weight in your bag and free up limited hotel outlets. Be sure to get one with multiple ports for your various devices. One of our favorites is this multi-charger from industry leader Anker. It has all the ports you’ll need for your phones, tablets, and e-readers in one portable package. Ah, sweet, sweet simplicity.

Whether you’re going to be on a long daytrip to Chichen Itza or a long day at the beach, having extra power for your phone and USB devices is a must these days. This slim powerbank easily fits in your pocket, but there are a wide variety of portable chargers for you to choose from.

Tired of the same pool bar music playing over and over? Why not bring your own soundtrack with you. Bluetooth headphones have gone waterproof so don’t fret about getting tossed in the pool or getting caught out in a warm tropical rain. The Jabra Elite 7 Pro is the top rated model out there these days, but there are waterproof earbuds available at all price ranges.

Going to the pool or going to the beach, why not bring your music along! Bluetooth speakers are great to listen to music in your hotel room and on your balcony. Waterproof versions offer the perfect versatility in the islands! Our favorite is the Wonderboom 3 which is best in class for portability to audio quality ratio. You can get a travel case for it as well.

Tablets or E-readers are great for hanging by the pool and relaxing or taking your favorite book or tv show to the beach! We love Samsung tablets and Apple Ipads for weight and power. If you’re a reader, the waterproof kindle paperwhite is an excellent way to entertain yourself as you work on that tan. The battery in it lasts for weeks and the backlight is adjustable for sunshine.

There are tons of great options for cameras that can join you on your island adventures. While the GoPro Hero is the best action camera for video and has gazillions of available accessories to play with, many people find that it’s not ideal for taking still photos outside the water. The Olympus Tough cameras are hugely popular and take great pics in and out of the water, offering excellent versatility. Don’t feel like getting a camera? How about a waterproof housing for your smartphone.

Things get lost or stolen on vacations. Such is the nature of the world. Why not protect the important stuff with Bluetooth trackers! Put one in your luggage, your purse, your beach bag or whatever. If it gets stolen or accidentally left behind, you can track your item with an app on your phone! Iphone users would want to get AirTags, while Samsung users can get Smarttags. Tile is a universal brand as well.

These days, we have all realized how important it is to protect the ocean’s ecosystems and the natural waters of the earth. Using an eco-friendly, reef-safe sun lotion is a great way to do just that. This mineral sunscreen is the safest and most popular, but there are many other choices available.

You might not think about it, but lips can get sunburnt fast in the tropics and make your life miserable. Using tropical flavored, sun protecting lip balm will make your vacation a lot more enjoyable… and delicious. This selection from Sun Bum is hugely popular.

A great way to protect your skin, especially while snorkeling, kayaking or paddleboarding, is to get a UV-blocking swimsuit. They come in both short and long sleeve versions and as one piece, two piece or stand-alone swim shirts. This is a trendy and popular model and comes in a wide assortment of patterns and lengths so you can find one that fits your style.

Lightweight sandproof bach blankets are all the rage these days. Compact and under a pound, they’re easy to throw in a beach bag and take wherever you go. Most include 4 small stakes and have sewn-in corner pouches (to fill with sand) that keep the blanket in place, even in wind. Unlike putting towels directly on the beach, these blankets don’t absorb water and sand just rolls off. This is a very popular larger model, but there are numerous sizes and styles to choose from.

Heading to the beach for the day, or setting out on a boat trip to nearby islands? Keeping your stuff together in a beach bag is the way to go. Choose from stylish cloth bags, lightweight travel beach bags, tropical rattan beach bags or bring an ultralight packable backpack if that’s your style. Whatever you decide, beach bags will make your vacation so much more convenient.

If you’re heading somewhere with reefs or tropical fish, bringing your own snorkel set can be very convenient. Renting equipment can cost $10-$20 a day and isn’t always well maintained or hygienically cleaned. If you just want to keep it simple, this mask and snorkel set is hard to beat. Want to spend more time in the water? This great set comes in several colors and includes a dry snorkel, open-heel easy-on fins and an adjustable mask. Some people prefer full face masks, but they can be a bit more cumbersome.

Let’s be honest, you plan on spending a good majority of your time in sandals or flip flops. Having good ones is critical. Rainbow makes the best leather sandals period. They may feel a little snug for the first couple of days, but they will soon form to your feet and become an irreplaceable part of you. We also suggest bringing a lightweight colorful pair of flip flops for fashion statements.
