Are you planning your beach vacation packing list? In this blog post, I’ll be sharing the
Top 5 Beach Essentials
that must be on your carry-on bags for a sunny trip. These are my 5 essentials I always pack for a pool or beach vacation.
1. Protective phone case for direct sunlight
This phone case protects your phone from overheating at the beach.
Learn from me in Houston getting Vitamin D by the sea. After 20 minutes without this case your phone automatically shuts off to protect your phone from overheating.
And the case prolongs your phone’s battery life in direct sunlight.
I love the NASA astronaut suit fabric and that it fits my iphone 14. But if you have a bulky phone case, size up to the large.
2. Full Coverage Bathing Suit Bottoms
I prefer my cheeks not see the sun when I am at the beach and have been covered for 4 years with these tankini swimsuits. They also are available in one piece and bikinis.
I am a size 10, 5’8″ and size Large fits great!
I am holding the third beach packing list essential:
3. Sunscreen for Your Scalp’s Thinning Hair
The spray is not sticky or like hair spray! It protects your scalp in the sun while at the beach all day…on vacation again.
I originally got this scalp sunscreen for my husband’s thinning hair.
4. Beach Bag With Pockets
This small wet bag that comes in a set of 4 is specifically for the beach in my opinion. They are just the right size! For a Spring Break trip, it made my top 10 list to pack.
Pack your phone and reading glasses in one pocket with no sand.
Beach essentials like a book, key card, sunscreen, towel clips, and your fruity drink cup condensation sand separater can go in the larger pocket.
Hose it out when you return home.
5. Beach Shoes with Support
Just this trip I realized how much pavement is at beach resorts.
You actually walk alot while at a beach resort. Tile and pavement is everywhere.
Trust me when I say you will need supportive shoes! . Strong velcro does not let your foot slip around either.
And in Hawaii you may have to walk across the street just to get to the beach!
Need a Waterproof Sandal NOT for the Pool
This sandal is actually waterproof but is not meant to be worn as a beach shoe. I would wear this . Or you could wear them in the airplane.
It is NOT a pool shoe, but I tested it by wearing it with my swim cover up and stepped in the resort pool. They are !
Travel Tip for Beach:
Pack band-aids since you have not worn these shoes in many months!
Travel Hack for Crossbody Bag:
Tuck the strap of your crossbody bag into the purse for a clutch look one night.
This newest straw beach bag is such a smooth fabric. It can be dressed up with the included bangle strap or the fabric strap. The beach trip purse also comes with 4 pairs of tropical earrings.
