Beach Packing Checklist
The ultimate beach or pool day packing list for that holiday you know you deserve.
Swimwear Must-Haves
- Your favourite bikini or one piece - you know the one that flatters you in all the right places and makes you feel good inside and out.
- Swimwear options, because switching your swimwear styles to match your outfit is always a good idea.
- Sun-protective rash vest and surfsuits for long hours in the sun while doing water activities or lying on the sand.
- Pool-friendly chlorine-resistant swimwear that's designed to last the distance if spending your days by the pool.
Cover-Ups + Clothing Layers:
- Dress cover-ups and sarongs that add some Mediterranean chic to your swimsuit.
-
Resortwear tops and bottoms that you can layer on top of your swimwear, which can take you easily from beach to bar.
Accessories
- An oversized tote bag that is practical and fashionable, and most importantly, fits all of the essentials - for you and everyone else.
- A wide-brim hat for ultimate sun-protection chic or a packable baseball or bucket hat that is easily slipped in your bag.
- Slides or sandals for when you finally have to wear shoes again.
- Fashion-forward sunglasses to protect your eyes and keep everybody else out.
- SPF 50+ sunscreen because slip slop slap is the Australian way of life.
- Towels for you and everyone else who forgot them.
- Bonus tip - get yourself a beach umbrella because sun protection is no joke.
Style, comfort and versatility are key. Plus sun protection, always.
