Tired of that cold winter weather this season? You probably want to fly to the other side of the world to experience that tropical summer vibe. If that’s the case, you should pack your bags and get ready for your next long weekend of fun in the sun.
From the latest trendy swimwear to tote bags, here is our important packing list for that ultimate beach weekend getaway.
1. Cover-ups
Make sure you pack some beach cover-ups, which you can wear when you are going to and from the shore. If you wish to walk on the boardwalk between swimming or going to restaurants, make sure you wear a cover-up to protect your body from the heat rush.
They are also chic and stylish pieces and can be worn even when you are not at the beach. How cool is that?
2. Swimsuit bottoms
Make sure you pack some swimsuit bottoms that you know you will love wearing. These are not simply bikini bottoms, but these are classic essentials, too.
Do you like something practical with a lot more coverage? Why don’t you opt for swim shorts? If you like something a little playful, try swim skirts.
You can also dress up your beach look by wearing those different bottoms with a gleaming tankini or bikini top.
3. Swimsuit tops
Did you know that a swimsuit top is a must-have for any woman who wishes to mix and match their swimwear? Consider both bikini tops and tankini tops.
You see, tankinis are a happy medium between the more revealing bikini top and a one-piece swimsuit. They provide a fashionable look and the flexibility of a two-piece, along with a little more coverage than the standard bikini top.
If you do not wish to get any awkward tan lines, you can always choose a bikini top. Also, why don’t you play around with different colors, fabrics, and patterns for both the bottoms and tops? You can also pair a bikini top with a lovely floral pattern with bold-colored swim shorts.
4. Rash guards
Rash guards are essential for beachgoers of all ages. Also referred to as a swim shirt, rash guards provide more coverage than swimsuits or swim trunks alone. They are an excellent option for anyone planning on doing athletic tasks at the beach.
What’s more, you will have more protection from the damaging sun, not to mention the swim shirt will stop your skin from getting chafed. Also, you can use your rash guards with short sleeves or full-length, depending on how much coverage you need.
5. Swim trunks
As for what to wear at the beach, you’ll like to get stylish and comfortable men’s swim trunks for your boyfriend. Right? They are versatile enough to work well for a wide array of activities, from jet skiing to boating.
When selecting swim trunks, you need to look for various materials, sizes, and designs, depending on how active you plan on being during the day.
6. Eyewear
Keeping the sun out of your eyes makes it a lot simpler to read a book or even if you simply wish to hide the fact that you are having a quick nap.
Make sure you get some UV protection glasses in your bag. But if you plan to stay in an indoor pool, some bold Wissing frames may complete your look. How cool is that?
7. Beach towels
Do not use the towels you use at home for showering at your beach getaway. As an alternative, you should use designated beach towels.
Keep in mind that beach towels are more likely to be bigger than your go-to towel as they are meant for your whole body to lie down at the beach.
8. Water shoes
Do you plan on swimming in the ocean? You should consider bringing some water shoes with you. These shoes will safeguard your feet from unwanted surprises in deep blue or unexpected creatures.
Since they are often made from flexible and breathable materials, water shoes will help keep your feet cool. After all, no one wishes to step on hot sands when they are on the beach, not to mention you may not like to get sand all over your flip-flops or sandals.
If you have small ones with you, you can also get them some water shoes in case they incidentally step on small sharp shells or some rough materials on the beach.
9. Beach and tote bags
One of the simplest ways to bring all your beach getaway stuff is with canvas beach bags and totes. You can go for a duffel bag, canvas tote, or straw tote. Depending on how many items or heavy you plan on carrying with you, the bigger, the better.
Nonetheless, you may not always need a big beach bag. Often, all you need is a basic tote bag to bring all your things to and from your hotel room to the beach.
10. Hats
Another great way to safeguard your skin and hair from the damaging UV ray is with a chic hat. Hats are not only for accessorizing. They also help avoid sun damage to your hair and keep your lovely face in the shade.
Even if you have a hat covering you, you will still like to apply some sunscreen on your face and the rest of your body.
Whether you are eating lunch, reading a book, or sunbathing, no one wishes to have the sun in their eyes. All that means a beach hot is crucial. Ideal for folding up into your tote bag and safeguarding you from those sun rays, a hat is the perfect addition to have ready to go before you set off.
There you have it! Now you understand what to pack for your beach weekend getaway. You will be all ready for a wonderful and exciting weekend trip. Not just you’ll be comfortable with any of these essential items, but you will also be stylish all weekend long!
