I really like Avon’s Skin So Soft to keep the bugs away. Beaches can be a breading ground for mosquitoes and other pesky insects that can sting or bite. We also pack a lip balm with SPF in it to protect our lips from sun exposure and excessive drying. With the prevalence of sun burns and skin cancer, it’s best to always be armed with a high level of broad spectrum SPF sunscreen (at least 45). Essential Beach ToiletriesĪgain, some things you just can’t go without at the beach.

I prefer flowing dresses that can be pulled on over the top of my suit, or sarong-type skirts to cover my legs. When not in the water, you’ll probably want some sort of beach cover up to wear while walking around the resort or beach. Find one that’s breezy and/or moisture wicking, and preferably has some sort of UV protection. A hat not only protect your face from the sun and shield your eyes, it can keep your head cool too. Beach Hatīeach hats are very nice to have when spending time on the beach. We also prefer to pack two swimsuits, so the second can be worn while the first is still drying from a previous swim. Be sure to find one that fits properly and feels comfortable. SwimsuitsĬlearly you can’t go to the beach without a swimsuit or swim trunks.
