What to Pack for Beach?
Packing for the beach is usually the easiest type of packing. But I have put together a few essentials that you do not want to forget on your trip to Hawaii. You can also click the link above to see my complete beach packing list post!
Sunscreen and Lip Balm – Often you can get sunscreen on a beach holiday, but it is usually a lot more expensive than bringing your own. Also if you have a preference on brand or have kids with sensitive skin, you will want to make sure you have the brand you like. If you are heading to a beach close to home, make sure you have a good stock ready at home! For the good of the ocean creatures, make sure you pack reef safe sunscreen! If you want a gret lip balm with SPF to protect your lips, I suggest this one available at Sephoa. You can also get it on Amazon here.
Beach Blanket – This blanket lives in my car all summer long and goes with me on every beach vacation. It is big, light, and folds up with a convenient carry handle. I called it my luxury item in my suitcase as it took up a fair bit of room but we used it every day and it beat those sand mats that you can buy at all of the stores. It comes in from my car every couple of weeks for a good wash!
Baby Powder – One of the popular beach hacks is to pack some baby powder when you go to any beach. When you have sand all over your feet, apply some baby powder and the sand will quickly come off! Beats getting rubbing blisters from the sand between your toes! You can get convenient travel-sized ones here
