3. Sun Protection & Skincare

Sun protection isn’t just for summer—keeping your skin safe from UV rays is crucial all year. Plus, beach trips often call for some extra hydration and care for your skin.

• Reef-Safe Sunscreen
  Protect your skin (and the ocean!) with a reef-safe sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum protection. Look for travel-sized options to keep your bag light.

• Moisturizing Lotion or After-Sun Gel
  Sun, sand, and saltwater can dry out your skin, so pack a hydrating moisturizer or after-sun lotion to keep your skin soft and refreshed after a day of beach activities.

4. Comfortable Footwear

You’ll want comfy, versatile footwear that suits every part of your beach getaway, from sandy strolls to exploring coastal towns.

• Slides or Flip-Flops
  Pack a lightweight pair of flip-flops or slides for easy beach days. Opt for cushioned soles for added comfort on those longer seaside walks.

• Sneakers
  A pair of lightweight sneakers is perfect for adventures like hiking, biking, or casual strolls around town.

5. Entertainment & Beach Reads

Beach escapes are all about relaxation, and what better way to unwind than with a good book or some soothing music by the water?

• Paperback or E-Reader
  Bring along a lighthearted beach read or load up your Kindle with a few titles. It’s the perfect way to escape and unwind on a sunny, warm beach.

• Travel Journal
  Capture those special moments by jotting down highlights from your trip in a travel journal. It’s a fun way to relive memories and savor the little things.

6. Beach Accessories

Make the most of your beach days with a few essentials that keep you comfortable and hydrated as you soak up the sun.

• Beach Towel or Sarong
  A quick-drying towel or sarong is a versatile beach accessory. It doubles as a blanket, cover-up, or extra layer for staying cozy by the shore.

• Reusable Water Bottle
  Staying hydrated is key, especially in the sun. Pack a reusable water bottle—preferably insulated so you can enjoy cold or hot drinks on the go!

With these travel essentials, you’ll be ready to savor every moment of your beachy winter escape.
