Are you planning your beach holiday? Whether on an island or in a small town on the Mediterranean coast, packing your suitcase can be complicated if you tend to take too many things. Also, if you are thinking of visiting Port Saplaya from May onwards, the good weather will allow you to enjoy the beach. That is why, from Sea You Apartments we want to give you some recommendations on what to take in your suitcase for the beach .
Our tips for packing for the beach are basic, but we hope they are very useful. We will start, as with any luggage, taking into account our destination in all aspects: transportation, temperature, activities to do, duration, accommodation, etc.
All of these factors are important for several reasons. For example, the size of your suitcase allowed , its weight and even the liquids you can carry will depend on the means of transport.
During these days, you can put in your suitcase those items that you do not use on a daily basis . For example, beach clothes or sunscreen. Leave toiletries for last, since you will probably have to use them at the last minute (the toothbrush).
The amenities you will have access to may depend on your accommodation, for example, if you need to bring shower gel or towels. That way, you can cross that off your list and free up that space in your suitcase.
Once you have that clear, we recommend making a complete list a few days beforehand. During those days, you can put in your suitcase those items that you don't use (beach clothes or sunscreen). However, leave out toiletries like the toothbrush that you will have to use until the last moment.
Our last recommendation may not be to everyone's taste: travel light . Remember that you are going on vacation, so don't make packing a stressful time. Especially if your destination is the sea, there is no need to overload yourself as people always dress in little clothing.
In this section we want to make a basic list of things that we recommend including in your suitcase for the beach. It is a list focused on everything you need for your vacation near the sea. However, as we say, this will depend a lot on your plans and preferences. Take this as an example and adapt it to your needs .
First and foremost, the most important thing in this destination: a pair of swimsuits and clothes to wear on the beach. Here, these can range from sarongs, dresses, or shorts and basic t-shirts for men. Obviously, flip-flops (and some water shoes for rocky beaches) are also essential.
If we're thinking about more functional clothing, don't overcomplicate things. Basic, cool dresses , linen button-down shirts for men, and a couple of more dressed-up looks in case you're going out to dinner. Bring long pants in a cool fabric like linen or cotton (or jeans) and a light jacket in case it gets chilly at night.
As for footwear, some basic sandals that you can wear on a daily basis and another pair of dress shoes. If you are a sporty person, don't forget a couple of sports outfits and some sneakers.
Don't forget underwear and pajamas . We also recommend that you bring a cap or hat to avoid excessive sun exposure on your face. Continuing with accessories, you can't forget to bring sunglasses and jewelry that you like to wear.
To go down to the beach, you will need a bag . We recommend that it be light and versatile and that you use it to carry other things on the way or that you can use if you go on a day trip . Something you may want to bring is a beach towel since, although the accommodation provides them, they are usually for the bathroom.
On the other hand, take a small purse or fanny pack (depending on your style) that you can use when you escape to the city or go out to dinner. We also recommend using it during the trip, for your most precious belongings (passport, wallet...) to prevent them from getting lost (of course, don't check them in).
Nowadays, other essentials are chargers and electronic devices such as tablets or e-books. Also, all the leisure items you like the most: snorkeling kit, beach paddles, sports camera, a book, etc. If you travel with children, remember to take everything they might need such as tissues, bottles, wipes, etc.
Finally, it's time to talk about your toiletries bag. Don't forget the following: sunscreen (face and body), aftersun and moisturising cream, toothbrush and toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner, deodorant, mosquito repellent, make-up and make-up remover. We also recommend taking a mini first aid kit with paracetamol, stomach protector, plasters and anti-chafing stick.
