What To Pack For a Perfect Beach Vacation

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UIC chapter.

Sunscreen

I cannot stress enough how important it is to wear sunscreen! The sun is beautiful, but it can also be very harmful. I promise you’re still going to get your sun-kissed glow when you have sunscreen on but with that glow you’re also protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays!

Sandals/Flip-Flops

This is a must especially if you are going to be walking on the sand! It’s so annoying when you are walking on the sand with sneakers and your feet feel trapped. Sandals help make sure that you’re truly taking advantage of the relaxation aspect of your vacation.

Swimsuit

This one is probably one of the most important musts for a beach vacation. Even if you are not planning to swim, you should still pack a swimsuit because you never know if you’ll change your mind once you see those perfect waves.

Comfortable Clothing

When you’re on the beach, you want to be relaxed and free. So that’s why it’s key to pack outfits that will help you achieve that level of comfort. I recommend opting for loose clothing, flowy dresses, and skirts.
