Most forgotten
What people forget to pack
A second swimsuit
A swimsuit rarely dries overnight, especially in humid places. Two means you never put on a wet one.
After-sun
Even with sunscreen, the first day usually goes too far. After-sun makes the second day bearable.
A dry bag
For your phone and keys on boats, kayaks and wet days.
A light layer
Air-conditioned restaurants, evening breezes and the flight home.
Questions
Beach holiday packing, answered
How many swimsuits should I pack for a beach holiday?
Two is the sweet spot: one to wear while the other dries.
What sunscreen should I take?
SPF 30 or higher, water resistant, and reef-safe if you will swim near coral. Reapply after every swim.
What should I wear in the evenings on a beach holiday?
Pack one or two smarter, light outfits for dinner, plus a layer for breezy terraces.
Do I need a plug adapter?
It depends on the country. Check the plug type before you go.
