You\u2019re heading out for your beach vacation? Lucky you! Assuming the weather is good, you\u2019ll be soaking in the sun, digging your toes into the sand and maybe catching a few waves on your rented jet ski. All that\u2019s left to do is pack your bags. But how do you determine what\u2019s essential when you can only take one bag? Here\u2019s some advice to help you make the tough choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a rookie mistake to only pack one bathing suit, but chances are you\u2019ll be swimming more than once a day and who wants to put on a wet pair of trunks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sure, you can pick up sunscreen once you\u2019re there, but why put off your first trip to the beach with a detour to find a nearby drugstore? Sometimes the hotel gift shop will sell sunscreen, but you might get charged an arm and a leg. The same is true with lotion. Chlorine and salt water can dry out your skin, and you\u2019ll want to have a good non-comedogenic (won\u2019t clog your pores and make acne worse) lotion to lather on after the shower. If you\u2019re going to a foreign country like Mexico, they may not have your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chances are, you\u2019ll live in your slides, so invest in a comfortable pair that\u2019s waterproof. You\u2019ll also want to take a pair of sneakers for sightseeing or walking the town. Depending on where you decide to go to enjoy the nightlife, you\u2019ll also want a pair of dressier shoes, sandals or moccasins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cargo shorts are a good bet when you\u2019re on vacation because they give you plenty of pockets that button closed. Jeans work for cooler casual nights and khakis can work for day or evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to any t-shirts and polos that you pack for vacation, you\u2019ll need to include a collared shirt (for more upscale nightlife venues) and a sweatshirt and lightweight waterproof or water-resistant rain jacket for weather fluctuations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A hat and sunglasses will help protect your face and eyes from the glaring sun. The waterproof watch will help ensure you\u2019re not late for your flight\u2014even if you forget to take it off before you go snorkeling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
