Deciding what to pack for a beach vacation can be tricky. In the pre-trip excitement, it’s tempting to throw as many cute summer pieces into your suitcase as you can, especially if it’s been a while since you’ve had a proper getaway (hello, hi). But no one really wants to lug overstuffed baggage through an airport, into an Uber, on a plane, and then back again–so packing light and smart is important. That’s of course where a vacation packing list comes in handy.
There are a few pieces that should always be on your beach packing list, no matter where you’re headed. Aside from necessities like toiletries and maybe your passport, you’ll want to stock your travel wardrobe with a few multitasking must-have clothing and accessory picks. These are the types of items that can be mixed and matched, dressed up or down, and worn from beach to town.
Because unplugging for a few consecutive days should be both stress-free and stylish, we’ve curated a packing list for beach vacations that you can use now and keep for later. From breezy frocks to woven straw extras, these are the key items that will ensure you look great whether you’re sipping an umbrella drink on the sand or stepping out to dinner.
