What to Pack for an Epic Beach Vacation

PRACTICAL WANDERLUST

This is a curvy girl’s beach vacation packing list. These essentials on our beach packing list are tried, tested, and plus size friendly!

Need some help packing for your next adventure? Here's how to dress comfortably and pack light with my favorite tried & true beach essentials!

Essentials Clothing for the beach

A comfortable swimsuit, cover-up, wear-anywhere sandals, biker shorts, swim leggings, and your favorite light and airy dress.

Your swimsuit is THE most important thing on your beach trip packing list.

So make sure you get one that fits, supports, and makes you feel like the goddess you are!

Cute romper

One item of clothing equals one whole outfit - and absolutely no chub rub! A lightweight, comfortable romper is a must-have for your beach vacation.

The Dress

The Dress is the one in your closet that makes you feel adorable, comfortable, airy, and free. It’s the dress you can throw on with a pair of sandals and have a complete outfit ready to go.

Swim Leggings

Swim leggings provide full-coverage sun protection while letting you move underwater without restriction. Quick-drying swim leggings are designed to hold up in saltwater and chlorine!

Reef-safe sunscreen is designed to biodegrade and not harm ocean life. It’s actually required by law in some destinations, including Hawai‘i.

Mineral Sunscreen Lip Balm

Don’t forget to protect the delicate skin on your lips from sunburn, too!

Bring a cute backpack for  snacks, a couple of jackets, a travel umbrella, cameras, phones, water bottles, and whatever you might need for the day.

The compartments help me stay organized, it’s easy to hang up in a hotel bathroom, and it packs up into the perfect size to throw into my suitcase and go!
