The Curvy Girl’s Beach Vacation Packing List

PRACTICAL WANDERLUST

This curvy girl’s beach vacation packing list. All 28 essentials on our beach packing list are tried, tested, and plus-size friendly!

Your Favorite Swimsuit

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!

Sun Protection

Going into the ocean? You need to wear reef-safe sunscreen. You know, unless you hate coral, fish, and also all of human life.

Beach Wear

I live in swimsuit cover-ups on beach vacations. I know they’re supposed to go over your swimsuit or whatever, but you’ll catch me wearing them everywhere!

Luggage

No trip is complete without great luggage! We love both the carry-on and medium sized suitcases from Level 8 luggage.

Beach Beauty

Tinted moisturizer is 99% on the makeup I wear on a beach vacation, honestly. It’s sunscreen and foundation in one and I cannot be bothered with anything more complicated than that.

Travel-Friendly Clothes

To stay cool in the heat, look for light-colored clothing (which naturally repels the sun) made from cotton, linen, rayon or viscose, or hemp. Natural fibers are naturally better at temperature regulation!
