The Ultimate Beachwear Packing List: What to Take on Your Next Coastal Escape

The Ultimate Beachwear Packing List: What to Take on Your Next Coastal Escape

Whether you're jetting off to the Amalfi Coast, heading to a local tropical hideaway, or planning a long weekend by the sea, packing the right beachwear is essential. The perfect beach trip is carefree—but getting there takes a little smart prep.

Here’s your go-to guide for what to pack so you can stay comfortable, stylish, and ready for anything from sunbathing to sipping cocktails at sunset.

☀️ 1. Versatile Swimwear (Pack 2–3 Sets)

Choose swimwear that’s flattering, functional, and easy to rinse and dry. For men, opt for quick-dry board shorts that double as casual daywear. For women, mix bikinis and one-pieces that can pair with a sarong or denim shorts for a beach-to-boardwalk look.

Our Pick:
Cabana Tropic Board Shorts – moisture-wicking, ultra-light, and built for long beach days.

👕 2. Lightweight Tops & Cover-Ups

Think breathable, layerable, and relaxed. Linen button-downs, cotton tanks, and oversized shirts are ideal. A light cover-up or kaftan keeps you cool while offering some sun protection or modesty when needed.

Style Tip: Choose neutrals and let accessories pop.

🩳 3. Day-to-Night Shorts (2–3 Pairs)

Your holiday shorts should be effortless yet elevated. Go for wrinkle-resistant fabrics and elastic waistbands. Linen, soft twill, or printed cotton work well. Choose a mix of bright patterns and solid tones to match your mood or plans.

Editor’s Pick:
Hawaiian Coast Print Shorts – perfect for beach days and sunset dinners.

👡 4. Footwear That Works for Sand & Streets

You’ll need at least two pairs:

  • Designer flip-flops or sliders for the beach

  • Espadrilles or woven sandals for walking around or going out

Bonus: Consider waterproof soles that dry fast and don’t collect sand.

🕶️ 5. Accessories That Elevate Your Look

The right accessories go a long way without weighing down your luggage.

Don’t forget:

  • Wide-brim sun hat for skin protection and style

  • Polarized sunglasses to reduce glare

  • Lightweight beach tote with inner compartments

  • Statement jewelry or a silk scarf for easy glam

📦 Pro Tip: Pack Light, Pack Smart

Stick to a color palette (neutrals + 1–2 bright accent colors) to make mixing and matching effortless. Most importantly, pack pieces that you feel confident and relaxed in. After all, you’re on holiday.
