Essentials to Pack for the Beach
Rental condos and houses often only supply the bare essentials. Thankfully these days, you’ll almost always find a coffee maker and blender! To meet your needs during your vacation, consider packing or buying the following items to make your stay more comfortable.
- Coffee filters
- Salt, pepper, staples, and favorite condiments
- Dishwashing liquid and a sponge
- Extra dishwasher detergent
- Paper towels and napkins
- Zip-top bags. Essential for leftovers and packing sandwiches and snacks for the beach.
- Aluminum foil and plastic wrap
- Garbage bags. You can never have enough of these.
- Laundry detergent. With three children, I do laundry at the beach!
- Regular-size bar soap. Those small bars don’t do the job.
- Shampoo and conditioner
- Toilet paper
- Hangars
- Beach towels
- Beach chairs and umbrellas. Depending on where you stay, rentals may or may not be available.
- Extra ice!
