- Sunscreen
Protect your skin from the intense tropical sun by packing a high SPF sunscreen. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen that offers protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Plus it NEEDS to be reef safe!
- Beachwear
Pack an assortment of swimsuits, beach cover-ups, and lightweight clothing suitable for warm weather. If you can, stick with breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. If you are not a fan of the sun or you have a little one with you then you can also get UV rated clothing.
- Hat and sunglasses
Bring a wide-brimmed hat to shield your face from the sun and sunglasses with UV protection to protect your eyes.
- Flip-flops or sandals
Choose comfortable footwear that is easy to slip on and off, such as flip-flops or sandals. They are perfect for walking on sandy beaches. Water shoe's can also be handy if you are not heading to a sandy beach.
- Beach towel
Carry a large, absorbent beach towel for lounging on the sand. Microfiber towels are a great option as they dry quickly and are lightweight.
- Snorkeling gear
If you enjoy snorkeling, bring your own snorkeling gear, including a mask, snorkel, and fins. While some resorts may provide them, having your own ensures a better fit and quality.
- Beach bag
Carry a spacious beach bag to hold your essentials such as sunscreen, water, snacks, a book, and any other personal items you may need for a day at the beach.
- Waterproof phone case
Keep your phone protected from water, sand, and sunscreen by using a waterproof phone case. This way, you can capture beautiful beach moments without worry.
- Portable charger
Ensure you have a portable charger to keep your electronic devices powered up throughout the day. It's helpful for charging your phone or other gadgets when you're away from an outlet.
- Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated is crucial, especially in warm and sunny environments. Bring a reusable water bottle to refill throughout the day and avoid single-use plastic bottles.
**BONUS** Anything important you will require - ID, car and / or house keys, money
Remember to check the specific requirements and recommendations of your resort or accommodation to ensure you have everything you need for a fantastic beach vacation in the Bahamas.
