We know that traveling to a new destination can be very exciting, and the Emerald Coast is no exception. With its gorgeous blue waters, soft white sands, and endless things to do, it’s a stunning place to take a vacation! Be careful though; you might be so thrilled to visit the Emerald Coast that you forget to pack certain things! Don’t worry though, our team at El Matador is here to help! We’re experts on what to pack for a week vacation at the beach.
You don’t have to wait until right before you leave to think about what to pack for your vacation, though! Planning ahead can help you feel fully prepared for your Fort Walton Beach vacation. It’s too important to leave to the last minute!
Remembering to pack the little things will help prevent unnecessary spending on your next trip. We’ve put together a checklist of some of the most important things to remember on your next stay at our Fort Walton Beach Condos.
What to Pack for a Week Vacation at the Beach:
Umbrella
Believe it or not, sometimes it rains in Florida. Even if you see a clear weather forecast, you never know when there could be an unexpected pop of rain. Even if you end up not using it, having an umbrella is always a grea idea.
Chargers
Chargers for your devices are very important to bring. You don’t want to end up in an unfamiliar area with a dead phone battery! Remembering them will save you time and money; chargers are certainly an item that may cost you twice as much when you’re in a pinch.
Sunglasses and Sunscreen
These are a must in Northwest Florida, especially in the summer months! The last thing you want is to have your sunny beach day turn into an angry red sunburn. It’s painful and bad for your health! Wearing sunscreen is the best way to prevent paunful sun damage, and sunglasses will protect sensitive eyes from powerful rays.
Prescriptions and Painkillers
Of course, it’s essential to bring any medication you may need along with you. That would be a real headache to forget! Speaking of headaches…painkillers are just a bonus since you don’t know when an ache, pain, or headache will arise.
Cash
Cash is king! Avoid paying high ATM fees while on vacation. Bring cash before hand for any situations that may come up during your trip. Most places these days take card for payment, but you might just find the perfect hole-in-the-wall diner, only to find out they’re cash-only. Make sure you can be open to all experiences on your trip!
Swimsuit
Whether you’re going for a dip in the ocean yourself or you just want to sunbathe, bringing a bathing suit along is essential for a week at the beach! Don’t get caught on the shore when you want to be splashing in the waves!
