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!
