What to Pack for a Beach Holiday: 10 Essentials You Won’t Want to Forget
1. A Towel Changing Robe
A towel changing robe is one of the most useful items you can pack. Perfect for drying off after swimming, getting changed discreetly and staying comfortable between dips in the sea, it’s ideal for adults and children alike.
Our recycled towel changing robes are lightweight, quick drying and made from recycled materials, making them perfect for beach holidays.
2. Waterproof Dry Bag
A waterproof dry bag keeps wet swimwear separate from the rest of your luggage while protecting valuables from sand and water.
Whether you’re paddleboarding, kayaking or simply spending the day on the beach, a waterproof dry bag is one of those items you’ll use every day.
3. Waterproof Changing Robe
Even in summer, the weather doesn’t always cooperate.
A waterproof changing robe is perfect for cooler evenings, windy beaches and unexpected showers. It’s also ideal for early morning swims and walks along the coast.
4. High SPF Sunscreen
Protecting your skin should always be a priority.
Choose a high-quality sunscreen and remember to reapply throughout the day, especially after swimming.
5. Reusable Water Bottle
Staying hydrated in the sun is essential.
A reusable water bottle keeps drinks cool while reducing single-use plastic.
6. Flip Flops or Beach Shoes
Protect your feet from hot sand, stones and shells with comfortable footwear that’s easy to slip on and off.
7. Sunglasses & Hat
A good pair of UV sunglasses and a cap or sun hat make long days at the beach much more comfortable.
8. Beach Games
From paddle bats and frisbees to footballs and bodyboards, keeping everyone entertained makes every beach trip even better.
9. Snacks
Healthy snacks and a cool bag can save expensive trips to the beach café and keep everyone happy throughout the day.
10. A Large Beach Towel
A beach towel is still essential for relaxing in the sun, even if your towel changing robe does most of the drying afterwards.
