If you’ve got a tropical vacation coming up, first of all, I’m jealous. And second of all, it’s time to start doing some vacation prep.
After you’ve fake-tanned and removed unwanted body hair, it’s time to start thinking about packing your suitcase. As someone from Florida, I know a thing or two about the heat and humidity, and I can tell you that tropical climates call for a very specific packing list, especially if you want any chance at beating the heat.
Luckily, I did you the favor of rounding up all of my warm-weather must-packs that will help you keep cool on your upcoming tropical getaway, from the beach to the rainforest.
Whether you’re heading out on a road trip for a family beach vacation or hopping on a flight to relax in a tropical destination, consider this your ultimate guide to packing for your next tropical vacation.
Sun protection is a must-have for any beach day, so obviously, we included plenty of sunscreen options, including a handy face stick with SPF that makes reapplying a breeze. Another beach vacation essential? A cover-up to throw on top of your swimsuit and a good sun hat to keep your face out of the sun.
If your tropical vacation includes a road trip, we recommend bringing a cooler, like the backpack one included from Corkcicle, as well as a good beach chair. The one we found even reclines—talk about luxury!
Ready for your tropical getaway? Don’t forget to pack these must-have essentials to help you fully enjoy your vacation.
