  • Clothing
    • Beach clothing should consist of sandals, flip flops or water shoes, sun hats and/or baseball caps, swimsuits or swim trunks (at least two for each person) and beach cover-ups. Swimwear with UV protection is recommended for infants and toddlers. A sarong is also a great idea - as it can double as a skirt, dress, shawl, beach towel, top sheet and a tablecloth.
    • In addition to beach wear, each person should have one pair of clothes for every day of vacation plus a couple extra pairs for emergencies. A jacket and long pants should be included for breezy walks on the beach at night. (Note: most Seaside Vacations homes include a washer/dryer - so you could get by with packing less clothing.)  
    • Shoes - shoes are always tricky as they can sometimes be heavy and bulky. Try to limit yourself to three pairs: a comfortable pair for walking extended distances, a pair of sandals or flip flops and a dressier pair for evenings out. Keep the elements in mind - your shoes may get sandy or damp from ocean water.
    • Don't forget pajamas and underwear! (Note: Don't forget about the youngsters who may require a few extra pairs of underwear.)  
  • Toiletries
    Make a checklist of toiletry items you use every day and refer to the list when you pack your suitcase. Your list should include: toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, body wash or soap, shaving cream, razors, deodorant, make-up, hairbrushes, hairspray, sunscreen and anything else you will use on vacation.
  • Identification and Money
    Make sure you know what kinds of identification will be required on your trip. Your driver's license will be sufficient in most cases if your destination is domestic. It's also a good idea to travel with some cash in case of an emergency.  
  • Medicine
    If you are on a prescription, pack enough medication for your entire vacation. You should also bring extra - enough for another few days - in case your itinerary changes and you need to stay longer. Bring along certain over-the-counter drugs in case you get sick while on vacation. It is easy to pick up a cold while traveling or have allergies flare up in a new city. You might also want to bring something that helps with motion sickness. Aspirin, antihistamines, Dramamine and Tums are all good to have on hand.
  • Emergency Items
    No matter where you will be vacationing, you should have first aid supplies with you at all times. Get travel-sized versions of antibacterial ointment, sterile bandages, sunscreen, motion sickness medication and gauze to carry with you in case of injury. Other emergency items may include a list of the emergency phone numbers in the area and your health insurance cards.
