Ready for your next beach adventure but not sure what to pack?  Check out these great tips on what to pack for your next beach vacation.  Make sure to check out a few of our featured beach retreats below and book your stay today with BEACH RETREATS FMB.

If you plan your wardrobe out in advance, you are far less likely to overpack or forget a key wardrobe item behind. Preferably, try on the items you would like to pack two weeks in advance. If it’s for Spring Break, just consider this your seasonal “what fits” time that we all have to go through. Try on your white jeans, white tees,  dresses, skirts, bathing suit and coverups. Look them over carefully and make sure that white tee doesn’t need to be replaces (it likely does!). If you need to purchase anything, you’ve got two weeks. If you are down to only three days out … far better than three hours out! Remember these travel necessities, but also know a drugstore is never far away:

• Travel size toiletries
• Stain remover wipes
• Feminine hygiene needs
• Cosmetics/skincare
• Medicines if needed
• Download, borrow or buy a good beach book
• Consider leaving sunscreen and magazine purchases for the beach
