What clothes to pack for a beach vacation can be overwhelming and tricky. Here is the ultimate guide for women.

First, a beach vacation is supposed to be relaxing and stressing about the clothes to pack kills the excitement.

However, let’s take a moment and vow to not pack too many clothes!

Secondly, how many days will your beach vacation last? This is important information.

For example , let’s say you’ll be in paradise for 7 full days and two days of traveling.

CLOTHES TO PACK FOR A BEACH VACATION

TRAVELING CLOTHES

You only need one outfit to wear in the airport that can be transitional. Meaning, wearing some of the garments you plan on wearing again during your traveling period.

This could be a pair of denim, athletic shoes, a cardigan as well as your beach tote!

I typically wear the same thing traveling to a vacation and traveling home.

Also, I wear my running shoes while traveling because I like running on the beach. It also saves room in my suitcase and makes traveling more comfortable.

Finally, here are some traveling outfit ideas and other beach vacation clothes.

THE OTHER CLOTHES TO CONSIDER:

Being a native west Texan, 9 out of 10 times I’ll be in my beach clothes. A beach is like seeing a unicorn to me!

However, consider the moments when you dine out for dinner or check out the local shopping.

You might even be the type who enjoys sight seeing and tourist attractions!

What do we wear then?

Anything you want! Just make sure you wear sneakers if you’re doing any hiking to make sure your feet are protected.

I’m not much of an adventure bug, but if I was, a simple tank, some denim or athletic shorts would be my pick.

Here’s an example:

TANK/ DENIM SHORTS/ SNEAKERS/ BAG/ NECKLACE/ EARRINGS/ SUNGLASSES

CLOTHES TO DINE OUT OR TAKE EVENING BEACH WALKS

Dresses of course! All the summer fun maxi, midi or mini dresses! Here are some of my favorites to pay with any sandal or bag.

FINAL THOUGHTS…

So, let’s recap: if you’re going for 3 or more days, you need:

Airport/traveling outfit paired with sneakers.

2 Swimsuits ( at the least).

1 Cover-Up (or 2).

Beach Sandals.

An outfit to explore.

2-3 dresses (or maybe a cover-up can act as an outfit option for a night out).

Beach bag to be your carry on.

Sunglasses.

Hat (optional).

The above is the very minimum in my opinion! Check out other finds below!
