- ~ Sandals or Flip flops ~
Apparently we aren't supposed to call them thongs anymore. - ~ Sarong or Pareo ~
These brightly patterned lengths of fabric are around 3 feet X 6 feet (size varies) . The lowly sarong scores super high in our double duty category.
You can often buy these on the beach and if you've been on a beach vacation before, chances are pretty good that there's one in your closet. If you have one (or two) pack them.
They'll come in handy as a swimsuit coverup, skirt, dress, beach blanket, table cloth, privacy curtain, sun shade, light blanket, etc.....and they'll ask for very little space in your luggage in return. - ~ Dry Bag ~
Dry bags are designed to float and keep water out. A small dry bag keeps cameras, paperbacks, smoking materials, etc. dry if you'll be sailing or boating.
Medium holds a pareo, a towel, sunscreen, water bottle, camera etc. if it's big enough it can double as the beach bag. It even doubles as an ice chest in a pinch. - ~ Beach Bag ~
Beach Bags are flaunting some serious funk these days. A roomy bag to carry all your beach essentials in is a must. Pockets inside (or out) help keep small things organized and handles that are big enough to put over your shoulder make it a breeze to carry. - ~ Zip Lock Bags ~
for shells and beach glass and other tiny treasures. - ~ Hair Accessories (for the girls) ~
You'll probably want to put your hair up on hot days and sultry nights. Speaking of hair, check out this Fabulous Hair Site and pick up some new ideas to try while on vacation.
Have You Got Crocs Yet?
You'll see lots of Crocs wearers on your beach vacation.
With a smile on their face, colorful sponge footwear (you can't miss it) and a bounce in their step (how could they not with all that sponge underfoot?)
They feel so fun on my feet I must get another pair. Let's see... turquoise? pink? orange?....maybe 2 pair...
For beach shoes galore, funky shades and beachy apparel, check out Island Surf.
