This page forgets your ticks when you close it. QuickPack keeps them, works out how many of each to bring from your dates, and reminds you before you go.
Three things to know before you pack.
-
Two swimsuits, not one
One is always wet. With two, there is a dry one for the afternoon swim.
-
Sunscreen goes in the suitcase
A full-size bottle is over the cabin limit of 100 ml (3.4 oz) at most airports. Check it in, or buy it when you land.
-
Keep one beach day in your cabin bag
A swimsuit and a change of clothes. If the suitcase is late, your first day is not.
Frequently asked questions
How many outfits do I need for a week at the beach?
Fewer than you think. Plan on a swimsuit and a cover-up for the day and one light outfit for each evening. Four or five tops and two or three bottoms cover most weeks, since beach clothes are easy to rinse and wear again.
What do people forget most on a beach trip?
The small things that cost the most at a resort: sunscreen, after sun lotion, a hat and a waterproof case for the phone. Chargers and travel documents come next.
