What to Pack for a Beach Weekend

Every summer, George and I make an effort to book a beach weekend. My toes wiggling in the sand and the smell of salt water always seems to refresh my soul! And 30A is only 3.5 hours away from us, so I try to get down there as often as my bank account will allow me. Depending on what you have planned for your beach weekend activities, you may need a variety of outfits (i.e. ice-cream strolls, bike riding, rooftop cocktails, etc.)! This is what I’m packing for our beach weekend this summer.

beach weekend packing list

1. Straw Beach Tote Bag

2. White Linen Pants & Oatmeal Colored Linen Pants

3. Colorblock Maxi Dress (similar here and here)

4. Light Blue Spotted Blouse & Light Blue Spotted Shorts (matching set!)

5. Overnight Bag (w/ gold monogram)

6. Black Midi Dress (similar, here)

7. Exercise Dress (dupe here and here)

8. USA Est. 1776 Sweatshirt

9. Big, bold sunnies

10. My favorite bikinis (not pictured) here, here and here.

And, of course, I always pack a TON of sunscreen. And I’ve started to carry face sunscreen with me when I travel. This little travel size is perfect for adding to your beach bag or sliding into your purse. For my readers … my current beachy read recommendations include People We Meet on Vacation and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. You can’t forget your beach reads!

Also be sure to check out my guide to 30A and what I typically pack in my beach bag. I love the beach. If I could bottle my excitement for the beach and sell it, I think I’d be a billionaire.

Happy summer :)
