What to Pack for a Tropical Getaway

Packing for a tropical getaway requires balancing comfort, sun protection, and local essentials. Start with lightweight, breathable clothing like cotton or linen and bring a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and reef-safe sunscreen for sun protection. Swimwear and a cover-up are must-haves for beach days, and don’t forget water shoes for rocky shores and coral reefs. Consider adding a reusable water bottle, insect repellent, and any beach gear you may prefer, such as snorkeling masks or portable chargers.
