Weekend Beach Trip | Three Essentials to Pack

• What to pack for a weekend beach trip
• Beach bag
• Sundress
• Swimsuit
• Flip Flops
• Beach packing list essentials

Sandy toes, salty hair and the smell of sunscreen; nothing says sweet summertime like a long weekend at the beach. Don’t let the thought of packing weigh down your weekend. Grab your duffle bag and keep scrolling for an essential list that will make packing easy breezy!

When it comes to a weekend at the beach it’s all about color and comfort. No dark or bulky layers necessary for fun-in-the-sun. These three must-haves are bright, light and versatile for any beach trip.

A Sundress

When spending a weekend at the beach, choosing what to wear should be easy (the ocean is calling)! A sundress looks put together, slips on easily and works for daytime or date night. If you’re planning for an action-packed day, there’s no time to waste on outfit changes; opt for something with built-in sun protection, bold colors and quick-dry fabric. My favorite? The Cabana Shift Dress.

A Stylish Swimsuit

With only a few days at the beach, there’s no space for boring or impractical swimwear. For a multifaceted, versatile swim style try a colorful one-piece suit. A one piece is flattering, supportive and stylish in or out of the water. Throw on a pair of wide-leg pants to sport your suit as a bodysuit or a pair of shorts for the perfect tank. I love the One Shoulder Mio One Piece for the perfect blend of fashion and function.

A Fun Flip Flop

No beach bag is fully packed without the perfect flip flop. Flip flops are an iconic, warm weather staple but not all pairs are made equally. These summer sandals have come a long way from the original rubber thong–fast forward to shock absorbing soles and comfortable fabric uppers. Our Wahine Sandal is handcrafted in Hawaii with style, comfort and versatility in mind (available in multiple stylish patterns)!
