Packing List for My Beach Vacation

It is the day before our beach vacation. I have a beach packing list for you. If you are taking a road trip to the beach or flying with a carry-on like we did, this packing list will help you take just what you need for your summer vacation! I also packed in my personal item bag. This trip I packed in this weekender type duffel bag that will go under the airplane seat. #beachtip #packinglistforbeach #packingtips

[@janicehendrix4496]

I love your channel! Best tip I have is to take a small travel container of baby powder. Sprinkle on your feet when you are done at the beach and sand disappears from your feet!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Great tip! I keep forgetting this one; are you the one who told me this years ago? Thank you for watching!

[@reneleeper7296]

I have used the flat nylon drawstring back packs as my beach bag before. Take up no room at all in your suitcase.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Smart one! Thank you for watching!

[@nicolemathieu1650]

This is one of my favorite of your videos to watch before I go on a beach trip! Your enthusiasm is infectious! Thank you!

[@judywelday9387]

A good laugh that our travel gal makes the wrong reservation, too funny! Thanks for the great tips as usual and have a great time at the beach!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Haha and I have now done this twice! This first time; we just ate the cost. Just follow my tips not my booking haha. Thank you for watching!

[@nicolemathieu1650]

I love to bring a few pattern tops with solid color shorts to mix and match ! Makes packing a breeze !

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

It truly does! Thanks for watching this old video. Could you let me know what you searched for in order for this video to pop up? I want to make an updated one and need to know words people are searching for. Thank you!

We felt fine going last week. I feel safer on the plane than in a grocery store. Thank you for watching!

[@annestephenson1548]

More great tips Laurie ! Thanks

[@_musiclover_]

Great tips! Thanks!

[@sandrapaul4828]

Thanks for all these tips Laurie. I can't wait to be able to travel again, my family is all in Italy in Tuscany, Florence to be more exact and me and my husband are in Canada. We usually spend our summer vacation time with them but this year we hope we will be able to travel without having to do 2 weeks quarantine each ends. I mentally did my luggage watching what you picked and the way you pack it. THanks again.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh, how I hurt for you as well. It's so frustrating. Both countries are so beautiful. Thank you for watching!

[@leilaarcena7134]

Thank you once again Miss Laurie

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thank you for watching!

[@phillipmoodie9071]

Laurie, watching your preparation for going to the Beach made me appreciate a major difference between our countries, when the majority of the population live along the coast, with the largest Capital Cities, Melbourne and Sydney facing beautiful harbours. Sydney CBD highrise buildings provide views to a coast about 10 miles away, where Bondi and Manly have world famous surf beaches sitting alongside the entrance to Sydney Harbour, while Melbourne sits at the north end of Port Phillip Bay, like Sydney, it has World class surf beaches sitting alongside the entrance to the Bay. No one packs to go to the beach, other than a bag for the sandwiches, wrapped in a beach towel. Enjoy your "Expedition" and the swim. Phil.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Major culture differences. Since we flew, I did pack.

[@cucar8363]

Very practical advice. Thanks!!

[@mereshupe]

Helpful tip to prevent putting on a cold suit if your bathing suit is wet from wearing it earlier in the day......run it under the tub/shower faucet and warm it up with warm water. Way easier to put back on! You always have amazing tips!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Mind. Blown. I will definitely use this idea!! Wow!

[@nuvoclassic]

I take 2 DIY two-piece swimsuits to avoid wearing a wet swimsuit. A tankini halter top, and a convertible bandeau bra top. FOr bottoms, swimming brief and swimming cargo shorts with built-in brief and pockets. I wear the (dry) briefs on travel day as panties.

[@TheresaWagar]

Oh I love the towel clips. They’re such a lifesaver on a windy beach. One thing I always bring is my Nook. I can’t read my iPad easily on the beach, but the paper white on my Nook is crystal clear even in the bright sun. And isn’t reading a good book why we go to the beach? Have a super time!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh, good to know! I didn't know that. Thank you for watching!

Well, hubby took a 40% pay cut and 5 months off so we're going where allowed and being smart. Thank you for watching!

[@Teresa-K]

Hi Laurie, You always have the best tips! Thanks for including where to get items you mention. Love the floating head strap for sunglasses. I once lost my Ray Ban aviator sunglasses while I was out in the water on a beach vacation. A while later while walking on the beach they washed up on shore right at my feet!!! I couldn’t believe it!!! A miracle!! Have a great 4th of July and wonderful beach vacation! Much love and happiness, Teresa.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I think it's so helpful especially if you have toddlers haha. Thank you for watching!

[@crystalfolse3208]

Like the idea of standing packing cubes up😎Thanks for your Sunshine Smile 😀

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Hi Crystal. I actually found out that laying them horizontally opens up more space!

[@ecppce1]

Some great ideas!! We didn’t get to go last year .. duh lol but we still have a little over three months but I’m always checking and preparing. I had a packing list and now can’t find it lol thanks for the help!!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thank you!

[@jessicakent4265]

What great ideas! Thank you! I've watched many videos now because I'm a Coloradan going to the beach. Its not a natural environment for me. 😁 I found a couple more good ideas from you. Woo hoo!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh wonderful. Do not miss my newer videos about packing. I have one I am making soon about how to pack for a warm climate when it's freezing at your home.

[@tomgoheen1]

I prefer a full on shoe while air traveling so my feet are protected. The shoe liners that are terry on top and a sisal underneath are fantastic...washable (fast drying), comfortable, and can last for years!

[@omhomelin]

Icloth! Brilliant!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

And now I usually pack Peeps for reading glasses but the cloths for anywhere near sunscreen.

[@nuvoclassic]

I keep coming pack to this video! On my road trip for this long weekend (8/4/22), I'm going to WEAR my 'hangout' pants - they're thin gray drawstring joggers with pockets! Underneath I'm going to WEAR my cotton blend black bike shorts. Over both I'm wearing my fave cotton-gauze coverup/ sundress. This trip will be an experiment. I'll also wear these to the hotel lobby breakfast in AM, sightseeing, show, sleeping - whatever. (room service hasn't started at this new hotel yet). I'm using packing cubes and pouches for carrying in my straw beach bag (like a carry-on). I'm wearing my mini daypack with 2 tiny pouches packed in it (like a personal item). I'm wearing my fanny pack and also my crossbody bag. I don't want to be an overpacker anymore. I got my packed clothes down to 8 items [does not include chloths that I 'm wearing] But I'm a PLUS Size so they take up a lot of space in packing cubes. I'm tying my skinny fabric belts and scarves on handles and laying cotton lawn sarong across open top of straw bag... I'm using so many bags because I'm a weakling and can't put it all into one bag - it's too heavy for me lug. Wish me luck! Love your tips! tfs!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

After your trip, will you please let me know what changes you would make? It sounds like a great plan though!

[@lesliem.4995]

I like to bring a mini rubber mallet (at all the hardware stores) for my yearly Hawaiian vacation. It helps to get the beach umbrella deep into the sand without bending the metal stick. I spend most of my time on the beach and my mini mallet is easy to pack.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

That's a great idea! Thank you for watching.

[@4lavonne]

Do you pack the umbrella to travel/fly there or live there and just take umbrella from home?

[@arlenemaxwellcopeland1644]

That plum swim suit is beautiful. You could wear that top for a non swim top!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thanks. They have flattering suits that are affordable and not all frumpy. Thank you for watching!

[@DillyDahlia]

Love your channel! I can totally vouch for the Camelbak bottle. I have that exact model and use it every single day, at work and at home. It really does keep my water cold for hours, and I like ICE cold water all year round. Easy to clean cap too, goes in the dishwasher (not the vessel though).

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh thanks! I really want to take one to Montana, but it's heavy when full. Any ideas for a smaller one that is easy to pack? Thank you for watching!

[@DillyDahlia]

TravelTipsbyLaurie I actually have it in two sizes, the 20 and the 12 oz. I got the 12 oz off Amazon. The smaller one fits better in my lunch bag I take to work, but I like the 20 oz better because I don’t have to refill it as often. Have fun in Montana, beautiful state! I’m not too far away in eastern WA.

[@lisamonsma4423]

Another great video filled with great ideas. Wish travel was in OUR future but Canada is pretty much shut down...

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I know; safety first. It's fun to hope. We're headed to Montana and wish we could hop into Canada but not this summer.

[@donnaharris4310]

I live in Anniston Alabama. We love a girls getaway to Savannah.

It was only a couple of years ago I would refuse to shop at Steinmart because I thought it was for seniors but then one day I went back and I found a ton of clothes I liked😳😂.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Yes, it's hit or miss. When I do find things, it's awesome! I shopped for bathing suits there way too late this season. Everything was taken. Thank you for watching!

[@amyhoyle7848]

Hi Laurie! I have a little tip to save room on liquids. Instead of ear drops, a couple of drops of vodka will help with swimmer's ear, and you don't have to pack that.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Great tip! How in the world did you find that out? That makes me not want to have any vodka lol. Oh look, a fruity drink! Thanks so much!

[@gaillittle1700]

I know what you mean about Merrell sandals that's all I ware all sumner. I have like 5 pairs in different colors. Enjoy your beach trip.

I could go crazy buying them. Thank you for watching!

Hola Laurie! Your friend from the Yucatán. What brand is the tumbler that you use with the no spill lids? I use a thermo type while traveling much like I would at home; especially to take up extra coffee to my room.

[@elizabethtimmons4387]

A great very compact option to the grocery bag beach bag - - Search Amazon for "foldable grocery bags." A set of six bags that fold into their own pocket. Pack a couple,, they take up no room. They can be used for a beach bag during your trip and then pack a wet suit in it to go home. They are washable too.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Love that they're washable. Thanks!

[@janicew6222]

You made me laugh about buying tickets to wrong city, bless you heart, bet your husband teased you about this!! I'm going to try the Merrille shoes, I have a very high arch, hard to find sandle for my foot.

So frustrating! I've done this twice and one time we just lost the money and canceled the flight. Ugh!

[@stinkygraykitty6808]

Have a fun trip! OMG I am stressing about my Finland trip in January, Lord please let the US be able to fly into EU by then

[@SnowySpiritRuby]

A family I know who have been in the U.S. for the past year are flying back home to Ireland tomorrow. So whether it's only open to those from the EU who are going back to the EU, or for anyone going to the EU, or at least certain parts of the EU, I don't know, but Ireland at least is allowing flights from the U.S.

[@melissamccabe2845]

I’m not going anywhere anytime soon but I still LOVE watching all of your videos! Question... do you have to take your sandals off when you go through TSA? And wouldn’t that be gross to have your feet on the floor? Do you reuse the clothes that u wear on the plane or do they go in a dirty pile?

[@louisefenech7657]

I believe Laurie said that she wears them again on the plane going home

[@FatMenace]

It’s the best bag I’ve ever owned. Perfect for one bag travel.

If you have hearing aids, don’t they connect to your phone and IPad, then you don’t have to pack headphones? Also do you have recommendation for a sleeker hearing aid case as mine is bulky.

[@ashleyb.715]

What is a precheck?

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Precheck is supposed to be a quicker line in airports in the US. You pay $85 for 5 years. When you go to airport security, you take the PreCheck lane and in it you do not take off shoes or take anything out of your bags. It's great, but alot of business travelers use it so it's sometimes a longer line. But it moves much quicker than regular TSA line.
