I’m pretty much a pro when it comes to packing for beach vacations since I do them so often. Whether you’re headed to the Bahamas, Santorini, Miami, the Maldives, Hawaii—or somewhere else warm and sunny—my beach vacation packing check list will have you covered.

They key is to refer to this list as you prepare for your trip, checking things off as you go. (You can copy and paste the below into the “notes” section of your phone so that you can reference it easily.) Below, you’ll find a bullet-pointed packing list, as well as photos and links to just about everything I brought with me on recent trips to beachy locales.
