Fall Beach Getaway Packing List

When packing for an autumn beach getaway, there are certain essentials you should always bring along in your beach bag. Here is our handy packing checklist so that you know which items need to be included on the essential list!

Beach Tote Bag

A durable beach tote can make or break a successful beach day experience. Be sure to select an impressive tote made specifically for beach use while remaining stylish and versatile enough for daily errands or travel needs - materials like thick canvas or raffia straw help prevent the accumulation of sand, and an interior zip pocket offers secure storage of phones, keys and cards while relaxing on the sand.

Sun Protection

Think sun protection isn’t necessary on cloudy days? Dermatologists say up to 80% of UV rays still pass through clouds. Be sure to apply sunblock before heading outside, and bring an extra bottle so you can reapply as necessary - even when skies remain gray!

Bring a shade solution like an AMMSUN umbrella, UV-blocking sunglasses, and clothing such as swim coverups with UPF protection to stay protected during any outdoor activity. When it comes to your skin’s safety, being overprepared can only ever help!

Insulated Cups

Don’t want to bring an entire cooler? Instead, bring along some insulated cups or tumblers - they will keep drinks at their ideal temperatures while you’re relaxing near the water. Look for double-wall vacuum insulation with stainless steel that won’t condense - these will ensure both hot drinks stay hot while cold ones remain chilled, making insulated tumblers an essential beach item.

Beach Towel

A large beach towel can make all the difference for an enjoyable fall beach outing. When choosing your towel, choose something oversized so you can dry off after diving, brush off sand from your feet, or relax comfortably under autumn’s gentle glow.

Fall Beach Attire

Need something suitable to wear to the beach this Autumn? Consider layering up, choosing high UPF pieces made from comfortable stretchy performance fabrics, and accessorizing with quality accessories. Below is an essential list of items and accessories suitable for fall beach outfits in both men’s and women’s need.

Flip-flops or comfortable slide sandals: Simple sandals remain the go-to footwear choice for beach days in autumn - even though your feet might feel cold at first, nothing beats feeling the sensation of sand between your toes!

Hats and Visors: Protect yourself from the sun’s harsh rays while controlling wind-blown hair by donning an iconic baseball cap or visor.

Surfsuit or Wetsuit: Exploring the beach during off-season visits may prove more enjoyable than expected due to extremely beautiful weather - with waves often providing enough excitement. Pack your swim trunks or suit to take full advantage of those last warm days before winter arrives!

If you plan to go surfing, paddling, or swimming this fall season in cooler waters then having a wetsuit on can ensure maximum comfort no matter the temperature of the fall water.

Lightweight Layers: Great fall beach outfits depend on light layers to adapt with shifting temperatures. On mild days, men should layer with long-sleeved shirts or quarter-zips over basic T-shirts. When temperatures cool off more, adding in layers like sweatshirts, fleece jackets or athletic zip-ups provide both extra warmth and UVA/UVB protection.

Women can layer just as effortlessly. Pullovers and jackets pair nicely with tanks and tees while cardigans and sweaters add both warmth and an attractive flair to beach looks.

Remember an Extra Outfit: Keep an extra set of clothes handy just in case dinner or drinks call, plus no one wants damp, sandy attire on their drive home from the beach. Women could consider performance dresses while men could switch into casual pants and button-down shirts for a smart but laid-back look post beach experience.

Pack for Beach Fun

A beach day shouldn’t be complete without some entertaining items to bring along for family fun on the shore this fall season.

Beach Toys: From creating sandcastles to unearthing hidden treasure, these simple yet memorable toys create lasting memories everyone will treasure forever.

Bring Your Beach Chair: Just because it’s off-season doesn’t mean you should stop enjoying the sunshine - bring along a couple of chairs so you can soak up autumn light or curl up under blanket with book to take it all in!

Bluetooth Speaker: Music can instantly enhance any event or outing - be it a birthday celebration, picnic luncheon or simply hanging out at home! Just be mindful of local noise rules. Be sure to charge up your waterproof speaker ahead of time before packing it into your tote for optimal use on any adventure!

Beach Book: On a fresh fall afternoon, nothing can rival the relaxation that can come from lounging in a beach chair with soft blanket, hot drink and an engaging book to read. Instead of engaging yourself with something too serious and heavy-going to read - opt for something lighthearted yet engaging like an easy beach read!

Sports Gear: Frisbees, paddles, boogie boards and surfboards - anything to get your body moving during the brisk fall weather - is always useful for keeping active. Bring along your pickleball set for some additional practice on the sand!
