Things you need on vacation at sea. What to take with you to the sea, and what is not necessary

In order for you to enjoy your vacation, we have compiled for you a small instruction on the fees that you need to take with you to the sea for a good rest.

Before fees start:

- check the weather and climate for the rest. Forecasts are not always accurate, but you need to have an idea of the big picture. You may need to take an umbrella for rainy days, and a warm cardigan for cooler evenings.

- make a list of what you will do during the trip, where you will go, what places you will visit, you will try dishes, buy souvenirs. So you won't forget anything and have a great time.

- if you are the head of the family or responsible for the fees, then 2 weeks before the trip, start making lists of what you will need to take with you. This will help you not forget anything, and at the last minute you will not need to run to the pharmacy for motion sickness pills or to the store for sunscreen. Start packing one or two days before your trip.

List of things to take with you to the sea:

1. Wardrobe
- Beach wear: swimsuit, swimming trunks, flip flops, headwear, pareo and so on. It is advisable to take spare clothes with you to the sea, in case something breaks or does not dry.
- casual wear: Take only the essentials. As practice shows, we usually “walk” 50-60% of the things that we took with us on vacation. Be picky, plan your fashion looks for every day, think about what you will wear. Don't forget to bring pajamas or sleepwear.
- shoes: in addition to beach shoes, you need to take sneakers or sneakers that will come in handy for walking after rain and for excursions to mountainous areas. Sandals and sandals for every day are also useful. For solemn exits to a restaurant or anywhere, take beautiful shoes.

2. Medicines
– We recommend taking antipyretics, painkillers, cold medications, ointment for bruises and sprains, motion sickness pills, special medicines necessary to maintain your good health. Also allergy medications, activated charcoal, patches, bandage, ear drops.

Read also an article about what it is and how to avoid it.

3. Hygiene products and cosmetics
Toothbrush and paste, shampoo in sachets or in a small bottle, razor, shaving cream, deodorant, comb, face and body cream, make-up and sunscreen.

4. Money
If you are going on vacation abroad, change the currency at home. Then you will have cash upon arrival in another country and you will not have to wander around in search of an ATM, exchange office or bank. Find out the addresses where they are located in advance, especially if you are bad with foreign languages and it will be difficult for you to ask the locals for directions. If you are on vacation in your own country, we also recommend having cash. A lot of goodies are always sold on the beaches, but you won’t run to an ATM because of a cheburek, the location of which, perhaps, you don’t know yet.

5. Documents
Make a photocopy of your documents and carry them with you just in case, especially if you are on holiday abroad. You can also scan all documents and send them to your e-mail, if necessary, you can go to any Internet cafe and print them. If the child is traveling with one of the parents, then you must take with you a power of attorney for the child to travel abroad.

6. Beach accessories
For children at sea, you should take: sleeves, a vest or a life buoy. For adults - an air mattress, a beach ball. If you do not rent a sun lounger, then you will need a mat on which you will lie and sunbathe on the beach and an umbrella from the sun. At the place of rest, you can buy a fan to fan yourself from the heat.

7. Finishing touches
Before you go on a trip, pay all bills so you don't have to worry about it. Remove all perishable food from the refrigerator, and it is best to defrost it and leave it empty. Take all rubbish out of the house. And it will be just great if you do a general cleaning before you leave. Then you will be pleased to return to a clean house. Leave the coordinates to your relatives: the name of the hotel where you will stay, your approximate route.

Vacation, sun, sea, beach - a dream. The sea gives strength, relieves fatigue accumulated over the year, saturates with energy. That is why most people prefer to spend their holidays on the sea coasts, together with family or friends.

But friends will pack their own bag, but you and I will have to think over the wardrobe for ourselves, our husband and child, what, in fact, to take with us on vacation. Before you start packing, make a complete list, including every little thing down to the nail file. Then there is less chance that you will forget something.

Seeing how his wife is going on the road, especially on a long journey, any man secretly or clearly begins to resent - where to take so many things, why do you need this, why is this ... And it's good if the matter does not end in scandal. Therefore, dear men, if a woman does not ask you for advice, then perhaps the right decision would be to leave and not interfere with her wardrobe.

What clothes to take to the sea for a woman

Swimsuit. It is better to take two - open and closed. Yes, and a shift on the beach will not hurt if you suddenly do not like to sit in the wet.
Headgear - a hat with a brim or a baseball cap to cover the face. It's not very pretty when a burnt nose flakes off.
Several sets of underwear - panties, bras, T-shirts, nightgowns. How? It's up to you, depending on how long you're leaving. 3-5 sets, in principle, is enough. Nightgowns and one is enough.
Set of home clothes. In some ways, you will have to go home. And it is desirable that it was not a bathrobe, but something decent - a T-shirt or T-shirt with shorts or capri pants. One set for the whole holiday is enough. Two is the maximum.
Walking clothes. Something simple and practical, it is advisable to take wrinkle-resistant and, of course, from natural fabrics - linen or cotton. It can be a pantsuit or a dress - at your discretion. 2-3 sets are enough for any woman. Try to have a light cardigan or jacket in your wardrobe that covers your shoulders, because during walks they most often “burn out” in the sun - the sensations are not pleasant.
Nice dress or suit if you plan to visit restaurants or clubs. As practice shows - one is enough. Just do not take all sorts of velvets and silk. An elegant linen outfit is the right outfit for evening gatherings with a glass of martini.
From shoes, take slates or slippers for home and the beach, shoes or sandals for walking and sneakers. You won't need high heels.
Do I need to take a warm kit? More often, yes. In the South, it is also cool in the evenings, so jeans and one tight jacket will not hurt. Linen is better.

In addition to clothes, do not forget the cosmetic bag necessary for a woman, a manicure set, “soap-and-foam” accessories, a beach towel or a bedspread (if you are going savages), dark glasses, personal hygiene products and, of course, protective creams: you don’t burn out in the sun, and a tan is better will stick.

Men's clothing for sea holidays

Yes, yes, he also needs to pack a wardrobe. It’s a little easier here, although the principle is the same - to the beach, to the house, to go out and in the evening.

Bathing trunks, or better a couple.
Headgear, preferably a hat rather than a bandana.
Briefs, 3-4 pairs, and two pairs of socks, more will not be required.
T-shirts, T-shirts, shirts. Some men prefer to walk around in T-shirts, but the sun doesn't care who to fry. Therefore, try to convince your husband to cover his shoulders too, if he does not want to suffer from sunburn.
Shorts or breeches, two pairs, light trousers or jeans. You can take a tracksuit.
From shoes - slippers and sneakers. If your man is an aesthete, add summer shoes or sandals to your wardrobe.
And, of course, the essentials - shaving accessories, shampoos, soaps, toothpastes, glasses, a casual beach bag or a backpack that can fit a blanket and a bottle of water.

What to take from clothes to the sea for a child

If you have a son, we collect for rest in the same way as for a husband. Two pairs of swimwear, at least 2-3 pairs of shorts, 4-5 pairs of T-shirts and shirts, a tracksuit, jeans, a baseball cap.

Collect the girl like a woman, that is, yourself, according to the same principle - a beach, a walk, an evening. Dress or sundress, shorts or capris, T-shirts and blouses, slippers, sandals, sports shoes.

Take a few small toys, shovels and sand buckets for the baby - the right decision. And also a swim ring or armlets. If the child is traveling alone (to the camp, for example), then immediately show him what to wear with. Arrange a fashion show the day before, dress it up and explain what goes with what and how it is worn. Be sure to convince him to hide his head and smear on sunscreen if he does not want to spend the whole vacation in an isolation room with burns.

A couple of tips

Should a woman take puffy dresses and bows with her on vacation? Definitely not. They are both hot and impractical. Well, bows, of course, you can take, but long ball gowns will be out of place in a beach wardrobe.

The same goes for boy suits with "butterflies" - they are not needed at sea. Design a small backpack for each family member to fit a water bottle and other personal items. A remedy for diarrhea and something for burns may come in handy. Perhaps everything. Haven't forgotten anything? Think there's still time.

When going on vacation by the sea, carefully consider what things to take with you. To facilitate the task, the YaKapitalist resource has prepared a list of necessary clothing, protective equipment and accessories for relaxing on the beach and entertainment in the water, as well as recommendations from which sellers on Aliexpress to buy such things cheaper.

For many, a vacation by the sea is an expensive pleasure. Not only do you need to buy a ticket or pay for rented accommodation, spend money on the road, but you also have to update beach clothes, toys and accessories. Definitely, you can go on vacation light and buy all the necessary things on the spot. But this option is expensive and not suitable for everyone.

So that the rest does not turn into a financial and moral nightmare, we think over in advance what to take with us to the sea from clothes and accessories. It is advisable to remember everything to the smallest detail and make a list in advance. This will allow you to carefully cross out the excess. And most importantly, there will be time to study offers in stores and on Internet resources, where you can buy the necessary things at a discount and pack your luggage economically.

For those who have absolutely no time left for packing and shopping, a ready-made list and tips on where to get the necessary things at the lowest cost can come in handy. Many interesting budget offers for a summer holiday by the sea can be found on Aliexpress.

Beachwear

Rest on the sea is simply impossible without special clothes for swimming. Therefore, we include in the list of relevant things:

A pair of women's swimsuits with different types of strings for an even tan;
Closed swimsuit for access to the pool;
2 men's swimming trunks;
4 children's swimming trunks, which will have to be changed after each swim.

Hooray, it happened - a long-awaited trip to the sea awaits you! What to take with you, how not to forget the necessary and not to be loaded with too much? A pre-compiled list of the most necessary things will help - from documents to a first aid kit. We have selected the best option for a trip to the seaside - get ready for the trip wisely!

We are going to the sea - what to take with us?

Documents and money

If you forget your favorite shorts or sunscreen, nothing bad will happen. But without a ticket or passport, you won’t go far.

Therefore, we start the list of things on the road with the most important. Prepare your documents, children's birth certificates, health insurance, driver's license (if you are going to rent a car).

We are talking about holidays in our own country, if you have a trip abroad, the package of documents will be more impressive. Check with your tour operator for a list of everything you need.

Make photocopies of documents just in case - they will not interfere.

Decide in advance how much money you take with you in cash, you will need it anyway. You will buy water, all sorts of goodies on the beach, fruits in the market. Check if there is enough money on your bank card.

Clothing and footwear

The most controversial part of the list is wardrobe items. I would like to take more outfits, but in fact, out of the whole heap of things taken with us, we usually don’t wear even half to the sea.

Let's not forget the main thing, but how to supplement the optimal list of things, everyone will decide for himself.

So, on the sea coast, your main occupation is to swim and sunbathe. On the beach you will need swimsuits, preferably at least two, maybe three, in order to change into dry clothes as needed. Men also need a pair of swimming trunks.

At least three sets of underwear, pajamas or a nightgown, a bathrobe or a light home suit - do not forget to put all this in a suitcase.

We take with us a pareo, a light tunic with a sleeve. They will help out in different situations and protect from the bright sun in the first days of a sea holiday.

How many shorts, skirts, T-shirts to take with you? Minimum! It is better to select those things from which it is easy to make different sets.

Then a pair of light T-shirts, skirts, shorts, summer trousers and a sundress will be enough.

The sea can also be cool, bring jeans and a jacket (sweater) with you.

Evening outings will require an elegant dress, choose one of your favorite cocktail dresses.

Do not ignore the headdress - in the midst of the summer heat, you can not do without it. Pick something in advance to your liking - a hat, a scarf, a bandana, a Panama hat, a cap.

It is better to take a beach bag with you from home, but not necessarily - you can buy it on the spot, like other beach holiday items.

Take at least two towels - separately for the beach and for the shower.

Sunglasses - you can't do without them on the sea coast. Every member of the family should have them.

Now about shoes: someone may well get by with comfortable flip flops for every day, but you can take another pair, in some you will go to the beach, in others - around the city.

Many fashionistas cannot do without a pair of elegant shoes for evening outings. Some beautiful sandals will be enough!

Surely you are going to not only lie on the beach, but also go on excursions, make tourist outings - so you need to take something from hiking shoes: sneakers, sneakers, ballet flats, moccasins. Connoisseurs recommend ballet shoes, they are comfortable, light and take up less space in a suitcase.

A little jewelry does not hurt - you want to be especially beautiful on vacation.

A great solution is a flash tattoo, this hit of the season is just a godsend for a beach holiday. Take a set of stickers with you and decorate yourself with trendy patterns.

Don't forget hairpins and hair ties.

We collect a children's suitcase

Be especially careful when listing your child's things:

several sets of underwear and socks, a pair of pajamas;

at least 4-5 T-shirts, shorts;

a pair of warm blouses and trousers;

at least two headgear and two swimming trunks per shift;

comfortable sandals, beach sandals, sneakers.

All this will be needed by your child during a holiday at sea.

Do not forget about swimming accessories - armlets, a circle, a vest. Many parents advise sleeves, it is easier to learn to swim in them, more freedom of movement than in a vest, but the baby can slip out of the circle.

You need to bring a bedding for the child, dense, but made of quick-drying fabric.

It is not always possible to sit under a canopy on the beach, so your child will need an umbrella from the sun.

Do not forget about children's toys: the baby needs a ball, buckets, strainers and scoops.

Toddlers will need a non-spill cup, bottles, baby food, potty, diapers.

Technique

You are unlikely to forget to take a mobile phone, but many leave chargers at home.

Make a list of all the equipment that you plan to take with you:

camera (video camera);
laptop or tablet;
player;
e-book (not required, but you can take).

And for each device, do not forget to put a charger.

Cosmetics and hygiene products

The list of cosmetics must include sunscreen, including children's.

Don't forget mosquito repellents too. The child needs funds appropriate for his age.

What else to take with you:

shampoo (more convenient in sachets);

soap;

deodorant;

moisturizing cream;

a minimum of decorative cosmetics;

make-up remover;

means of depilation;

toothpaste and brushes;

combs;

feminine hygiene items;

wet wipes;

manicure set;

brush (pumice stone) for feet;

men's shaving accessories, shaving cream (foam) and aftershave lotion.

first aid kit

Medicines can be bought at the local pharmacy. But the most necessary medicines must be taken. If you are constantly taking any medication, for example, for pressure, do not forget to put them in your first aid kit.

List of medicines that are recommended to take on a trip to the sea:

activated carbon or other effective sorbents;

hydrogen peroxide, iodine;

adhesive plaster;

drugs for diarrhea;

ointment "Rescuer" is useful in different situations;

painkillers;

antihistamines;
for a child: a thermometer, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, a remedy for bloating, drops for a cold, a preparation for burns, remedies for indigestion and motion sickness.

What you should not take with you to the sea:

hair dryer - let your hair rest at least on the sea;

iron - we hope this will not occur to anyone, such a household appliance is available both in hotels and in the owners of rented housing;

a boiler is already a relic of Soviet times, it is better to use an electric kettle in a room or a rented apartment;

dishes - also a habit that has taken root over the years, but you will find plates and cups on the spot;

products - some thrifty vacationers drag sausage, stew, canned food and other edibles with them;

jewelry - why do you risk losing a ring or chain at sea;

books - as a rule, a volume of novels will remain lying at the bottom of a suitcase, guidebooks and atlases are on sale at local kiosks.

We tried not to forget anything and made a complete list for a trip to the sea.

Start packing for the road in advance, carefully select what you need to take, try to pack it all compactly.

So you will understand whether it is really necessary to take as many as two evening dresses and three sundresses, the child’s favorite car and a weighty cosmetic bag.

Go to the sea with the mind and with pleasure!

Probably, everyone faces a problem before traveling - to pack a suitcase, backpack or bag so as not to forget anything.

What to put in hand luggage

We put everything of value in hand luggage (documents, money, phone, etc.). E If you are flying by plane, then in hand luggage there should not be anything piercing and cutting and liquid. And also, what can be useful on the road:

napkins
comb
mirror
a pen
leisure magazine or crossword puzzle
some water

Baggage

We put everything in a suitcase compactly. So that things are not wrinkled, I twist them like a sausage. In my opinion, there are fewer places and the view remains good. The suitcase should never be packed all the way. Firstly, you may have an overweight (most airlines have a baggage allowance of up to 20 kg), and secondly, back, you will probably buy something for yourself or your loved ones.
