Travel essentials
Apart from the above-mentioned essentials, you will also need:

- Identification (passport/visa/itinerary)

- Bandages
- Hand sanitizer
- Credit/debit cards and ample cash

The above-mentioned essentials will pretty much cover everything that you may need on your beach vacation. However, it is always recommended that you carry extra items that may come handy. Go over the list while you pack stuff and make sure that you don’t miss anything.
Before packing, create sections in your suitcase and allocate every section to each of the 4 categories mentioned above. You can create sections by using a cardboard cutout or create imaginary lines that separate the four sections. This will allow you to neatly pack everything, so you can easily find stuff when you need it. Leave the beach towel for the end; after you have placed everything in its designated space, place the beach towel above everything else. In addition, carry the extra items like chairs, air lounges and beach toys separately.
