Hey, curvy besties! Autumn leaves or late summer sun? The summer may be on its way out, but that does not mean that the beach is going anywhere! For those of you who still are looking to get away to the beach, after school is back in session, a well-planned beach vacation packing list makes all the difference.

For plus size girlies, having the right items ensures you stay comfortable and ready for anything. Why? Because if you stay ready, you donโ€™t have to get ready! For instance, I always carry my water bottle! Hydration is key and is just as important in the summer sun.

Here are 11 items every plus size girl needs on her beach vacation packing list:

1. Portable Phone Charger

For those long days at the beach, a portable phone charger can be a lifesaver. It ensures your phone stays charged so you can capture memories, navigate back to your rental, or just stay in touch. Make sure itโ€™s compact and has enough power to get you through the day.

2. Water-Resistant Sunscreen

A high-quality, water-resistant sunscreen is crucial. No baddie wants to deal with sunburn. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher that can handle your beach activities. I love a good spray-on sunscreen for my body. It makes it easier to reapply. Make sure itโ€™s formulated to work well with your skin type.

3. Beach Bag with Multiple Compartments

A beach bag with multiple compartments helps keep your essentials organized. Choose one with enough space for your swimwear, towel, snacks, and sunscreen. Pockets or dividers make it easier to find what you need quickly, saving you from the frustration of rummaging through a cluttered bag.

4. Beach Umbrella

If the beach doesnโ€™t provide umbrellas, bring your own. A beach umbrella provides essential shade and helps protect your skin from excessive sun exposure. Look for one thatโ€™s easy to set up and offers UV protection.

5. Oversized Beach Towel

An oversized beach towel or blanket is a practical and luxurious choice. It provides ample space to lay out comfortably and is large enough to wrap around yourself after a dip in the ocean. Opt for a soft and absorbent towel, ensuring it dries quickly and keeps you cozy.

6. Tackle Box for Snacks

A tackle box isnโ€™t just for fishing; itโ€™s perfect for keeping your favorite beach snacks organized. You can separate chips, fruit, and other goodies with multiple compartments without them getting crushed. Having a variety of snacks on hand ensures you stay fueled for all your beach activities.

7. Lightweight Sarong

A lightweight sarong is a versatile addition to your beach vacation packing list. It can be a cover-up, a beach blanket, or even a makeshift sun shield. Choose one in a fun print or color that complements your swimwear. The flexibility of a sarong makes it a must-have item for any plus size beach lover.

8. Beach Chair

A sturdy beach chair (they do exist) can make lounging by the water much more enjoyable. Choose one with good back support and a sturdy frame. Some chairs even come with built-in cup holders and pockets for added convenienceโ€”comfort matters when spending long hours at the beach.

9. Sunglasses

Sunglasses are a must-have for your beach packing list because they protect your eyes from harmful UV rays and reduce glare off the water. This ensures you can enjoy your beach day without straining your eyes. Sunglasses also help prevent premature aging of the delicate skin around your eyes. Choose a pair with UV protection to keep your eyes safe and comfortable while you soak up the sun.

10. Decoy Cases

Diversion or decoy cases are essential for keeping your cards and ID safe while you enjoy the sand and surf. These discreet cases can be hidden in your bag or beach chair, offering a secure place for your valuables without drawing attention. Plus, they provide peace of mind, allowing you to relax and have fun without worrying about your personal belongings.

11. Casual Clothing

Listen, a lot of beach side towns have restaurants and bars on their boardwalk. And whatโ€™s better than margaritas after the beach? For your beach vacation packing list, casual clothing like a breezy romper or a flowy sundress is a must. These versatile pieces are easy to slip on over your swimwear. Choose lightweight, breathable fabrics that keep you cool and chic in the summer heat.

These eleven tips cover all bases for a smooth and enjoyable beach escape. Packing smart means including everything you need to feel fabulous and ready for beach fun. A thoughtful beach vacation packing list ensures you donโ€™t miss any essentials and helps you enjoy your time in the sun.
