Memorial Day weekend is fast approaching, which means one thing summer is on its way! And with it, picnics, barbecues, nature hikes, swimming poolside, lakeside or beachside, and ice cream. My summer started with a week at the Tybee Beach house and hours spent at the beach. If you are looking for solitude, look no further than a sandy beach. There’s nothing more soothing than listening to the waves lap onto the shore. Today I am sharing What I packed For the Beach.

What I Packed For the Beach
Beach Vacation Capsule Wardrobe
A beach vacation packing list requires a different strategy than other trips. We can’t forget to pack the necessities like sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats. Since the weather is warm, loose-fitting clothes and sundresses are a must (I love linen shorts and pants).
Let’s take a look at what I packed for the beach.
2 – 3 swimsuits
1 – 2 cover-ups
4 T-shirts and casual tops
3 pairs of shorts
1 skirt
2 dresses
1 pair of flip flops
1 pair of sandals
1 pair of sneakers
Casual Linen
Loose-fitting linen is at the top of my list. A linen boyfriend shirt from Talbots goes with jeans, linen pants, and shorts.

I live in linen shorts all summer long. A cute graphic tee is the perfect companion.

Beach vacations are something I look forward to, and I typically splurge on a new swimsuit and a breezy cover-up.

Sleepwear
After a long day at the beach, nothing beats a hot shower, then slipping into a comfy pair of pajamas and robe. Last year, I discovered Petite Plume and became a big fan. How cute is this gingham nightshirt? I wear silk boxers underneath. And nothing is more feminine than a soft, buttery nightgown and navy duster.

Hi Beth! Can’t get enough of your packing lists. You have really helped me learn to streamline what to take on a trip. Love the outfits you’ve styled especially the Petite Plume nightgown and duster. They look very travel friendly. Petite Plume is new to me, will have to check them out. Also, been meaning to tell you how much I enjoy your son Alex’s Spotify list! I get such a kick out of all the good ol’ tunes and he always introduces me to something new and worthwhile listening to. Please tell him to keep them coming!
I’m so happy to hear you love the playlist! He’s having a lot of fun putting them together.
