1. Sunscreen

First and foremost, don’t forget your sunscreen! Keep your skin happy and healthy by protecting it from harmful UV rays. A broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 is your best friend. Slather it on, and reapply every two hours – especially after taking a dip or working up a sweat. We recommend the ones by Endota and you can get yours from our partners at The Green Collective. not only does it protect your skin. it also feels good and made from all natural ingredients.🌿

2. Swimwear

What’s a summer vacation without some splashy fun? Make sure to pack plenty of swimwear for the whole family so everyone is ready for some water adventures. Bring at least two swimsuits per person, so there's always a dry one handy. For the kids, pack a mix of colorful one-pieces, swim trunks, and rash guards. For parents, throw in some bikinis, one-pieces, and swim trunks to suit every activity, whether it’s lounging by the pool, playing in the waves, or building sandcastles on the beach.🏖️

3. Sunglasses

Shield your eyes in style with a great pair of sunglasses. Look for ones with 100% UV protection to keep your vision safe and sound. Polarized lenses are perfect for cutting down glare, making those beach views even more stunning.🕶️

Stay breezy and comfy with lightweight clothing. Think cotton, linen, and rayon – breathable fabrics that are perfect for the heat. Like the clothes we have on Nimbu’s brand new Aloha Collection.
