It is going to be a water prone area. Make sure you pack your stuff in separate plastic bags. Do remember to carry some extra plastic bags to store your wet beach-wear and for emergency needs too.

Beaches are usually sunny. Dress-up in light summerish clothes, preferably lose! Tank-tops, shorts, and sarongs for women; lose t-shirts, cotton shirts, ganjis and three-fourths for men are ideal choices for beachwear.

Since your hair and skin will be exposed to the moist and humid environs, you may need a healthy dab of leave-in conditioner in your hair to unravel any tangles later, and it will also protect your hair from the salt water.

Make sure you sport fewer accessories. It will be easy to roam around on the beach without getting worried about your expensive belongings. Carry a pair of inexpensive sunglasses with effective UV ray coverage.

Carry large bottles of sun-block, sun-tan lotion, sunscreen and other preventive creams that you use, in your bag to protect you from unwanted skin troubles. Getting huge sunburn because you forgot your sun-block is not a comfortable thought.

Pack your favorite food. Light sandwiches, salads, some munchies and cool drinks are perfect that will keep you energized and hydrated enough for exciting water-sports. Some cool margaritas or canned juices are perfect choice for drinks. Make sure you pack plenty to last for the entire time you plan to spend there.

Pack your food in zip-lock bags or pet containers to avoid any breaking. That will also save food items from getting spoiled and keep them fresh for longer hours. Carry few extra zip-lock bags for emergent needs.

Keep your food at the bottom of the carry bag, under the rest of the stuff you pack. It will save the food items from the random animals like stray dogs that frequent the beaches in search of food. Keep the towels and other stuff on top of the food and keep it covered when not in use. You can keep a towel at the bottom of the bag to make a suitable base.

Carry at least two towels per person. One to be used for drying up salty sea-water and the other for drying after the fresh water shower! Do not use the same towel. It will not leave you fresh.

If you have your kids along to enjoy the beach time, pack a few beach toys like inflated balls, frisbees, badminton rackets, soccer ball etc. You can anyways play some thrilling games on the beach, with or without kids. Place the beach toys on top your stuff.

If you are hitting the beach for a relaxing laze, do not forget to pack your favorite book or few magazines of your interest. Read, eat, drink and laze around watching the mesmerizing sun-set at the sea.

Pack an extra pair of swimwear other than the one you plan to use, in case you need to change for some reasons.

If you are not too much of a water sport fanatic, avoid it. For it is only for the adventure lovers and need practice too.

Before actually jumping into the ocean to enjoy the thrill of sea-sports, make sure you ask the coaches and attendants around, all the relevant questions and get all the necessary help.

Ladies, carry your necessary make-up items in a plastic bag, to deck self up for a nice beach walk adorned in your seductive beachwear, once you have taken a dip in the sea.

Do not forget to pack your gadgets such as MP3 player, your cell phone, and your camera; in a plastic bag to save them from the watery accidents. A good MP3 player will help you relax with your favorite music on a breezy beach.

Last but not the least, must packs are the necessary medication and the toiletries that you use. Pack in the regular pills if you are prescribed with some. Other necessary medicines will help you in emergency situations and toiletries are must if you prefer personal hygiene.

Be sure to label all your belongings to prevent them from getting lost during your stay at the beach.
