1. Clothing Essentials
Miami is warm and humid, so lightweight and versatile pieces are key.
• Swimwear
-I pack at least 4 swimsuits. That way I always have one dry and have options for the beach, pool and any water activities.
You can never go wrong with at least one black swimsuit. I also like to pack at least one printed one.
• Cover up
-I usually pack two- a black one and a neutral one. Here is a super cute cover-up I packed last year.
• Lightweight dresses
-I find dresses easy and cute to wear around the resort or out for breakfast. Check out this adorable and comfy dress!
• Shorts & tanks or t shirts
-I try to get as many steps in as I can when I’m on vacation! I love doing morning walks along the boardwalk or beach, and pack these comfy athletic shorts and tank top.
• Evening outfits
-I always want to look my best when going out in Miami- so I pack chic but comfortable dresses or outfits for dinner and night life! You ca’t go wrong with a little black dress.
• Light sweater or jacket
-A light sweater is definitely a must have for cooler evenings or indoor air conditioning.
2. Footwear
Comfort is key in Miami, without sacrificing style!
• one pair of Sandals or flip-flops
– I have these sandals and can’t believe how comfortable they are. They also don’t slip off my feet while walking around.
• Sneakers or walking shoes
– These are essential for exploring the city and morning walks/runs on the boardwalk- doubles as airport shoes. I of course bring my hokas every time.
• Dressy shoes
– I pack one pair of comfortable heels for dinners and nightlife.
3. Beach & Pool Essentials
• Sunscreen & lip balm
– High SPF is a must. I also bring specific ones for my face, like supergoop.
• Beach bag
– I always bring a packable beach bag large enough for my essentials and snacks. This beach bag is super cute.
• Sunglasses & hat
– These are absolute musts to protect my eyes and face from the sun. I bring 2 sunglasses and 2 hats. This is a cute packable straw hat!
4. other travel essentials
• Phone & charger
• Reusable water bottle or insulated cup
•Bumbag/fanny pack
– I bring this fanny pack to pack small essentials for walks on the beach or board walk.
