Panama City Beach Vacation Tips #1: What To Not Forget When Going
To Panama City Beach
With all the excitement of going on a trip to Panama City Beach, it is easy to
forget the essentials. These are the items that can be a little harder to find in a pinch and help make all
beach vacations go much smoother. Check out our list of items all PCB vacationers will want to have on their
list:
1.
Sunscreen. Many vacationers have been fooled into
thinking the temperate weather cannot give you a good burn.
Don’t be one of them and be sure the SPF is at least 15+.
2. Buy quality sandals or swim
shoes. Don’t go cheap here. Get some that can work in and out of the water and can take a
pounding. I recommend ones with a strap for the back heel as they
provide more support and allow you to walk on all surfaces.
3. Big Cotton Beach
Towels. Bring extra towels for the beach only. As you will be doing plenty of showering, you will be glad you
did. Big beach towels are great for allowing you to drape them
over a beach chair, lying out in the sand or toweling off after a swim.
4. Cooler. Do not be overly
concerned with quality here. We are looking for a basic durable
structure that can keep your drinks and food cool. Wheels are not
very useful because of the big beaches so always pack the cooler light and you should do just
fine.
5. Waterproof
Camera. Do not take the fancy digital camera or photo camera to
the beach unless it is waterproof. The risk is too great and since
the quality of disposable cameras has improved, it is a great idea to purchase a few throwaway
cameras.
6. Waterproof
Wallet. Do not force someone to be the chaperon for your hotel
key, wallet, and keys. Purchase a waterproof wallet that can hold
these items and use it during your trip. It will help protect you
against theft and allow everyone to participate in the swim or other beach activities.
7. Rent Beach
Equipment. It makes a lot more sense to rent a beach chair,
umbrella, swimming aids and other beach accessories than to bring them with you. Besides the additional cargo these would take up, the convenience of being
able to pick up equipment right on the beach is the sensible choice. With prices being very reasonable, do yourself a favor and rent rather than
haul.
8. Bring some paperbacks,
newspapers, and magazines. Panama City Beaches give you plenty
of room to sit back and get in some quality reading. Be sure to
allocate some time to unwind and enjoy this simple pleasure. With
soft beaches and a beautiful ambience, you will be glad you did.
9. Purchase a good pair of
sunglasses. These will help protect your eyes against the sun
and light change from going into darkened hotel rooms, restaurants and other establishments. Make sure they are durable so as not to break if you accidentally sat on them
and also that they are waterproof.
Equipped with this information, you are sure to increase your time at the beach
actually enjoying the beaches and activities. As any beach
vacationer will tell you, the last thing you want to do is be stuck in a grocery store line when you could be
enjoying the summer breeze.
