There are some people who really know who to travel. They’re the kind that pack carry-on only, who only bring what they need and who always look like their clothes are ironed. And then, there’s the rest of us. Those who bring three full-sized duffle bags for an overnighter, who throw 80 per cent of their wardrobe into the back of the car and hope for the best, the kind who brings four jumpers on a beach weekend ‘just in case’. So, we hit up those editors in the office who fell into the former category … Just how do they do it? We hit them up on how to pack for a 48-hour beach escape.
Definitely bring: boardies

Pretty much the only pants you’ll need.

Must-pack: the throw-everything-in bag

You want something that’s big enough to hold all your gear, but small enough to say you’re a total pro when it comes to the great escape. Hot tip: go for one that closes so no one can see what you really packed.

Be sure to remember: a towel

This isn’t just for post surf. It doubles as a picnic rug / bath towel / hairdryer. The real MVP.

Lightweight and looks best when wrinkled, this is your no-iron saviour. Perfect for keeping the sun off when needed and for after dark occasions.

We love something that’s fine to throw in the rest of everything without losing its shape – a cap or this season’s star: the bucket hat.

For the long days at the beach – saves you from plastic while travelling just press refill.
