Packing for Hawaii is always a little different than packing for other trips. I tend to pack little items that I do not want to pay a premium for over in Hawaii if I forget them! This could also be a packing list for any beach vacation.

Grab your favorite luggage, and make the most of this list to keep yourself ready for anything once you hit the beautiful sandy beaches of Hawaii. While many of these items are liquids, you’ll want to make sure if you are planning to use just a carry-on bag, that you abide by current airline and TSA guidelines.

Getting ready for your next visit to the beautiful islands of Hawaii is easier with this great list of things you need to be packing to bring to the beach. Remember, many things are available on the island, but it will be more expensive. However, the local Target, Walmart, and regular drug stores will give you access to many items you would want to use. Import of goods to the islands does raise prices, but you won’t be without options should you forget to pack an item.
This beach packing list for your visit to Hawaii is a must-have on your list to prepare. Things like your hairdryer, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and soaps are often offered by the hotel you are staying at during your visit. So, if you need to save space, leave those items behind and use the provided products during your visit.
Also, keep in mind that this list could work for most beach destinations like Mexico, the Caribbean, Thailand, or Greece.

A great list! One thing I love to take to Hawaii is my packable cooler from Trader Joe’s. It’s awesome to be able to pack cold drinks and sandwiches for the beach to cut down on eating out since it’s a bit expensive in HI!
