Beach & water days
Reef-safe sunscreen, a quick-dry towel, water shoes, and a dry bag to keep your phone safe on the boat.
Hiking & nature tours
Broken-in walking shoes, a refillable water bottle, insect repellent, and a light rain shell you can stuff in a daypack.
City & culture walks
Comfortable shoes for cobblestones, a crossbody bag, a sun hat, and layers modest enough for churches and museums.
Rainy-day backup plan
Pack a packable poncho and keep an indoor option in mind — museums, aquariums, and covered markets keep a wet port day going.
