[quote=Anonymous]I spent a lot of time in the islands and have been back and forth (with kids) a few times in the last few years.

Beach kit:
2x swimsuits; for me, 1 l/s rashguard and a pair of shorts I can swim in. I'm fair-skinned and I like to snorkel, which puts you butt up in the air for a while. I want some coverage if I'm in the water for a while. Pro-tip; if you aren't used to wearing shorts in the water, don't forget to check the pockets!

Also for the beach:
A beach bag; I use a gigantic $1 bag from Marshalls. Turkish towels if you have them, one per person. They are lightweight and pack small. Phone case. Packable beach blanket. Mine folds down to the size of a soda can but easily fits 2 adults and a kid.

Also, see above, I bring a beach tent and a hat and a giant vat of sunscreen to the beach.

I bring my own dive gear (mask, snorkel, flippers) but you don't have to.

I bring a twisty elastic clothesline that goes above the hotel bathtub to dry swim gear.

For the flight: compression socks, a good blanket. I get freezing on flights and often bring a packable puffy. Sundress plus fleece leggings, if you have a dress that works -- then peel off the leggings at the airport. One thing to bear in mind is that it can be a long flight with no food. [/quote]
