For the beach, I bring way fewer clothes than a normal trip. Since the beach takes up such a long part of the day, you are barely using the other clothes.

Do you have access to a washer/dryer?

My kids are really messy - they would need 2 sets of clothes a day. But we also rarely go somewhere without access to washer/dryer.

We never need 2 outfits in a day. A typical beach day would be PJs to bathing suits to outfits to PJs. If we were going something in the morning, then we would end up at the beach in the late afternoon and it would be PJs to outfit to bathing suit to PJs.

Bring half of what you think you’ll need and do laundry when you’re there. You don’t need 50 suitcases to lug around when you’ll probably wear the same thing more than once anyway

Good lord! You need to travel with a steamer trunk! You take clothes that you can wash and wear. One large suitcase for entire family.


Not PP, but I can pack that into a carry-on. That's not a lot.

This is for kids packing, do you do two outfits a day? Is it weird to rewear clothes from earlier in the day or do you judge by how sweaty or messy the kids got?



After the beach, shower, then change into clean clothes for dinner. Lay those clothes out and put them on the next morning. Unless the kids are very small and can't have a dinner without messing up a shirt. I do bring plenty of extra undies.

My girls will rewear clothes but my son’s clothes are immediately covered in sweat. He’s always been that way. So I think judge based on your own kids. When we travel, I usually end up with three piles at the hotel — gross goes in a plastic bag in the base of the closet; rewear goes on a chair; clean stays in the suitcase.

Highly dependent on whether you are staying in a place with a washer/dryer. If washer dryer then pack for a few days only. If not then 3 dinner outfits and maybe one outfit a day plus 1-2 extra.

This idea is the best. Also, we always plan on doing some laundry at the beach (we rent houses with washers/dryers), so we launder as needed. I’d rather that than overpack.

This is what we’ve always done. My end goal is to have as little laundry as possible when I get home! More than one outfit a day, not including bathing suits, is too much for me.

Yes OP my kids rewear clothes. Usually the same way mentioned above - clean stuff goes on for dinner and gets reworn the next morning. Also, we stay at a house with laundry so I usually just pack everyone 3 outfits (plus the one we came in) for a week trip.
