Trust me; these packing tips will save you time, money, and stress!

Miami is a beach city, so pack your swimsuit!

As a beach city, Miami is the perfect place to enjoy the sun and ocean. Pack your swimsuit so you can enjoy the water activities that the city has to offer. Snorkeling, swimming, and stand-up paddleboarding are just a few of the many ways you can cool off in Miami.

Don't forget the sunscreen

One of the most important things to remember when packing for a trip is to pack sunscreen. No matter where you are going or what the weather is like, sunscreen is a must. The sun’s rays can be damaging to your skin, causing premature aging and skin cancer.

There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a sunscreen. First, choose a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Second, make sure the sunscreen is broad-spectrum, meaning it will protect against both UVA and UVB rays. And third, choose a water-resistant sunscreen if you’ll be spending time in the water.

When applying sunscreen, be sure to use enough to cover all exposed skin. Rub it in well, and reapply every two hours or more often if you’re sweating or swimming.

A light jacket for the evenings

A light jacket is essential for that evening walks on the beach. I brought a denim jacket with me, and I'm so glad I did! It's the perfect cover-up for when the sun goes down, and the temperature starts to drop.

Comfortable shoes for walking around

There's nothing worse than being on vacation and having your feet hurt from walking around all day. That's why it's important to pack comfortable shoes that you can walk around in all day without having to worry about your feet getting sore.

One of the most important things to look for in a comfortable shoe is good support. This means that the shoe should have good arch support and be well-cushioned. Another thing to look for is a shoe with a breathable upper, so your feet don't get too hot and sweaty when you're walking around in them.

A few of our favorite comfortable shoes for walking around are the Merrell Moab 2 Mid Waterproof hiking boots, the Adidas Ultra Boost running shoes, and the Nike Free RN Flyknit running shoes. All of these shoes have great support and cushioning, and they're also lightweight and breathable so your feet will stay comfortable even when you're doing a lot of walking.

A hat or sunglasses to keep the sun out of your eyes

When packing for a trip to Miami, be sure to include a hat or sunglasses to keep the sun out of your eyes. The sun can be very intense in Miami, so it is important to have some form of protection for your eyes. A wide-brimmed hat or a pair of sunglasses will do the trick.

Pack light, but don't forget your essentials

When packing for a trip, it is important to pack light. However, there are some essentials that you should not forget to pack. These include:

• sunscreen
• sunglasses
• hat
• beach towel
• swimsuit
• snacks and drinks
• camera
