    Unless you come from a simila climate, you will need to bring and wear sunscreen. Remember you need to reapply it every four hours or so. To the same end you will want to wear sunglasses and a hat with a brim.

    We brought and used a little aloe vera burn relief gel.

    Water is expensive on town. If you find a place to buy bottled water cheap, you should, then bring as much with you as possible every time you go out.

    Very Important Section
  • Tip Rating:
  • I always use a squashy duffle with wheels. They are easy to manouvre and are like a tardis inside. I also take a ruck sac as hand carry which can double as an excursion bag when you reach your destination.

    When it's time to pack for your resort-based vacation, you'll want to bring comfortable, casual clothing for the breakfast/lunch dining rooms, daytime activities or sightseeing, and swimsuits and workout clothes for pools, Jacuzzis, saunas and health clubs. Many restaurants in resorts have dress codes that require dresses or pantsuits for women and slacks and a jacket (with or without tie) for men. Dress codes may be noted on the individual resort page, either in the dining section or under dress code.

    Pack all of your medications, prescription or otherwise, in a bag you can carry on your flights. Obtain extra prescriptions from your physician for any medications you are currently taking and carry them with you. Dont forget your contact lenses if you wear them!

    Bring a hat, sunscreen and sunglasses for bright, sunny days. You'll naturally want to bring your camera or video camera as well.

    Think about the kind of excursions you may take and pack accessories, where appropriate, such as hiking boots, ponchos or rain gear and snorkel gear.

    Those of you who are familiar with my pages know that I always strongly advise the use of 3 in 1 wipes.

  • Make sure you have plenty of sunscreen. The sun is very hot, especially if you are not use to it. It would also be a good idea to have something to cover up with - when you have had too much sun.

  • Always make sure you have your camera, film and other supplies with you. You may never be back here again, and you always want to be able to remember what you saw by taking pictures.

  • Take plenty of shorts and don't forget the swim suit.

    Take extra film - so you can capture the moments.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Carry- on will work well for a one week casual stay

    Take less than you think - We did no clubbing or 'night spots' so business casual was as formal as we needed. Spent most of the time in shorts and a t-shirt.

    Sun Screen!

    Packing List
  • Tip Rating:
  • Don't ever overpack. i am one of the worst offenders of this and at times I have paid dearly for it. Pack only what you intend to carry.

    Tennis shoes, one pair of dress shoes,swimming trunks,shorts, t-shirts, one or two nice shirts and some nice pants-For ladies only you know what you really need-:)

    Lots of Sunscreen and Suntan lotion. Also Sunburn creme and medication. Chapstick for windburn.

    Take a throw away camera, If you lose it you'll only lose some memories, not an expensive 500$ camera.

    Bring a good attitude, enough cash and have fun

    What not to pack
    Keep it light... Forget the dress clothes unless you are here for a job interview. Normal is shorts, polo shirts and any special items you need to suit your needs

    wear good walking shoes

    they can be purchased here

    they an be purchased here

    Buy them here and add to your collection

    Everything is more expensive in the Bahamas, but if you forget something, it will not kill you to add to the economy

    Ahh the joys of packing
    Listen, if you only reason to go to Nassau, Bahamas is only rest and relaxation, then pack light. Some shorts, tees and bathing suits. Enough said!

    Light clothing, comfy shoes (sandals for the beach or if you are going to venture towards the town, then some sneakers)

    Bring your own toilteries if you do not care for the hotels products (but if you forget something prepare to pay because it is quite expensive in the Bahamas).

    Bring on the Digital Camera. You can see the beauty of the ocean sky from your beautiful digital pictures.
