What You'll Find in This Post

I’m a big fan of packing light and travelling only with vacation essentials. Florida’s warm climate is pretty easy to pack for but there are a few things to think about in advance like humidity, bugs, theme park attire and beach gear. At the end of this post, you’ll find a complete packing checklist for vacation to Florida to you can download, print or Pin to Pinterest.

Clothes to Pack for a Trip to Florida

The following lists of clothing for a trip to Florida will be enough for a week-long trip. When you’re chosing your clothes for your Florida vacation, make sure all your tops and bottoms mix & match. Remember, on trips longer than a week, you’ll be able to do laundry so if you’re travelling for longer this is still the maximum amount of clothing you’ll need. For weekend trips, just cut the number of shorts, t-shirts and underwear by half.

Toiletries to Pack for a Vacation to Florida

If you’re travelling as a couple or family, choose items you can share to help you pack light and get your toiletries into one toilet bag. Your toiletries essentials for your trip to Florida include:

  • Shampoo & Conditioner – Decant into travel size plastic bottles. These squeezable ones are best!
  • Brush & comb
  • Hair ties and headbands – Humidity can do crazy things to your hair!
  • Toothbrushes & toothpaste
  • Moisturiser
  • Shaving gear
  • Any medications or contact lenses you require
  • Lipbalm with SPF
  • Sunscreen – This is my favourite brand because it actually smells good too.
  • Bug spray
  • Small make-up bag – In humid climates like Florida, go with light make up. BB cream, eyeliner, mascara, lip gloss for day and red lipstick for evenings. This BB cream by Tarte is my absolute favourite for humid climates as it goes on silky smooth, doesn’t run and has SPF 30.

    How long is this list for? Like how many days of a trip would this list work for?

      My packing lists are all for one week. I only ever pack one week’s worth of clothes and figure I can wash them once on a two week or longer trip.
