Planning a beach vacation at Glen Eden Beach Resort in beautiful Peregian Beach? Whether you're soaking up the sun in summer or enjoying the refreshing coastal air in winter, packing the right essentials can make all the difference. To help you prepare for your getaway, here’s your ultimate packing guide, tailored for both summer and winter seasons. At Peregian Beach SLSC, the beach is patrolled every Sunday from September to May by dedicated volunteer lifesavers.

Summer Packing Essentials

Swimwear

When it comes to swimwear, sun safety is essential! The summer sun can be quite intense, so it’s recommended to pack covered swimwear and hats for the kids. Don’t forget to bring a set or two for yourself, giving you the flexibility to enjoy either the beautiful pool area or the beach whenever you like!

Beach Towels

Oversized beach towels are essential for lounging on the sand and drying off after a refreshing swim. Look for quick-drying options to make your beach days even more enjoyable. And if you happen to forget your towels, don’t worry! We offer beautiful Turkish towels for purchase at reception, ensuring you’re always prepared for a day at the beach or by the pool.

Sunscreen

A must-have for any beach trip, sunscreen protects your skin from harmful UV rays. Opt for a broad-spectrum SPF 50, and don’t forget to reapply it every couple of hours, especially after swimming.

Beach Umbrella or Shade

To stay cool and protected from the sun, a beach umbrella or a portable sunshade is a wise addition. Look for options that are easy to set up and provide ample coverage.

Lightweight Clothing

Pack breathable, lightweight clothing such as sundresses, shorts, and tank tops. A light cover-up is also a great idea for transitioning from the beach to the resort, making it easy to enjoy a meal without feeling too exposed.

Flip-Flops or Sandals

Comfortable footwear is essential for walking on the sand and exploring the resort. Flip-flops or sandals will keep your feet cool and allow for easy movement.

Water Bottles

Stay hydrated during your sun-soaked days! Bring reusable water bottles to fill up at the resort, ensuring you always have fresh water on hand. As you may have noticed, we’re committed to reducing plastic waste. That's why we offer aluminum refillable bottles for purchase at reception, so you can stay hydrated while being environmentally friendly.

Beach Games

Bring along beach balls, paddleboards, or frisbees for fun in the sun with family and friends. Engaging in beach games can be a great way to create memories and enjoy quality time together. You can also rent beach cabanas and chairs at our reception, and enjoy complimentary body boards during your stay!

Beach Bag

A sturdy beach bag is crucial for carrying all your essentials. Look for one that’s sand-resistant and has multiple pockets for easy organization.

Winter Packing Essentials

Lightweight Layers

While winter in Peregian Beach is milder than many places, packing layers is still wise. Bring long-sleeve shirts, lightweight sweaters, and a light jacket for cooler evenings by the shore.

Comfortable Shoes

Pack comfortable walking shoes for exploring the local area and any nearby hiking trails. Sneakers or lightweight boots work well and will keep your feet cozy.

Beach Blanket

A cozy beach blanket is perfect for picnics or relaxing on the sand when the sun peeks out. It also adds a nice touch for enjoying time with family or friends.

Thermal Drink Container

Nothing beats warm drinks while watching the waves. A good thermal container can keep your coffee or tea hot during chilly mornings, ensuring you stay warm and cozy. No need to worry if you forget your mug—we have branded mugs available for purchase at reception. Enjoy your favourite beverages in style during your stay!

Sweater or Hoodie

Ideal for evening strolls on the beach, a sweater or hoodie will keep you comfortable when temperatures drop as the sun sets.

Waterproof Jacket

Be prepared for unexpected rain with a lightweight, waterproof jacket. It’ll keep you dry while still allowing for comfortable movement. We also have umbrellas available for sale, just in case you encounter a rainy day. Stay dry and enjoy your time, no matter the weather!

Portable Speaker

Enjoy your favourite tunes while relaxing at the beach. A portable speaker is perfect for setting the mood during winter beach outings.

Camera or Binoculars

Capture stunning winter sunsets or spot local wildlife and whales. Whether you’re into photography or birdwatching, these items will enhance your experience.

Books or E-Reader

Pack a few good books or an e-reader for quiet moments on the beach or by the resort pool. Reading is a fantastic way to unwind while enjoying the beautiful surroundings.

Additional Tips for All Seasons

• Local Regulations: Before you head out, check local guidelines regarding beach access, especially during certain seasons. This ensures you’re informed and can enjoy your time without any interruptions.
• Beach Etiquette: Remember to respect the environment. Bring trash bags to keep the beach clean, and follow any posted rules to preserve the beauty of Peregian Beach.
