Clothes

  Beach Clothes and accessories

• Aqua socks or water sandals
  If you plan on walking on the beach, there are some areas that may have rocks or build-up of turtle grass.
• Swimming Suit
• Swimming Trunk
• Goggles
• Snorkel, Fins and Mask
  Mayan Beach Garden has snorkeling equipment for rent, but if you are not an average size, or to assure the best fit, you may want to bring your own
• Diving equipment
• Lycra wet suit
  We recommend light-weight wetsuits for snorkeling, not because the water is cool, but because you can get severely sunburned snorkeling all day! It's the best protection.
• Beach Towel(we gave small lightweight ones)

 

First Aid, Hygiene Supplies and Sundries

• Mild pain-killers such as Ibuprofen or aspirin
• Prescriptions
• Band aids
• Anti-bacterial cream
• Antacid
• Pepto-bismal
• Waterproof Suntan Lotion
• Sunburn lotion
• Bug repellent
• Facial Cleanser
• Tooth Brush
• Tooth Paste
• Facial Cream
• Razor
• Comb
• Hair Clip
• Rubber Band
• Nail Clipper
• Sanitary Pads and tampons
• Deodorant
• Small amount of toilet paper
  This may seem odd, but many public toilets in Mexico do not supply toilet paper. Mexicans are used to this and bring their own. It's always a good idea to come prepared with a small amount to use as you travel around.
