What to Pack for Your Beach Vacation at Beachy Keen

Preparing for a vacation at our favorite place, Beachy Keen in Oxnard, California, has been made as simple as possible with all the amenities that are already available! So what should you pack when getting ready? Let’s walk through a rather small list of things that aren’t included with your stay to be sure you are ready to hit the waves as soon as you arrive!

1. At least one swimsuit

This one is obvious. You can’t go to the beach without a swimsuit in hand. Depending on your preference of activity, you may want to bring more than one. There is snorkeling, paddle boarding, surfing, sailing, kayaking, and, of course, swimming. Each of these activities can require its own type of swimsuit, so come prepared to have all the adventures in any type of suit you may need! Helpful tip: towels are available at the house once you arrive, but you may want to pack your own just in case you need extra.

2. Activewear for your activity of choice

In addition to all the fun water activities, Oxnard offers excellent opportunities for outdoor excursions. Whether running on the beach in the mornings, biking, fishing, or volleyball are your thing, Oxnard has something for you. Be sure to pack your favorite gear to ensure you have the time of your life while enjoying the stunning views around you. 

3. Sunscreen

The sun is a wonderful and challenging thing all at the same time, so you’ll want to throw in a bottle of sunscreen in your suitcase, too. Even if you forget to pack this all-important item for your stay, don’t worry. There are plenty of stores nearby to grab some sunscreen within minutes of the Beachy Keen house to ensure you are never without something you may need. It is just helpful to have when you arrive if you are like us and can’t wait to get to the beach!

4. A good book or board game to share

Want to get caught up on your TBR pile while on your beach vacation? Bring a good book along to ensure you have something to relax with to make your vacation that much more enjoyable. 

Or if you’d like to find a fun way to spend time with your kids, bring a board or card game to share. We do keep a few board games on hand at Beachy Keen, but you’re welcome to bring your favorites. 

You can play inside, or take the games out to enjoy on the patio. The private outdoor area will make enjoying the beautiful Southern California evenings easy while enjoying a fun new game with friends or family.

5. Toiletries 

Pack your favorite bath items to bring along, like shampoo, conditioner, face wash, and soap. Throw in a bath bomb to relax in one of the tubs while staying here. Take your relaxation to the next level and include a face mask or two as well. You can create your own little spa day during your stay here at Beachy Keen!

6. Toys (if you have kids)

Bring toys if you have younger kids along. While we do have a fun corn hole game in the backyard for you to enjoy, your kids may miss their most loved toys while away from home. Having their favorite toys to keep them entertained for a while is always a good idea, in our book. 

Just don’t forget to take them back home with you when you go! However, if your kid does happen to leave behind their cherished lovey, reach out to us and we’ll be sure to get it back to you.

With a fully furnished home and several stores close by, you don’t need to pack much to enjoy your stay in Oxnard at Beachy Keen. If you have questions about any specific things provided, feel free to contact us with those questions. Book your stay today!
