Planning a summer getaway to Myrtle Beach? With warm temperatures, beautiful ocean views, and endless things to do, your vacation at Grande Cayman Resort is sure to be unforgettable. But before you can kick off your flip-flops and sink your toes in the sand, you’ll want to make sure your suitcase is packed with all the essentials.
Clothing Essentials
Myrtle Beach summers are hot and sunny, so light and breathable clothing is key. Here are the basics to bring:
- Lightweight T-shirts, tank tops, and shorts
- A couple of swimsuits or swim trunks
- A beach cover-up or sundress
- Flip-flops or sandals for the beach
- Comfortable walking shoes for exploring or shopping
- One nicer outfit for dining out or a night on the town

If you plan to visit local attractions like mini golf, amusement parks, or museums, comfortable clothing and shoes will keep you cool and relaxed.
Beach & Sun Protection
You will be spending plenty of time in the sun, so make sure you are protected. These items are must-haves for the beach or pool:
