While summer is winding down in many parts of the world, it’s still going strong in Playa del Carmen with no end to high temperatures in sight! ☀️

So if you’re planning to extend your summer with a visit to Mexico in the coming months, this week's email will help you prep for your trip!

I recently wrote up a new blog post with a list of 17 Mexico travel essentials you should consider packing for your next vacation.

These are small yet essential items that you can pick up easily on Amazon, and will help you to have a stress-free vacation in Mexico!

Here are the top 3 items on the list:

1. Biodegradable Sunscreen

Biodegradable sunscreen is absolutely essential if you are planning on swimming or snorkeling in the ocean.

Regular sunscreen is prohibited on most snorkeling tours and at the Xcaret parks because it can contain harmful chemicals that can damage the fragile marine environment.

So, you'll want to bring along some biodegradable reef-safe sunscreen to protect both your skin and the environment.

2. Water Shoes

Water shoes are a must if you're planning on visiting cenotes or any of the Xcaret adventure parks in Riviera Maya.

Plus, some beach areas can also be rocky, so they can come in handy even if you're just heading to the beach.

Trust me, you will be WAY more comfortable with water shoes than walking around barefoot!

3. Belt Bag

A belt bag (aka fanny pack) is also a great item to bring with you to keep your personal items secure as petty theft is not uncommon in Mexico.

It's a very convenient way to keep your phone, wallet, and other items safe and secure while shopping or out and about.

I personally use the Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag but there is also a really good look-a-like on Amazon that I've linked in the article!

So those are my top 3 must-haves for a Mexico beach vacation!

I read every email and I'm always happy to help.

¡Hasta pronto!
