The most obvious thing to pack for protecting eyes and looking stylish. In the coastal regions, the reflection is relatively high, and wearing sunglasses would definitely rest your eyes. Polarized sunglasses could be a good option.

3. Rubber Footwear: Make sure you are packing the right footwear for Goa. A pair of rubber footwear, flip flop, crocs or floaters are best to choose. Don't forget your sneakers if you are planning to have some sports. If you are planning to go clubbing/cruise dinner then you can plan to have some formal shoes/heels.

4. Sunscreen: Must-have item for Goa. It is highly recommended that you always apply sunscreen before you go out to enjoy the beaches in Goa. You can consider buying waterproof sunscreen lotion with SPF level is 40 or 50. Also, make sure you reapply it after a few hours.

5. Swimwear/Beachwear: Don't go on a beach vacation without this, otherwise you will regret it. Can dry quickly and doesn't take up much space. Also, take a quick-drying towel too.

For men the range of clothing may include simple chinos or linen pants and shirts, shorts also work well. Also for females, adorable cotton dresses, tank tops, spaghetti straps, scarf, sarongs, multi-drape coverups and cotton shorts are the ideal choices. Carry some dresses for a romantic evening dinner and beach parties.

Keep mosquito repellent too if you are planning to go to beaches post-sunset.
