Dominican Republic Packing List Essentials

Dominican Republic coastal sceneryWhen one thinks of the Dominican Republic, one thinks of only bringing their swimsuit and lightweight clothing. While those items are vital to your trip to the Dominican Republic, here are a few more items to consider to take with you.

1. Hat or Sunglasses

Expect warm weather and plenty of sun in the Dominican Republic. Bring along sunglasses and a hat to protect yourself when outdoors.

2. Sunscreen.

Most hotels and resorts sell sunscreen, although very overpriced. Make sure to pack sunscreen to protect yourself against the sun and to save money.

3. Light Jacket.

Even though the weather in the Dominican Republic is warm, evenings can bring a cool breeze from the ocean.

4. Anti-Diarrhea Medicine.

Many travelers experience diarrhea as a result of the water or the food prepared in some restaurants. Bringing along anti-diarrhea medicine is the best choice.
