🎪What to pack for a beach festival (Without overpacking)

Festival season is calling and this year's hottest venues are where the sand meets the sound. Whether you're hitting up Barcelona beach festival, Zamna Tulum or an island pop up with the DJ sets under the stars, packing for a beach fest is part art, part survival skill. 

You want to look good, stay comfy and pack light, because no one wants to drag a 25kg suitcase through sand, so here's your no fuss, high-vibe packing list for any beach festival, straight from your Salty Bottom crew. 

1. Swimwear that doubles as an outfit

Swimwear isn't just for swimming, it is the outfit. Pack:

• 2-3 bold bikinis

• 1 sleek one-piece

Style tip: pair your top with some pants or a mini skirt for a full day to night outfit
