Summer Clothes and Footwear

Guadeloupe is a tropical destination. With its warm sunshine, beautiful beaches, and hiking trails, you'll need to adapt your wardrobe based on your location and activities. The amount of clothing you pack will depend on the length of your stay in Guadeloupe. If you're traveling with family, the packing task becomes a bit more challenging.

Generally, you should bring:

• Underwear: underwear, boxers, bras
• A few pairs of lightweight socks to wear with hiking shoes (preferably thin fabric, as it's warm in Guadeloupe). Don't pack too many, as you'll be in sandals most of the time
• Light tops (T-shirts, tank tops, tunics, shirts, sweaters, etc.)
• Bottoms (shorts, pants, skirts, dresses, jumpsuits, etc.)

Choose your clothes and put together outfits based on the places you'll explore and your tourist activities:

• Casual city wear
• Sports wear
• Beach outfits: swimsuit, sarong, flip-flops
• Evening wear (just in case…)
• Pajamas
• Hiking shoes, sandals
