My fourth visit to St. Martin in as many years is fast approaching. I found this forum a few months before my first visit and it has provided a treasure trove of tips, referrals, and recommendations. One of the handiest little items that was discussed at the time was the Brica Deluxe Snack Pod. It’s advertised as a stroller attachment for drinks and snacks but it’s a fantastic item for attaching to loungers and chairs and keeping your drinks out of the sand. We’ve been asked about them many times on the beach. I bought them from Amazon and for a couple of years they were unavailable but I recently noticed they are stocking them again. For US Amazon customers, they can be seen HERECanadian customers can see them HEREI’d like to hear about other items that you just have to pack for the beach and holiday that make it more enjoyable.

Chair pads for the chairs at Club O beach. A small folding table to keep our drinks from getting sand in them. A good book or two.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

I like the Contigo brand stainless steel travel mugs which are vacuum sealed and don’t leak. They keep the beer cold for a loooong time and they fit into the table slots and the Brica holder. I hear Yeti is really good too but they’re really expensive.

We plan to take cheap ($3) blow up pool floats. We inflate them half way or so, put them on Cedric's chairs and cover with a towel. Comfy like a cushion but not bulky. Takes minimal luggage room and we leave them at resort for others to use.

We brought a Safego locking beach safe and locked it to our lounge chairs, with cell phones, keys, etc. in it, which worked well. The only downfall is it is a little bulky to pack with just carry on bags. Also have some soft beach chair cup holders that have a wire in them and pack flat. They just twist in between the webbing.

Baggies for storing leftovers, clothes pins to hang wet bathing suits, and if you intend to cook, small containers of your favorite spices. I always brought MY tea bags, sugar and coffee for hubby so as not to have to buy a quantity we would not use.
