Pack light and plan to be casual

Suggested items:

  • passport of course – required for travel to Mexico
  • cash – no ATMs or banks and credit cards largely not accepted
  • flashlights or headlamps
  • walking/hiking shoes
  • swim suits
  • sun screen and bug repellent
  • beach shoes
  • comfortable clothing for warm weather and cooler evenings
  • camera
  • sunglasses and a hat
  • binoculars
  • toiletries
  • books and playing cards or games
  • upset tummy remedies
  • earplugs to block out Wed. and Sat. fiesta nights
  • cell phones – there’s cell service in Yelapa, check your plan for rates
  • a big appetite – so much great food and drink here!
  • computers or devices for remote work and school (fast and reliable internet service provided by Yelapa Wifi)

Don’t bring:

  • electrical adapters if you are from the US and Canada – you don’t need them in Mexico
  • expensive jewelry – the ocean is fond of collecting wedding rings
  • fancy clothes or shoes
