What should i wear to avalon

What do you bring? Here is a list of essential and some nice to have items you will want to include in your luggage depending on the length of your stay or activities you want to do. Beach Tote You will want to have a nice large tote to carry all of your beach items like a book, water bottle, snacks, chapstick and sunscreen to have on hand during those afternoons by the water. Maybe you can even fit your donut floaty to blow up at Descanso Beach Club and float with a buffalo milk in hand.

Towel Whether you want to lay out by the water or rent out a SUP or kayak, you may want a beach towel or two. On beautiful and hot days on the Island, you will definitely want to jump into the Mediterranean climate water.

Water Shoes Some of the beaches do get a little rocky, so you may want to pack some water shoes to avoid hurting feet at the end of the day. A Change of Clothes You obviously want to bring a bathing suit to this paradise.

If you plan on getting in the water, you might want to think about a change of clothes just in case. Note: If you are staying overnight, your hotel will most likely have beach chairs and towels available for you to take to the beach. Backpack A backpack to hold all of your belongings is a great essential for a nice hike. There are lockers available at the ferry dock, but the hiking routes are a little further away, so a backpack is a great tool to help you keep your belongings close by.

Hiking Shoes Comfortable shoes are a must as many people will do a considerable amount of walking throughout the Island even with a golf cart during your vacation. Camera There are so many Instagram worthy stops as you hike around the Island so you want to capture memories. A light jacket: The weather on Catalina Island is just about perfect. Thanks to the moderating impact of the ocean, temperatures rarely exceed 85 and seldom drop below The sun shines, on average, a remarkable days a year and Catalina Island rainfall averages about a dozen inches annually, so chances are, no matter what season you are packing for, the weather will be wonderful.

If you do forget, many of the shops in Avalon and Two Harbors will have a wide selection to the choose from. Is it common?

Not so much, at least on our cruise. Temps are going to be different for you, of course Personally, I don't find jeans very practical for travel. They are uncomfortable if they get wet, especially if it is cold, they are uncomfortable if it is too hot, and they are hard to wash and take a long time to dry.

I don't understand it, but I know that lots of people love their jeans. I know exactly what you mean, we aren't dressy people either. I chose Avalon especially because they do seem more relaxed and casual. I do own some capris that I will have, but my longer pants will be jeans. We have the advantage of travelling in May, so hopefully it will be a bit warmer. I did get some nicer sleeveless tops easy to pack, and I can wear them under a sweater , so I figure sitting in the dining room, no one will notice if I have jeans on or not, and if it bothers them, then that's their problem.

I've spent most of the last 10 years working mainly in Dallas, TX and even our corporate banking team would wear jeans to a business meeting. Personally I tend to live, work and travel in jeans including hot climates not that all that many get hotter than Dallas in the summer.

One of the great things about river cruising is the much more informal dress code onboard, and certainly no need to dress any differently there than you would at home for an evening out Personally I will sometimes switch out the jeans for chinos in the evening but that is more of a style choice than a necessity. Jeans will be perfectly fine! Lots of people wore jeans to dinner on our Avalon cruise last May. Anything else is fine.

Enjoy your cruise! Sent from my iPhone using Forums. I don't travel with jeans either - for most reasons you mention, gnome12 ;- But also, I almost never wear jeans at home either - I'm much more a black pant sort of woman Thank you so much for all of the great replies!

I feel much more confident and prepared to pack now :. Jeans are very impractical IMHO for international travel. That said, I don't think anyone on Avalon will say a thing to you, and you are likely not to be the only person wearing jeans.

There really is no dress code. I used to wear technical clothing usually in dark colors, think North Face hiking pants although I often wore other brands. These are comfortable, more water resistant and since they are dark color you look more European.

I now where a different brand Kuhl. They have a pant called Renegade that I wear almost exclusively, they have zip pockets on the sides to make it harder for pickpockets which are sometimes a concern when travelling through airports and big cities in Europe.

They have an upgraded version for when you are really concerned about pickpockets called the Destroyer. Both of these pants are very water resistant, available in black for wearing anywhere at any time while on vacation.

We walked about in the rain all day in Budapest at the end of a river cruise in and while I was damp I never felt wet or uncomfortable. I don't pack a lot of jeans because they're heavy and they take a long time to dry. There are pants made out of lightweight, quick drying fabric that are a lot more practical for travel.

Maybe nobody bothered him, but really, the restaurants are lovely elegant places. What you describe sounds great. I bought similar Columbia pants there.

Never saw a one. Not everyone cares about dressing up and aren't worried about other's opinions. We dressed business casual and we were fine. How he dressed didn't impact my enjoyment so I wasn't bothered. Life's too short to be unhappy or uncomfortable. You can go to Kuhl's home page. That is where I buy mine.

They are not cheap, and they never discount them online and you pay shipping. We haven't cruised with Avalon but dear friends have and they say it is all about the traveller being comfortable and enjoying the cruise.
