One definite item you need to pack for this trip is a good pair of beach shoes or footwear. A coral beach is lovely, but could be very hard on the feet if you walk barefoot.

You don't need to pack any beach towels or a beach bag. They are provided in your room when you arrive. For your comfort you will have sun loungers and parasols available for your day in the sun.
