Quick answer

Pack casual, breathable beachwear, swimwear, light linen or cotton shirts, and a wide-brim hat.

The practical answer

For footwear, bring flip-flops/sandals, sturdy water shoes for rocky tide pools, and comfortable walking sneakers for sand dunes. A windbreaker or light fleece is useful for breezy boat rides and cool winter evenings.
