Oh that sounds nice!  I’m afraid I don’t have a lot of expertise on that though.
assistant
You don't know what people wear on a warm beach?
user
Nope, it’s just not my specialty.  It really is just clothing, not any sort of specialized expertise on the tropics or tropical regions.  Some of the things I’ve seen on pictures from tropical locations are a light skirt and some other thin layers, although I have no idea if that’s the typical summer outfit.

Okay. What should I pack for my kids if they're going to be swimming and playing in the sand?
user
Hm, well, that’s less a question about clothing, and more about what is necessary to keep them safe, and what is too many clothes, which means it's more about their safety than clothing, which is what I'm better at.  I guess I'd say pack light and stick to swimwear, as that is the most important thing in a tropical vacation.

Do I need any special skincare items for the beach?
