What to pack for Dominica in the summer

When packing for a summer trip to Dominica, it's important to prioritize light, breathable clothing to stay cool and comfortable in the warm and humid climate.

Opt for lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics such as cotton, linen, or blends to help combat the intense heat. Pack plenty of shorts, tank tops, and light, loose-fitting tops to keep cool during the day.

Don't forget to include a swimsuit or two for enjoying the island's beautiful beaches, as well as a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses for sun protection. In the evening, the temperature may cool down slightly, so it's a good idea to pack a light jacket or cardigan for when the sun goes down. Additionally, comfortable walking shoes or sandals are a must for exploring the island's natural attractions and hiking trails.

A waterproof or quick-drying jacket might also come in handy for unexpected rain showers.
