"When moving to Spanish Wells, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, and sundresses. Don't forget your swimwear, as you'll likely spend a lot of time at the beach. Pack a good pair of sandals that are comfortable for walking, as well as water shoes for exploring the ocean floor. A pair of dress shoes or nice sandals would also be useful for dining out or attending events. Sun protection is crucial in the Bahamas, so be sure to pack a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and plenty of high-SPF sunscreen. Bring along your toiletries, including any specific brands you prefer, as they may be more expensive or difficult to find on the island. If you plan on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite spices or non-perishable food items, as grocery selection can be limited and more expensive in Spanish Wells. Pack your important documents, such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary immigration paperwork. Don't forget your electronics, like your phone, laptop, and chargers. An international power adapter might also be useful. If you enjoy water sports, you might want to bring your own snorkeling or diving gear. Lastly, pack a good book or two for relaxing on the beach, and a sturdy reusable water bottle to stay hydrated in the heat," said another expat in Spanish Wells, Bahamas.
