What should I pack when moving to Santa Catalina?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Santa Catalina to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Santa Catalina, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses. Don't forget to pack a good quality sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. Since Santa Catalina is a popular surfing destination, you might want to bring your surf gear. If you enjoy snorkeling or diving, pack your equipment as well. Pack a good pair of walking shoes for exploring the town and hiking in the nearby Coiba National Park. Also, include a pair of sandals or flip-flops for the beach. Remember to bring your necessary medications and a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack insect repellent to protect against mosquitoes. Pack your personal hygiene items, although keep in mind that most of these can be purchased locally. Don't forget your important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or permits. If you plan on cooking, you might want to bring some of your favorite spices or condiments, as the selection may be limited in local stores. Lastly, pack a good book or two for those lazy beach days, and any other personal items that will make your new place feel like home," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Santa Catalina, Panama.
