The Paradise Coast is a casual, warm-weather destination, so informal, lightweight clothing will serve you well. For nights, especially in winter, consider bringing a sweater or blazer because the air can become cool. Air-conditioned restaurants, hotels and stores can also be chilly.

Hat or visor is very useful in the southwest. The sun is strong and visitors traveling from the north or abroad should have a hat handy to protect your face and head from the sunshine.
