Fleece or midlayer
The layer you'll wear more than any other.
Warm hat (beanie)
Lows dip to 41°F and wind gusts reach 20 km/h, so a warm hat blocks heat loss at the ears and neck.
Sunscreen SPF 50
UV index hits 5.7 in April sun, even on overcast days when you forget you need protection.
Polarized sunglasses
Polarized lenses cut water glare on coastal walks and reduce eye strain in bright conditions.
Tick remover
Check ankles and, if there's a dog, paws and ears every night.
Travel first aid kit
Urban terrain and coastal access mean minor scrapes and blisters happen faster than you think.
