If you're traveling in a group, bring something you can all do. For instance, a deck of waterproof cards is great for the beach, as long as it's not too windy. You could also bring a board game that doesn't have too many parts. A game like Twister, for instance, would be great for the beach. Remember to include fun for the kids in your group. On the beach, all you need are some simple toys, such as buckets, shovels, and other cheap toys. Your kids will have a blast in the sand and water. Music is a great way to keep people entertained. For a simple solution, you could bring along a waterproof, battery-powered radio, like a shower radio. However, you can also use waterproof bluetooth speakers so you can play music from your phone. You'll enjoy just lounging for a bit, but you might also want something to enjoy all on your own. For instance, take a light book you've been meaning to dive into. The beach is the perfect time to do it.  If you take an e-reader, make sure it's okay in the glare of the sun, and that you have a portable charger for it if you need it. You may also want a portable charger for your phone. Slip the e-reader into a zip-top bag to protect it. You could also take activity books such as crossword puzzles and Sudoku books. If you're planning to stay at the beach for a few hours, you're going to want some snacks and drinks to get you through. Keep it fairly simple. If you choose anything too complicated that requires assembly, you'll likely end up with sand in your food.  Some good snacks to take include fruit, granola bars, vegetable sticks, and bottles of water. Skip the sodas as those don't hydrate as well. In fact, if you're planning on staying all day, consider just packing lunch. Though you can take a cooler for drinks, you might want to pick something that won't spoil easily, such as a peanut butter and jelly. Bring a small bag for any trash you may accumulate. It may be difficult to find a trashcan at the beach. Bring moist towelettes with your food. You can use them to clean up hands before and after your eat. When you get to the beach, you need to stake out a claim. It's good to go early in the day, when it's less crowded. That way, you'll have more opportunity to find a good spot.  Pick a spot near the water but not so near you'll be overrun if the tide comes in. If the beach has chairs or umbrellas for rent, consider renting one to make life easier. Stick with like-minded beach goers. That is, if you're there to party and have fun with your friends, pick an area where people are being louder and playing music. If you prefer a quiet place to read, try to find a more secluded spot. If you're there with your family, look for other families to be near, so your kids can play together.
