Beach must have's

When I was a teen at the ocean I learned the hard way to always bring the sunscreen so of course that is one of my own haves, but is there anyone with weird quirks about what they bring? I also always need to have a book, even if I do not read it, its there, just in case.

What about an extra change of clothes and a towel.. just in case

OH and picnic essentials as well. I love picnics

I have always brought too much with me to the beach! I have brought a chair, art supplies, books to read, my phone, my ipod and snacks. LOL. It's like my own portable house. My friends always tease me about it.

I bring the sunblock and my shades whenever I go to the beach. For entertainment, I bring the Frisbee and the binoculars. I don't bring books because I shouldn't have gone to the beach if I'm going to read.

I always have a crossword or a sudoku everytime I go to the beach. There is always the time when I'm not in the mood to swim or walk around the beach. I will do the crossword or sudoku instead of just sitting down and doing nothing.

I bring great books to read every time I go. I think I might check out some beaches a bit further north than what I see around here. I hear that Florida is pretty cold right now, otherwise flight down there would be fun. :D
