    I bring a good book, tons of sunscreen, big sunglasses, floppy hat, big towel, and a giant beach umbrella.

    I'm a vampire, apparently.

    I golf alot, and the polo shirts give me a wicked farmers tan. I look like a black man wearing a white t shirt when I take my shirt off, so I avoid the beach at all costs.

    I love beaches...and rivers...and lakes. I'm there to enjoy myself and don't care as much if I ahve a flabbalanche belly. Don't like it....don't look.

    I live in the mountains but I love beaches. The problem is I have my grandpas Irish skin so I burn very quickly before I tan.

    I would live at the beach if I could! Gotta remember the sunscreen & aloe (for after the inevitable sunburn), water, volleyball, and the dog!

    I haven't been to the beach in forever!!

    Last time I went to the beach, I was like 13...

    But, my kids and I go to the pool every day. Just gotta bring the sunglasses and sunblock so I don't burn my tattoos :)

    LOVE the beach. :glasses:

    I usually bring a book, sun glasses, sunblock, towel, bottle of water.

    And I usually go to the beach with clothes over my bathing suit that I can wear out and about, so if I leave briefly to get food, I'm not walking around in a bathing suit...
    I'm not "beach ready" in my opinion, yet. haha Working on it!!

    I have 2 months to get beach ready! Moving to Hawaii!!!! :bigsmile:

    L-O-V-E! Can't wait to get out there.

    I bring plenty of water, sunblock, a hat, umbrella, blankets, books, and sunglasses.

    If I'm eating lunch on the beach, I pack easy things like grapes, cherries, cut up veggies, and some type of sandwiches or wraps.

    I love the beach. We live nearby thankfully. As for what I take it depends on why we're going. My husband and I do a lot of beach walking, looking for shells and such, so we pack light for that. Just a shell bag and a sun hat. If we're going with friends we do the whole thing-- food to grill out, chairs, towels, sunscreen, sunglasses, bug spray, cooler with drinks, and usually our pugs.

    This is the first year I've hung out in a bikini with nothing over it. I'm really glad I got on top of this whole body transformation thing before we moved to Florida.

    I always loved the beach but was always hesitant on the 'bikini' especially going with my girlfriend who ate like *kitten* and had abs and was 5 years younger than I am... anyway... you get my drift. Now, I'm super stoked to get there and just enjoy the sun :)

    I love being at the beach, my must bring is a man to walk hand and hand with on the beach and play with splashing in the waves.

    I love the beach. I would spend every day there if I could.
    I bring a big hat, sunglasses, tanning lotion, snacks, a magazine or a book, a volleyball. And friends. Don't forget your friends or family.

    HATE. Other than seafood, which is amazing, I can't really enjoy anything about it. I hate sand, I'm pasty-white Irish so I hate sunlight. I burn, then peel, then I am just as white as before. No tan, ever. I'm hot-natured (and fat) so the heat doesn't do it for me.
    Give me mountains and cabins and quiet, please.

    I live in Pacific Beach, San Diego........ and it's officially swimsuit season here! That's another reason I'm here on MFP- I live at the beach, yet I'm not beach-ready :(

    I throw on a bikini and coverup and throw a few things in my bike basket:

    sunscreen
    tanning oil (with some spf)
    water bottle
    book or magazine
    headphones and iphone
    snacks
    towel
    sunglasses

    If we're doing a beach day with my fiance's kids, we'll bring ladderball, pail and shovel, frisbee, boogie boards

    The family and I had a wonderful time last year in Santa Monica, but I have been to some beaches that really sucked (gross, boring, scary people, jellyfish galore). It all depends:smile:

    Our family lives less than an hour from the beach. We make sure to bring the sunscreen, plenty of water and our metal detector. We like to go around 5pm or later when the beach is less crowded and the sun is not at it's peak as I am super fair skinned and so is my daughter.
