You want to keep any items that may have sand on them away from your other items. The last thing you want is to return home and have sand over all of your belongings.
Second, the bugs at the beach and the hot sun can wreck havoc on your skin. Load up extra bug replant and sunscreen. The last thing you want to happen is have your beach day ruined by bug bites and sub burnt skin. Pack on the moisturizer. At night, apply moisturizer so your face can soak up the moisture to prepare for another hot beach day of fun.
