Dont forget your children !!! Here on my beach just this last week end... three children were lost on Saturday...Put a whistle around your childs neck with yarn during summer...Come on people... Be somewhat responsible...A Los Angeles life guard...

If you plan to get in the water at the beach, you may want to include in your beach tote a quick remedy for jellyfish stings; i.e., small container of white vinegar, tweezers, small container shaving cream, credit card. Apply white vinegar to sting; use tweezers to remove tenacles; apply shaving cream to sting; scrape downward to remove shaving cream with a credit card; apply more vinegar or salt water (fresh water makes the sting worse).

you should always carry condoms, a gun, a boloney sandwich , and a photo of Pee Wee Herman. That way, no matter what you come across you will have a solution to thwart what lies ahead.

Oh, Heidi. You have kids and you don't know to include baby powder in your beach bag?

If you are actually going to be on the sand, bring a little bottle of baby powder. When you are ready to leave, rub some baby powder on to remove sand. It works better than just using water.

Why is this neccesary? Are people that stupid that they can't decide what to carry in their own beach bag? **SIGH**
