posted July 21, 2008 - 10:52am1) Customize Your Baggo

http://www.baggo.com, $109.95
Baggo (also called Cornhole in some parts of the country) is one of the most fun beach games that you can possibly own. While the rules are in depth and can be somewhat complicated, the idea is simply: throw the bean bags through the hole on the game board. Each Baggo set all you need to play the game, as well as a wall mounting bracket so that you can easily store your game when it's not being used.
2) Bud Light Radio Cooler

You will be the most popular guy or gal on the beach when you show up with this awesome radio cooler. This watertight cooler has built-in stereo speakers and input for a CD or MP3 player. You can lug around twenty cans of your favorite beachy beverage plus ice, so everyone will be able to have a cocktail.
3) WearEver Aluminum Hi-Back Backpack Beach Chair

http://www.beachchairs.com, $54.99
I know, I know. It's kind of a steep price to pay for a beach chair—but, believe me, it's worth it. This is the mother of all beach chairs that is extremely easy to move around because of its backpack carrying straps. There's also a handy storage pocket for you to stash sunscreen and snacks.
4) Stansport Beach Cabana Tent

With those of you who have little ones, you'll appreciate the shelter that a beach tent like this one offers. You'll be able to keep the kids (and yourself) in the shade and away from nasty UV rays while still being able to enjoy the ocean. Don't worry—this tent won't blow away on windy days due to its corner sandbags!
5) Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 30 & 45
