[quote=Anonymous]I just took my 7-mo old to the beach and it turned out she was afraid of the ocean and hated the sand.  So she really did not enjoy it that much b/c I had to hold her most of the time (to keep her from getting completely covered in sand) and she wanted to get down and play, but every time I put her down, she was unhappy b/c she didn't like the sand.

I think "dumping all his toys on a blanket and letting him roll around" will be good for about 10 minutes until everything is covered with sand and he has sand in his mouth and all over his face.

After our first day on the beach, I brought the stroller on the other days so the baby had someplace to sit that was up & out of the sand.  She ended up sleeping in the stroller under an umbrella for a little bit.  But our longest beach day with her was about 3 hrs.  The other days I had her there for about an hour before she really needed to leave.  My husband stayed with the other kids.

We also had an inflatable boat for the bigger kids to use, and I put some water in that and let her sit in it and that was about the most fun she had on the beach b/c it was like a tiny swimming pool for her.

Other babies love the sand and the waves and will stay all day.  Mine didn't.  I guess you won't know until you get there. [/quote]
