[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plastic tote for clothes, one for each person. this prevents clothes from getting damp, very necessary if you're camping at the beach. We even bought a cheap small tent for storage and getting changed. [/quote]

I was going to post this exact thing!!  I have a few more things to add for beach camping.  Instead of beach stakes for your tent, cut a 2x4 about a foot long and put 2 holes about 2 or 3 inches apart down the board in the middle.  When you set up your tent, dig a hole for the board and use rope to go through the 2 holes and through the stake loop on the tent.  Put the board in the dug hole and fill with sand.  Do this for every loop on the tent.  Beach storms can be severe and your tent won't go anywhere.

No square tents at the beach, they don't take wind well.  Dome tents only.

A screen tent is essential for getting out of the sun, hexagonal better than square for wind.  Standard tents don't have enough ventilation and get very hot midday.

We spent many happy weeks camping at Assateague in the 90s and had an awesome campsite after the first 2 years.  [/quote]
