Tips & Warnings
Offer magazines and books for people to enjoy if they shy away from games. Have extra beach chairs (with holders for cups) and tanning supplies or umbrellas on hand.
Provide big beach blankets for people to lounge on.
Supply plenty of drinks and chopped fruit snacks (think watermelon balls or mango slices) to keep guests hydrated while participating in games.
Check the beach rules and regulations. For an evening event, bring tiki torches or set a bonfire if permissible.
