Being on a sailboat often means having a plethora of beach and wading opportunities. It also means space is at a premium. You'll have to load everything into the dinghy, or carry it with you if you are walking there.

I'm going to be heading back to the states, and am planning on upping my beach game. While the only thing I currently have is a little shade tent that I barely use, what I have on my list, based on hanging out with other cruisers at the beach, are as follows:

• Ball/Frisbee (catch is crazy fun, and as a grown up, I don't do it enough)
• Beach Chair (just to keep yourself off the sand)
• Portable cooler of some kind for beverages
• Beach blanket/towel (again, sand buffer)

What would you add?
