Get Acquainted
Once you know where to go, you and your beach vacation travel buddy have to get to know your beach. Are there irritating bugs lurking in the sand? Are there painful or, even, deadly things swimming in the water? If so, are these year-round or seasonal dangers? Are there microbes that hang out around water or forests that you need vaccination against? Some beaches are littered with cafes while others are deserted, so you may need to bring food and water. Plus, you and your beach vacation travel buddies may need to bring a bag or container, so you can take your trash with you when you leave.
