Beach Bag Essentials

I love the BEACH!!! If I could live in a hut on the warm sand and lay out everyday, I would! Unfortunatly for me to get to the beach, I have to drive an hour and a half so to go everyday is not an option.  Maybe when I am retired I will fullfill this goal.  But for now I cherish the weekends spent down the shore.  When I go to the beach I like to fill my bag with only the essentials I will be needing.  I care with me usually a chair and small cooler, so the last thing I want to drag along is a heavy bag too.  Check out some things I couldn't live without!
