camping on the beach


baby powder to get sand off
more fresh water than you think you need, washing with salt water sucks after a day

some good lights for night fishing.
crabbing lines and bait while you fish.

Some of my favorite memories are beach camping on Matagorda Island and Big Shell beach (N. Padre Island) in Jr. High
