Beach chairs and umbrellas at Costco

[PamMo]

We bought a beach "tent" like Denise posted, at Costco last year (around $50), and have brought it back to Hawaii a couple of times. It is GREAT! It's super quick & easy to set up, and provides much needed shade. We have blonde hair and ghostly pale skin in our family (and DH is a dermatologist), so sunscreen and shade is essential! I don't think we'll ever go to the beach without it now.

Also, the bellmen at WKORV/WKORVN seem to collect beach "stuff" from departing guests. You might want to check with them. We always give away our beach toys when we leave, as do many others. We were offered chairs, boogie boards, etc, on our second to the last day.

What ever your reasons for not liking sunscreen, you definitely won't like any type of cancer that sun burn can cause you.

I agree. I do take extraordinary measures to not expose my skin. Hence, the shirt, hat, etc while fully in the shad while at the beach. The part that got exposed by reflection was very similar to putting on sun screen and leaving an unexpected area un protected.

As I was looking at this thread, I notice the "sticky" above for coordinating leaving of beach paraphernalia to another TUGGer. I like the pay it forward idea.
