Keep Sand On The Beach

A day at the beach always ends with unwanted sand following you back to your car or house. Not only is it irritating to leave the beach covered in sand, but if your belongings are caked with sand it can become tiring. Although it is impossible to leave every grain of sand on the beach, you can seriously limit the amount of sand you take off the beach by following a few simple steps.


Instructions


1. Buy an open mesh or plastic bag to take to the beach. No matter how hard you try, your bag and belongings collect sand on the beach, but a bag that allows sand to fall out helps you leave as much sand on the beach as possible.


2. Sit on chairs instead of towels. Chairs can be dipped in the water before you leave the beach, ridding them of any excess sand, however wet towels collect sand and are heavy. Use your towels to simply dry yourself off and keep warm.


3. Wear flip-flops or other open-toe shoes. Sneakers and other closed-toe shoes can become filled with sand and they also do not allow sand to freely fall out while walking.


4. Rinse out toys and buckets before packing them up. Rinsing toys isn't always a fun thing to do at the end of the day, but the less sand you bring back, the easier your load. Buckets with sand can weigh you down, and you eventually have to get rid of the sand somewhere.
