I'm creating this answer as a community wiki1, since everyone comes to the question and posts a single idea beneath it as a comment :) Instead of doing so, we might want to add the ideas to this li...
Sandals with straps like a Chaco Or run barefoot first thing in the morning Or run down in the surf
I think one of the reasons for the popularity of fishermen hat types is that they are easily rolled up/folded and put away in a pocket. The same is not possible with most traditional (felt) hats, a...
I would recommend to put the kayak on the roof, and put the bicycles on a rear bicycle rack. It should work if you have at most two bicycles. Source: Hadhuey, Wikimedia Commons
Unless you're at high tide, walk just below the high tide line. The damp sand is firmer and easier to walk on as well as cooler. To get there, in sandals you can step vertically onto the sand and...
The ankle support of hiking boots is a myth. Being heavy and more cumbersome, you are more like to turn an ankle wearing them across some rocky paths than being more nimble in a trail runner or hi...

For me it seems to be more a fashion thing than extremely useful. Of course you can clip the mug to the outside of your backpack or anywhere on the campside but I doubt you really need this. Never...
One real advantage is that a metal carabiner will rattle against a metal mug. Build the carabiner into the handle and that can't happen. This rattling may be simply annoying most of the time, but...

This is called rolling, inverting, or capsizing. What happens is that the knot turns inside out, and part of the tail is consumed. If this happens repeatedly, or the tail is short, you can use up t...
I would vote for the Potter wasp. The nests of it look like a jug made out of mud. The potter wasps have at least two generations each season. That might explain why you've had this nest twic...

Well, it seems that everyone goes with either walk on the wet sand or protect your feet... However, I've done this in the past since I was a kid (overtime you get used to the hot sand): the really ...
I guess dirty water is better than no water. I don't think algae will kill them. The primary danger is parasites. Concrete cleaner is the easiest way to remove algae but be sure to rinse thoro...
