I'd have to go along with SharpShooter. You'll end up having to carry a lot of crap that just gets in the way. Of course, having something to blow the dust, sand, dirt, etc. off the equipment at the end of the say is also handy.

Yet another discussion where people are worried about things that barely cross my mind. Forget the bags and tents and whatever. Just be careful and don’t drop a lens in the sand. Keep it simple and have fun. I don’t like sand beaches for the potential danger but would rather take pictures then mess with stuff.

Since I live in Florida I take a lot of pictures at the beach. I was thinking that a large film changing bag or tent would be a good way to change lenses without wasting time on trips to the car and back.
Has anyone done this and if so, what are your thoughts? Is it practical?

Sand and salt spray get into everything. It seems the wind is always a factor at most ocean beaches. I usually pick a lens and go with it. And unless I'm actively using the camera, I put it in a ziplock bag and out of the sun.
