Couple of things I learned from my coast of Georgia trip last spring-- 1. A tarp to spread out on the ground helps to control the sand (sand management). We would spread out a tarp and unload the gear from our kayaks on to it at days end. Great way to organize for camp. We would also put our gear on a tarp in the morning to sort and load into our boats. Used the same tarp to cook on too. Really worked well to keep the sand where it belongs and not in our food. 2. A large mesh bag to load all those little dry sacks into was invaluable, especially when arriving at low tide and having quite a haul beyond high tide mark. 3. Sand tent camping--all the previous suggestions are good. I've also used aluminium pie pans and buried them in snow--same with sand. Drilled two holes in center of pan, threaded a piece of 4 mm (3 mm will work too) cord through--long enough so it is above ground--then tied my guy line to it. In snow and sand, I always go over kill on guying out my tent. That is, if there is a guy line attachment, I use it. Have Fun!
