[Paddlewise] Sand Stakes

Tomorrow at 6:00 am I leave for a week of paddling on the North Carolina 
coast.  Most of our camping will be on sand.  It just dawned on me that my 
standard, thin tent stakes won't hold well.  I don't have time to get to a store much 
less order from a website/catalog.

Can any of you really wise paddlers suggest something I can manufacture from 
materials I already have around the house that I can use as sand stakes?

What if I took plastic grocery bags, filled them with sand and buried them.  
Would that work?
