1.  Go in July August or Sept.  If you vacation there any other time, it is overlfowing with snow birds, those old folks from the Big Apple that migrate south every year for the winter.

2.  Hairspray - The humidity is very high there, so you will always have frizzy hair.  The hairspray will help control some of this for you.  There is nothing worse than a bad hair day.

3.  Sunscreen -  No need to buy SPF 50, thats overkill.  A good quality application of waterproof SPF 15 is all you need.

Have fun, enjoy the beach, and make sure you swim where lifeguards are present.

Hope this helps.
