I take Bella to the beach here often. When we're at the inland waters of the ocean, there's no big waves or anything so she'll follow us into the water and swim. I'm getting her a life jacket this year to make it safer, especially when we're on the boat. When we're at the beach of the ocean she only goes into the water to chase birds which she doesn't catch. I wouldn't let her go any deeper than the shore line. Those waves knock me over.

Toys are good. Lifejacket is a good idea. Make sure you bring a long leash, most beaches require it. Towels are good too, Bella gets just covered in sand and even with rinsing at the beach, you never get it all out there.
