best tents for beach camping image

My wife and I go beach camping a lot during the summer. We have a very nice Coleman tent, but it doesn't handle wind very well. I usually sleep with the side of the tent whacking me in the face most of the night.

A "mountaineering" tent is designed for high mountains and high winds which works OK in freezing temperatures, but may be a bit too stuffy (and damp) in moderate climes. Mountain Hardware makes a few excellent models: http://www.rei.com/product/732212
Stephenson's Warmlite tents with optional stabilizers can survive in winds up to 160 MPH, according to them. http://www.warmlite.com/tents.htm

What should I bring for a camping trip to the beach?

I have prom coming up this weekend and since we couldn't afford an expensive house to stay in we decided to camp instead. What are some things we'll need besides food, a tent, sleeping bags, bathing suits, sunscreen and a change of clothes? Am I missing anything?
This is my first beach camping trip so I want to make sure I have everything :)
Answer
A shovel. This will help level the sand where you are pitching your tent. You might think sand is soft, let me tell you its not, its lumpy. If you are going to have a fire, this will help to because you can make a firepit. If you are having a fire, bring firewood and newspaper to get it going, as you know it can be windy and that can make getting a fire started difficult. If you aren't bringing firewood and plan on gathering, a hatchet and small saw will come in handy.
Bring a hooded sweat shirt, if the wind starts kicking up this will keep the sand out of your ears and stop them aching if it is a cold wind.
Bring a small hand broom. No matter how hard you try, sand will get all over your tent and sleeping bag.
Bring a small first aid kit. If somebody gets cut, steps on a sharp rock, shell or piece of glass, it will be handy.
If you or anybody in your group is doing any drinking, bring some gatorade or water. You or somebody in your group is going to want some of this in the morning, not to mention some aspirin.
