Best Foods To Take To The Beach
Wraps
Opt for wraps over regular sandwiches when packing lunch for a day at the beach. For one, it's just fun to coil things up in a tortilla or collard leaf. But more importantly, when the fillings are tucked away on the inside, they're better protected — plus wraps are easy to eat with one hand. Recipe.
Kabobs
Whether you go for fruit, veggies, or meat, kabobs make great beach fare. This is a hands-off (read, sand-free!) meal that's utensil-free and easy to eat, with even easier cleanup. Get recipe.

Couscous or Pasta Salad
Either tend to hold up well in the heat. Also, even if a few grains of sand make their way in, they'll easily get lost in a jumble of couscous; you might not even notice. Recipe for homemade.
Cookies
Don't forget dessert! Cookies are a simple finger food to curb your post-lunch sweet tooth. It's probably best to skip anything chocolate to avoid a melty mess. Here's a good choice.
Chocolate-Covered Frozen Bananas
If you have to have chocolate then get a good cooler and put these inside. Recipe.
