First, I have to say only five things? It seems like when you have a baby you go from being able to walk out the door at a moments notice to needing an hour to collect everything you need. Still, there are definitely five things I need to take a safe and happy baby to the beach.
My top five beach essentials for baby are:
1. Sunscreen - to be applied before we leave, and reapplied often, especially if baby gets in the water.
2. Diapers - because a wet baby is an unhappy baby.
3. Baby powder - the baby powder really helps release any sand that otherwise might stick in sensitive areas. I use it every time I have to change the baby at the beach.
4. Toys - to keep everyone occupied and happy - I love beach balls because they collapse and take up no space and are not heavy.
5. Snacks! For baby and me - I love to cut up fresh fruit, pack water and juice. Trying to make food at the beach unfortunately leads to sand in everything, so bringing things that are ready to eat cuts down on sand in our food.

Our top five for the beach:
sunscreen - spf 50+ waterproof
Diapers - swimmers and regular
Wipes - wet ones are a life saver!
snacks - puffs and fruit
water/juice - we freeze them and pop in the cooler. By the time we're ready for a drink, they are half thawed and a nice cold refreshing treat.
