CNN.com: Best beach foods and snacks
A day at the beach is a summer ritual that will hopefully bring lots of sunshine, sandcastles and crashing waves at your feet.
But the elements that bring beauty to the beach also make it one of the most challenging environments when it comes to eating: think melting yogurt, sand-coated sandwiches and drooping chocolate chip cookies.
