I'm having a Beach Party/BBQ for my 13th Birthday. It will be in August. I'm not having it at a real beach but at my home. I live in Northern Virginia. I need decoration ideas, food ideas, and activity ideas. Please answer the following questions:
1. Can I rent a fire pit?
2. Where do I rent it?
3. If not, where can I buy a cheap fire pit (but still useable later)?
Thanks so, questions above, decorations, food, and games. Thanks!

Have a Coconut Hunt (Treasure Hunt to find the hidden coconuts)
Hit a beach themed pinata
Have fun!

Birthday Party on the Beach? Games / Activities?
Q. We live on the beach and are having my daughter's first birthday party soon. (she is already 1, but we were moving when she turned 1) What could we do to keep kids out of the water without parents or adults? I mean like games. We have kid horseshoes, adult horseshoes, sand toys, beach towels (to sit on), beach chairs, a baby gate cage thing (for small ones) , a craft table, food,and water guns (for older children.) Is there anything else we could do for in the sand or on the porch?

Also, does our menu sound good?
Ribs, Burgers, Hot Dogs, Corn (grilled by hubby)
Cousins Party Sub
Chips/Pretzels
Fruit Salad and Slices
Veggie and Dip Tray
Crackers/Cheese/Sausage
Cake
Pie
Pasta Salad
Cookies
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Pink Lemonade
Lemonade
Water
Soda
100% Juice Boxes
(some of the food listed above is being brought by close family members, some by us)
We also have floaties, water toys, and boogie boards for the ocean.
There will be big umbrellas set up in front of our house (on the beach) for people to sit under.
Are we missing anything? Any other ideas to keep little guys out of water unless taken in?
lol2t1 - Our house has an outdoor shower (crazy I know, but we inherited the house. We are NOT crazy rich.) The kids can shower there after playing the the sand and ocean.

Answer
Your menu sounds great! Instead of subs, maybe you can offer finger sandwiches and pigs in a blanket as they are easier for little hands.
I would also include a treasure hunt (make the buried objects obvious if you have little people). Avoid sandcastle building contests unless you want to use the beach showers (some have outdoor showers) for water or unless you are supplying a tub of water they can use to pack the sand.
Other ideas include:
-checkers or board games on the porch
-beach volleyball with an inflatable beach ball
-relay races on the beach
-carrying an egg on a spoon relay race
-wheelbarrow relay race (one kid holds the other's legs) and at the midpoint of the race is a whip cream pie with a reeces peanut butter cup in the middle. They have to bring the peanut butter cup back to the finish line in their teeth.
-water balloon toss
-relay race where kids have to put on a piece of clothing and run to the other end where their team is waiting, tag someone, take off the clothes and the other teammember puts it on, etc. until you run out of teammembers.
Have fun!
