Bring the party to the beach with a sampling of fun foods. A beach party is a great way to jazz up a kid’s birthday or family event. Make the food choices simple and fun to eat. Offer guests bite-sized appetizers for starter foods like mini crab cakes, finger sandwiches, shrimp-bacon skewers, and small corndogs, which are all neat choices.
Arrange the Food in a Fun Way
Place snack foods in convenient areas with easy access. Go for a playful theme by filling colorful, plastic sand pails with pretzel-rods or individually wrapped snack bags. Use picnic baskets with lids to hold napkins and paper products. Consider setting up several different coolers or plastic bins (with cooler packs) to shield the food from the sun and sand.
