A general rule of thumb for beach-ready footwear is that they’re easy to wash. If they have plenty of crevices where sand can get in, then it’s best to leave them at home. However, if the sand slips right off their sides, or if you can shake it off easily, then you’re on to a winner. Think along the lines of flip-flops, sandals, or, if you’d like more coverage, canvas shoes or even vans. Slip-on shoes are also recommended since they tend to be light and are easy to put on and take off.
