Take four pieces of one-foot-square half-inch plywood.  Drill a hole through the middles, put pieces of 18-inch-long rope through the holes and tie a knot in one end.

At the beach bury the boards about a foot deep.  Tie someone to the pieces of rope so they are spread eagled.

OHHH, you meant food????

Cheeses keep fine in a cooler with a minimum of ice. Buy a selection of presliced cold cuts that are vacuum sealed. Deli macaroni and potatoe salads etc, unopened till you are ready to eat.  Sausage meats. Pudding!!!!
Dried fuit mix.
You can buy larger sections of cured meats, sausage etc that are sealed, and slice them there.

Try to stick with vacuum sealed. The cooling level is not as vital.

I've taken premixed cocktails, wine and other spirits in gatoraid bottles, very handy screw on lids.

Plastic cups and violla... your own gatoraid blend hit's the spot.

Nowadays I'm a good boy and no longer consume alcohol so my gatoraid is real, lol

Take some plastic bottles or juice in their containers and freeze them - use for cooling until eating time.

That should keep any cold dish - or a hot fresh until eating/heating time....

Bread or crackers is good accessory, won't spoil with a little heat.

Fish and shell-fish is probably the best for the location, but wont be good is the cooling is not satisfactory.

What time of day? How many persons? Should it be heated?

regards
Peter

Status: offline 		Coincidentally, the last menu I did for On The Bead was a picnic ~

Roast Beef and Boursin Baguette
Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs
Greek Style Orzo Salad
Almond Berry Parfait

The recipes are here: 
http://www.angelfire.com/zine2/onthebead/SpringPicnic.html

The recipes are scaled for 2 people, but you can easily up the quantities.  Two other good reference sites for menus and recipes are www.epicurious.com  (Gourmet magazine - will have lots of good suggestions) and www.foodtv.com  (Food Network's homepage) if you are looking for something a bit different.  Do a search on picnic menus.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

If you can cook on the beach...it's hard to beat burgers and dogs.

I'd say go to foodtv.com, Semi-Homemade just did a few shows about actually cooking on the beach and might have some great ideas for you there.  (Yes, I'm a Food Network addict)

Otherwise, yeah, just go buy the KFC stuff and not worry about it.  And smore fixins too.

Status: offline 		Ahh, the mayo myth persists.

Modern mayonnaise isn't an issue when it comes to picnics - commercially made mayo does not contain raw egg, which was the issue previously when it came to potato salad sitting out. 

Now, the reality is that ANY food is going to break down if it's left in less than ideal conditions, and all bacteria loves warm and humid weather.   Whether it's a mayo based salad or a vinaigrette, it's not going to taste too good after sitting in the heat and humidity for a couple hours.   If you're doing a buffet to nosh on over a period of time, put out small quantities at a time, keep extras on ice, and refresh the buffet every so often.

If it's a bunch of people coming and you don't have enough coolers, ask people to bring coolers filled with ice to help keep food and bev at appropriate temperatures.
