— Before you leave, drag out the water hose so you’ll have it handy when you return. You can hose down everyone before they go into the house. Don’t use the extreme jet setting on dad, though. Rinse everything else off and hopefully all the sand will stay in the yard.
— Make everyone shake out their shoes before they come inside, or better yet, just have them leave their shoes outside.
— Take a brush with you to the beach. You can brush sand off your body after you leave the beach, which can be more effective than simply shaking it off.
— Invest in a small vacuum for removing sand that will fall in the car.
