Nice life/work balance example that you're providing. A splash or two on the beach shouldn't be a problem, but a clean, damp (tap water) wipe down is what I do to keep my gear clean. I avoid changing lenses on the beach. I have friends that are resort photogs and they only take their old cameras on the beach.

If you don't have special schedule in Florida, next time go to Gulf Coast: Indian Rock, Clearwaters, Treasure Island, etc . Your family could appreciate more beaches over there, and that is without mentioning the photograph point of view.

Great video! Living in Hawaii, unless it's a client, (I hate to admit) I'm almost always grabbing my phone to take pics or videos of my kids at the beach. It's just so convenient and I can quickly capture moments of the kids. My phone actually takes great pictures in midday light and I can even submerge it in water without being afraid of damaging it. Also, it's less stress for me not having to worry about someone stealing my camera while I'm in the water or away from my stuff.
