Yes you can but you must be extremely careful of sunburn and dehydration in the little one. Most babies do not like much direct sunlight either so be certain to have a tent or covered playpen or something to keep the baby out of the sun. There are sun screens for infants, ask your pediatrician about it.
We took our daughte to the beach when she was 4 months old. We had sunscreen and a covered playpen for her. She loved it but she also loved being able to get away from the sun and having a nice comfy place to sleep, which she did a lot of. Good Luck and be certain to have that camera handy

Taking a newborn to the beach for 2 days...?

My son is exactly 1 month old on Thursday. I want to take him to the beach on Thursday until Saturday. He's a really good baby and only cries when he's hungry or needs a change of diaper or wet clothes. He's very content while laying by himself awake. I am taking him to the beach on Thursday and am wondering what exactly needs to be done to protect him from the sun? I will be getting an umbrella as well as setting up a make-shift tent for him. If he is well shaded, will suntan lotion for infants be necessary? He is a white baby but has tanner skin (neither dad and I burn, we tan when in the sun) and he has dark hair (So what I'm getting at is he doesn't have extra sun sensitivity as say a very fair skinned baby). Also, I breastfeed, so while I'm on the beach I'll be feeding him as much as he wants to keep hydrated. Is this too young to take to the beach for 2 whole days? I feel ok with this, but I just want some opinions and things that will make it easier on the beach.
Can I take a bottle of cool water and occasionally wet him down with a cool washcloth if it's warm out. It's only supposed to get to 85 degrees on the days we'll be on the beach. I'll also bring lotion to make sure his skin doesn't get dried out either.

#1 You are not suppossed to put sunblock on an infant younger than 6 months old. The chemicals can absorb into the skin and make them sick.
#2 Babies skin is much more sensative than yours or your husbands so using yourselves as a gauge is silly. You've had years to toughen up your skin...your baby is brand new.
#3 The sun is not the only thing you have to worry about,
Bugs, wind, pollution, cold at night, disruptions and noise at night, wild animals.
My son is 9 Months as we JUST took our first trip...and we stayed in a hotel to boot.
In my opinion, this is too young for outdoor adventures especially in the dead of summer.
If you MUST go, KidCo makes an excellent "Travel Bed" it's actually a tiny pop tent that shades baby and keeps the bugs away.
Personally I would stay home...you have your whole lives to camp at the beach...why take such a fragile little guy there now?
To me...it's not worth the risk.
