Beach Photos

I am going to be in Florida in late july and would love to take some nice photos of the beach and sunset at the beach. I am an amature and unsure how to go about getting the best photos. I have a cannon G2 with a wide angle and telephoto lense no filters. Any help would be appreciated.

From another amateur:

Get a polarizer which might be helpful with the sunlight reflection on the water.

A tele might be good to catch some candid shots in the beach without being chased by an angry mob.

Shoot mostly at sunset.

ISO 50, sun from behind you, sunscreen.

Find a nice spot on the beach to sit down with a long drink and and chill out, fix your camera somewhere, press the shutter every so often (using timer) and let the world go by.........100+ shots later you might have a timelapse, that's what I did when we went to Paris http://www.btinternet.​com …imelapse/eiffel​_tower.htm

You have a g2 so not sure if it has an intervalvometer as g3 does otherwise just click away every few seconds, its a nice memory of the place to keep. Set camera on lowest resolution as it takes about 150 shots to get a decent timelapse
