The only time I hunt in direct sunlight is during winter fall or spring. I never go in summer during the heat of day. Lots of reasons for that.

Wish I had 90º to hunt in.

Well you said at the beach, so I say hunt. If you start to get hot, you can always take a break and go into the water to cool off.

Keeping you clothes wet keep you cool. Wear a hat/bandana that will shade your neck and face.

I'm with ticm on that one.Even as I don't beach hunt I still try to keep out of the direct sun during the hot days of mid summer.That mid day sun will rip the hide off ya I tend to do most summer hunts in the shade if I can or if not I'll take little breaks,get in the shade,cool off and drink plenty of water.
I consider water to be just as important to take on a hunt then my detector or digger no matter what the weather is...........................................................

Heat really cuts down on my detecting. Here in Texas now its 81 degrees at 9:30 AM and will be at 97 by three. Wont drop below 91 until after dark. Gotta go early early in the morning or not at all.
