try tom lee (robson, surrey, or richmond) and long mcquad on main.

Just bring a portable stereo. You don't need to share your music with everyone on the beach. Others may not appreciate your awesome taste in the latest dub-stepping, boy bands.

How loud do you want to go. Do you want club levels or just some back ground music? I have seen Costco sell the Ion Block Rocker. The same as what you have pictured.

Just back ground music. Me my friends have some portable docks, but no one can ever hear the music when we r playing. I tried searching on Costco online, but couldnt find it..... i guess u can only get it in-store?

Fender makes a line of portable rigs that is the shizznitz: speakers clamp to the sides and cables stow inside for carrying:

HOWEVER, if it's just for playing tunes at the beach, all these sorts of things are overkill - they tend to have mic inputs, multiple line inputs, etc... none of which you need for the beach (unless you're doing karaoke). Something with a single line/iPod input is all you should need... maybe consider something like this:

Some of them will go seriously loud and they'll run forever on a rechargeable lithium battery (some will also charge the battery when plugged in).

It's battery powered.
