Here are some ideas to help you plan a terrific and memorable prom:
Definitely set the scene with the music. There are just tons of great "Summer Beach Music". And I'm not talking Beach Boy songs - those grow old, fast. I'm talking Cheryl Crow "Soak Up The Sun", Kid Rock "All Summer Long", Will Smith "Summertime" and Jack Ingram "Barefoot and Crazy", just to name a few.

Change into Something Comfortable: At some point in the night everyone's feet are aching and they just want to get into something comfortable. A "Beach Theme" prom is the perfect excuse to, when you are ready, ditch the glamour and put on cut-offs and t-shirts to finish off the night. Make sure people know ahead of time about this aspect of the prom.
The Sand and the Sun: How about some beach volleyball? Or a big sandbox where people can wiggle their toes in the sand and build sandcastles? Turn to your local home improvement store (Home Depot, Lowes) and talk to them about purchasing sand, liners, and wood for the sandbox frame. Also talk to the school's shop class instructor to see if they can help you with this project. The trick to making this work is to ensure that you have a place to take the sand afterward.
Beach Snacks: Okay - so a bonfire in your school gym to roast up some snacks (hot dogs, smores, etc.) may be a bit infeasible as well as against the fire code. Improvise. Ask if the cafeteria would be so kind as to make hot dogs and baked smores (the web abounds with recipes) to serve as late night snack.
Beach Favors: Send the graduating seniors home with a beach-themed favor. Shell picture frames (to display their prom photos), personalized playing cards with a beach theme design and beach themed votive holders are terrific keepsakes from your special night.
As for your prom? Sit back, kick off your shoes and just enjoy!
