Hookworm alert? Dogs + cats + beach = worms.. Is there more poop on the beach than normal? lol.. Like Bnewb said, go to the pharmacy get the treatment and take some home just in case. I have two boxes at home because you never know. If you walk barefoot in the shaded damp areas it can happen. It's only happened to me once in 17 years of going to JA but it can happen.
