My wife and I always enjoy the beach musicians. I tip them all a little cash. I also take about 15 guitar picks, and four sets of guitar strings. The guys I really like get a little cash, and a new set of strings. They are always very appreciative. I give out guitar picks untill I run out. A great place to find quality, reasonable strings is online at Musicians Friend. If you don't know what to purchase, ask a friend that plays guitar for help (there's a ton of choices.)
