Brave New Traveler has an awesome little guide about easy beach yoga for dummies. They have a thirteen step yoga routine for beach goers. Here are a few random yoga steps in their routine.  For the full guide, visit the original yoga article above.

1. Relax your body, especially your shoulders with a deeeep breath.

2. Stretch your arms out to your side (make a cross) and twist your torso, while keeping your head moving with your upper body. Keep your legs still and slightly bent at the knees.

6. Squat, with your back straight. Keep your hands together and put pressure on your knees with your elbows.

12. Stand like a tree. This one looks cool. Stand, and bend one leg and put your foot on the straight leg, but not on the knee. Stand tall, and put your hands together. Try to hold this one as long as possible.

13. Sit Cross legged. Keep your back straight, and try to put your head in the sky.

For an easy to follow along picture guide, there is a flickr photo set here: beach yoga pictures. The yoga pictures go right along with the original guide, so be sure to team them up together when practicing your yoga for the first time.
