That's one of the main reasons I bought my Nook - so I didn't have to carry a bunch of books when I traveled for work or vacation.
My Nook has been to the beach twice in the 15 months I've had it. I can't imagine spending a week at the beach without it. No bags or cases, just the Oberon cover that it always wears. In terms of dropping it, well, the sand on the beach is a lot softer than the ceramic tile at home, so that's a non-issue. I don't actually take it into the water, so I don't see the necessity for a bag, unless a tsunami hits, and in that case, my Nook will probably be the least of my concerns. In short, I don't see why the beach is any less Nook-safe than my yard or house, where I use it constantly. I guess theft might be a concern, but we tend to avoid beaches where there are blankets and families every three feet; that doesn't really seem like a vacation to me. So, when the nearest family is 50 yards away, it's easy to keep an eye on your stuff.
