I wrote a summer blog post listing the best superhero covers at the beach. Check it out here: http://blog.comicspriceguide.com/2018/06/28/lifes-a-beach-top-13-superheroes-in-the-sand-covers/

I was surprised at how few there were. I thought it would be a lot more common than it was, but I only came across a couple dozen between my memory and my research.

Check out the article and let me know if there are any great ones that I missed!

And let me know what you think about the one I chose as number 1 - Detective Comics #509:

Nice job on the blog spot. I did like it.

Not too many actually - hard to go to the beach with full body armor and weapons (a la The Punisher or Deahstroke).
Plus - what is there to steal? Sand? crabs? - even Gardner Fox would have a tough time making a story out of that!

There is always this one - not sure it counts as a beach

Classic Beach covers here

Okay - plenty of Archie and romance comics showed the beach - not a lot of superheroes - Don't get Mad... https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/mad/97/pmuqht ... about it!!!

Here is my personal favorite Super-Hero Beach comics cover

Hey - it's the beach -time to relax and go on vacation - not to get all gory and bloody.
Just my humble opinion.
