Surfcasters can do a lot of walking during a day at the beach. You can save your legs by carrying your regularly used surfcasting gear around your waist. You are more likely to change to a fresh bait if you don't have to walk back up the beach to get it. It also makes it much easier if you fish two or three rods!
I carry a knife for cutting bait, split-ring pliers, multi-tool, rod pouch, bait bucket, and an old rag to wipe my hands. This setup is very useful when fishing in the dark because you don't have to look for things. It also lowers the chance of your forgetting something when you head home.
