Care of cameras near the sea

I'm heading for a weekend shooting shorebirds, and was wondering what special care should be taken with the equipment.
Any advise welcome!

Nothing special Patricio Just take a brush with you to brush sand of the camera. Always try to keep your hands free of sand, I have a towel handing form my tripod for wiping hands. Any sand that works its way in while changes lenses will be a problem.

I do a lot of photographing on the beach and the equipment does take a beating.

I would also recommend at the end of each day you dampen a 100% cotton towel (an old T-shirt works great) and dampen it with fresh water and wipe down all your equipment this removes any salt residue that might be on it.

Thank you very much! Hope to post some good pictures next week! :)
