Definitely take it, just take some simple precautions.
I took my K-x to the beach once and got some of the best photos of my whole holiday. I just kept it in a plastic bag when not using it, didn’t change lenses and had a prime on it as a zoom presents more opportunities for sand/salt to get in. Shooting at the beach meant shutter speeds of 1/1000+, it was fantastic, some of the sharpest shots I’ve ever taken. Next time I do it I’ll get a polarizing filter though.
