Personally I wouldn't carry a firearm that wasn't actually being carried on my person. Stuff happens at a beach, your kid gets knocked over in the surf and both you and your wife run to help and leave the bag unattended. Or like you said eventually the kid will be able to rummage through said bag.
I have a NAA .22 that I've carried at the beach once in a zippered pocket, but when I got back to the condo the barrel and cylinders were PACKED full of sand. Since them I've opted to not carry when I was going to get in the water, but I may try some sort of waterproof bag in the future. If there's enough slack I'll still be able to cock the hammer and pull the trigger with a design like the NAA has.
