If water isn't essential but sun is, a fun option could be to stop in the dunes themselves for the day. Half way from the hotel to the beach you'll arrive at the edge off the bushes. Instead of going straight (forgive the expression) go to the right and find a spot somewhere amidst the bushes to set up camp for the day as hundreds of people do each day. Be sure to take a lot of liquids for the day and find some shade for breaks from the heat. In the winter expect the temperature in the dunes to be around 25C and in the summer around 35C and above. (Check out the weather guide)
You'll find plenty of popular sunbathing areas in the dunes with plenty of people around but keep walking and you'll find some more deserted areas and fewer people. Whilst the whole area is pretty cruisy anyone walking around the quieter parts won't be looking for shade, they'll be looking for fun!
Down on the beach there's plenty of sun beds and umbrellas (2.50 euros each for the day) and if you don't fancy lugging litres of water down there with you, there's the beach bar serving drinks, snacks and music all afternoon. Everyone tends to head back around 5pm when the guys come round to collect up the sun beds and plenty of guys detour through the bushes ;)
