Hello,
It seems from the history that you are having redness of eyes, burning sensation of the eyes, discharge from the eyes... All these indicate infection of the conjunctiva called as conjunctivitis. It may be because of exposure to the sea water or to sand of the beach.
The treatment is by antibiotic eye drops. I advice you to consult eye doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
