I do that too ... mine are Lake mtn bike shoes, and I've done a lot of walking in them ... but I also bring sandals of some sort to wear on the beach, or to the showers, or just to give my feet a break from cycling shoes.
(However, I'm on the hunt for a really nice, light, pair of sandals which I can get wet, and which are also comfortable for walking ... the ones I've got are a bit heavy, and are also on their last legs)
