If your feet are dry and getting cracked, find a piece of pumice on the beach and take it into your bath or shower.  When your feet are wet, add a little soap to the pumice and use it to rub the dry parts of your feet.  Repeat daily until the dryness and cracks have gone then repeat as needed, maybe weekly.  For really badly cracked skin, use a good body cream daily.
