there is always wind, its the beach! we tested the door yesterday and it slams shut even if the slider is shut.

a door stop is a good idea! maybe just something that is like a door stop, just something that could keep it open, maybe... i dont know, just something really heavy, a chair maybe! good luck! : )

easy: close the window when the winds pick up, so the door isn't being slammed shut by the wind that goes through to the window.
I don't think there's a door stopper good enough to keep the heavy door from slamming shut

try a door closer like the ones on screen and storm doors and there's also closing spring hinges
