Photo's of water

I've been prompted to ask a question by Phil's thread about UV and polorising filters. I go down to the beach quite a lot and there's been some great opportunities to take photo's of the water, but there's usually a damned awful glare from the sun. Is there a filter that I can use to cut back on the sun's glare?

I thought it may be the polorising one, but I thought I'd ask here first.

Re: Photo's of water

One more question about water shots why is it that in all the photo mags they seem to prefer water looking misty ie with a slow shutter speed as to my eye this is false and not how the eye see's the water
