First off, we need chairs! We like this high back beach camping chair, designed for ultimate comfort with an orthopedic-recommended ergonomic design. The 29.2” high back support allows you to rest your head and neck comfortably, while the breathable polyester seat keeps you cool in hot climates. Its low-bottom seat design lets you stretch and relax your legs with ease. Each chair comes equipped with an insulated cooler bag and a detachable tilt umbrella. Store your drinks and food with ice while enjoying the sunshine and sea breeze. The adjustable umbrella ensures you stay shaded as the sun moves. A 9” x 6” built-in storage bag keeps your keys, magazines, and phone within reach, and the attached cup holder frees your hands. The lightweight frame and included carrying case make transporting the chair effortless. Crafted from sturdy and durable materials, this chair holds up to 300 lbs. When folded, it measures only 36.6” × 6.7” × 6.7” and weighs 10 lbs, making it a premium, portable choice for your outdoor adventures.
What goes perfect with those chairs? These bands, which become your towel's new best friend. Relax beachside in comfort, knowing our towel holder is constantly battling the wind and winning. Unlike large towel clips that take up valuable luggage space, these bands are compact and easy to pack, saving you from carrying more than you need. Made from natural latex, these towel holders will never rust, break, or lose strength like traditional towel clips.
Now that we’ve got an umbrella situation figured out with the chairs, let’s get everything off the ground! Whether you're at the beach or enjoying your backyard patio, this versatile hanger keeps everything off the ground. Perfect for hanging valuables like cameras, sunglasses, watches, and keys, it also works great for towels, beach bags, and clothing. Designed to fit any pole from 3/4" to 1-5/8" in diameter, it’s as easy to use as putting on a belt. Compact and convenient, you can toss it in your beach bag, purse, or car for your next trip to the beach!
What else can you hang on the umbrella hooks? This versatile wet bag offers ample space at 26cm x 32cm. It features a convenient handle for easy carrying. This multi-functional bag can be used as a wet bag, makeup bag, and beach bag. It’s waterproof, machine washable, and reusable. With special patterns and themes, it matches your personal style. Weighing less than 50g, this lightweight bag is perfect for the beach or pool.
One more thing for that umbrella (who knew it could do so much!) - let’s show you this amazing portable ceiling fan, designed with a USB cord for easy power connection. With a compact mini size of 16.5 inches, this ceiling fan is perfect for hot summer days and windless conditions, as well as outdoor camping tents. Its lightweight design and compact structure make it easy to carry and install wherever you need it. The fan requires a 5V-output 2A USB power source (charger not included) and features three blades that provide good airflow. It's easy to install and dismantle, making it a convenient and quality choice for your cooling needs.
Sometimes you need a little security at the beach. This small lock box with code is your perfect solution for securing valuables. Made from sturdy ABS material, it’s shockproof, waterproof, and drop-proof, ensuring long-lasting protection. Inside, a high-density EVA lining protects items from damage. The lock box measures 8.5" x 4.3" x 2.6" externally and 7.7" x 3.9" x 1.4" internally, fitting easily in backpacks or luggage.

The carbon steel wire rope allows you to secure the box in various locations, perfect for the beach, pool, or travel. 4 Digit security code makes it great for the beach.
Every beach adventure needs a tote. We enjoy using this beach tote bag, designed with a secure zipper closure and 8-inch drop handles for comfortable carrying by hand or shoulder - and pockets on the outside! With a 45-liter capacity, it fits all the essentials for a family of 3-4. The main compartment holds clothes, sandals, beach towels, and swimsuits, while 4 external and 2 inner pockets store extra items like water bottles, snacks, and toys.

Trying to get to the beach in the wind with all the things in your hands? We love this hat clip to secure your hat while you get settled.

The exquisite appearance makes it more upscale and luxurious, a must-have travel accessory for women. Can be used to decorate a variety of backpacks and handbags as well.

Thanks to its powerful magnetism and spring hook, it can function like a refrigerator magnet, key chain, or backpack clasp.
Possibly the most amazing cooler on the market, The BrüTank is a standout. Featuring a patented 2.8-gallon built-in drink tank for on-the-go refreshment!
