Best beach towel/blanket
Oversized yet easily compactable for travel, this beach towel easily fits seven people and comes with six metal stakes in a pouch to keep it from flying away in high winds. It's sand-proof and water-resistant, so most moisture beads up and rolls away while any remaining water dries quickly, and it's triple-stitched for maximum strength and durability so you can carry it anywhere.
Best portable fan
This fan is small and easy to transport, but it also has multiple functions that make it super useful for beach days. Up to 19 hours of cooling time help you stave off the afternoon heat, while a palm-sized backup charger ensures you don't run out of power. There's also a handy flashlight function, and it can transform into a desk fan so it's useful on the beach, on the go and at home.
Best beach chairs
The best-selling beach chair from Tommy Bahama is also the Consumer Reports top pick thanks to attributes like its portability and functionality that allows for it to be used in five different positions. It has backpack straps for easy carrying, an insulated cooler pouch, built-in storage and pockets on the arms to hold beverages or your cell phone.
Best cooler
This cooler has it all: It's leak-proof, puncture-resistant, plus it floats and locks in the cold for up to two days! With a 30-can capacity and welded construction, it remains lightweight while keeping water out so your drinks and snacks can go anywhere with you safely.
Best sunscreens
The most important part of any day outdoors is sunscreen, and Sum Bum has options in every form for the whole family so you can cater to your specific needs and level of protection, all for under $20.
