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.
