Set your squad up in style from sunrise to sunset with the latest toys, games, and entertainment to wash up on shore. After all, the summer is only three months long. And you should be fully committed to the sun, surf, and sand. But don't forget the sunscreen!
It all starts with an excellent beach chair. Years of personal research have revealed that Tommy Bahama makes some of the most comfortable recliners on the coastline. Trust us, you'll want to plop down in one of these full size, hands-free, easy to carry, backpack chairs. Sun yourself in five different positions and a have a comfy pillow to support the noggin. Oh and most importantly, there’s an insulated cooler pouch for beverages and a cell phone holder too.
When it comes to the best beach gear, size matters. You'll rule the sunny skies with this giant dragon kite. Boasting a 10' wide wingspan, the mother of all kites is made of durable ripstop nylon supported on a fiberglass frame. Hang on tight to the main control line to soar to new heights with this brightly colored high flyer that can reach up to 500ft in the air.
Is it even a cooler if it’s not a Yeti? Day-trippers will love this smaller soft bag that comes with all the cooling technology Yeti is famous for. It comes complete with a waterproof, Dryhide Shell, rubber foam Coldcell Insulation, and a sturdy, leakproof Hydrolok zipper. It’s portable and packable and will keep your drinks and hoagies cold. Travel light!
A good day on the water will get even better with the help of some great tunes. You won’t have to worry about this waterproof wireless speaker getting ruined at the beach. It’s practically indestructible and even floats! Charge it up for six hours of unlimited summer jams.
The best beach gear includes the right games. Nothing against Spikeball, KanJam and running bases, but it’s friggin hot at the beach! Why run around getting sweaty when you can whip the family at jumbo-sized Jenga? Don't pull a hammy. Find a solid support base preferably under a shady umbrella and start building with these 54 precision-crafted blocks.
Hailing from all over the country these bourbons defy the odds with their reasonable price tag and can turn a nightcap into a night you’ll (hopefully) never forget. Here are the seven best bottles of bourbon under $100.
