78" × 81" XXL Beach Blanket, Waterproof & Sandproof Picnic Mat with 4 Sand Pockets & 4 Stakes, Windproof Outdoor Camping Beach Mat, Lightweight, Fits 4 People, Blue

I felt a tiny bit silly taking this on a trip when we tried so hard to pack light, but once I used it at the beach I was sold. Previous trip I got lots of bites from something (fleas?) in the sand while I sat and read, so this let us all stretch out and still not have feet in the sand and no sand in books, etc. It was super easy to put down with the pegs, although if there is a good breeze put something on it or use two people or it might blow away while you're trying to get a couple pegs in, just because it's so light it catches the wind. (It's made of parachute material I think). It was easy to shake off later and stuff it all back into the corner pocket. Totally worth the space it took up in the suitcase!

So far, this is our favorite beach blanket of all time. We've only had it about two weeks, but have taken it to the beach for all day use (9-5pm) in front of our beach tent 5 or 6 times and it's fantastic! It's easy to brush sand off, stays put well, repels water and drys very quickly if we've sat on it soaking wet and is the easiest park of set up and breakdown in the day as well as being super light weight! I do anchor the front corners under our beach tent, which helps in high winds, but the stakes and sand pockets work really well. Now to see if the color and stiching stand up to our heavy beach use over time! (We are10 min from the beach and swim and participate in water sports regularly.) Will update!

I love it. It’s light weight like parachute material. It folds right back into the pouch. Came with spikes to hold it down. Amazing. Fits in my storage in the back of my pathfinder

This is basically like a sheet of tent material, which is great for my needs while on the beach and camping. I love that it has the attached bag to pack into itself, and how compact it is. I haven't used it in rainy circumstances, but it stays cool, keeps my stuff out of the sand and is soft to lay on.

I love the large size and that it comes with stakes. We use it exclusively at the beach so they have only been pushed into sand and stays put well. However, in pulling it out it ripped the seam near the pocket which was very disappointing. All things considered i would recommend!

This worked perfect for our trip to the beach! We were able to easily lay it out, pile sand on the corners to hold it down and use it all day. Then shake the sand off and roll it up. I had no problems getting it back in the bag by myself even on the windy beach. We washed it and it seemed to hold up fine. Can definitely see us using this more in the future.

Seriously, best Amazon lightning deal ever purchased. I love how it folds into it's own attached pocket, is lightweight and water proof. I bought it late in the summer so I haven't tested the sand durability but I have used it to wrap around myself during cold baseball games in the fall and had so many comments on how folks loved it! Looking forward to trying it next summer.

Worked out very well for a large group at the beach for my daughter's birthday. Stakes were nice to keep it secured.
