Don’t let summer sneak up on you without a big ol’ beach blanket to protect your bum from hot grains of sand (ouch). I’m just saying, those outdoor throws are true summer heroes. Not only do they faithfully serve humanity by protecting booties from the hot sand (salute!), but many are also waterproof, so you don’t have to worry about waves inching up the shore (or drink spills). How could you not love ’em?
Because I hate buying things that don’t serve more than one purpose, my fave quality of our loyal beach blankies is that you can bring them to the park for a picnic, use them while camping, or just chillin’ in your backyard. Told you: These superheroes deserve more recognition. So today, we honor the best beach blankets out here doing their part to make the world a better place. Check out 20 of our favorites, below. (And if you’re in the market for more beach accessories, we got ’em, too.)
