Here at the Strategist, we like to think of ourselves as crazy (in the good way) about the stuff we buy (like pillows), but as much as we’d like to, we can’t try everything. Which is why we have People’s Choice, in which we find the best-reviewed (that’s four-to-five-star reviews and lots of ‘em) products and single out the most convincing. While we’ve written before about the best round beach towels and beach tents, here we’ve rounded up the best beach chairs on Amazon, according to the people (note that reviews have been edited for length and clarity).
Best beach chair with towel bar
Tommy Bahama Backpack Cooler Chair With Storage Pouch and Towel Bar
“After a week on the beach, we still love these chairs! Not only do they look cool, but they were also really comfortable. The pillow is adjustable with Velcro tabs, so you can place it at the best position. The side pockets were great to put our cell phones in. You can put a few drinks and a freezer thing in the cooler part, and it works well for keeping your drinks cold. We used the towel bar for hanging not only towels, but also for keeping additional clothing off the sand. Then at the end of the day, you can carry it back to the beach house by wearing it like a backpack, which allows you to have your hands free to hold other stuff.”
Best beach chair with canopy
Quik Shade Adjustable Canopy Folding Camp Chair
“I saw people at the beach using this, and had to get it. Much easier than an umbrella when it gets windy, and I don’t have to carry my chair, and umbrella and poles like I used to do. I’ve used it once and am satisfied. I did read other reviews before buying. Perhaps the quality has improved. I checked all nuts and bolts when I received it, and everything is okay. The fabric is durable and not at all uncomfortable. I like the fact that it’s a chair, umbrella, drink holder and accessory bag all in one. It came with a decent carry bag, is pretty light weight, and easy to unfold. No problems so far, and the price is good. I am near the beach and go quite often, so it will get plenty of use.”
Best beach chair with pockets
Picnic Time Portable Folding Sports Chair
“We bought two of these about ten years ago for several reasons, and the chairs have proven true to all of them. (1) Sturdy. I’m a 300-pounder, and these have held up great. I have no fear of collapse. (2) Comfortable. I love the height, padded seat and arms, and how they’re easy to get out of. (3) Lightweight. We use them each year for a July 4 concert, and there’s close to a mile walk to and from the parking lot. These are a breeze to carry. (4) Durable. There’s little wear and no stretching. Everything still works, even the plastic strap clips that others have replaced. (5) Add-ons. Tray table and pockets are well-designed and useful. We use them on the patio for extra seating, and the grandkids think they’re a treat, so grab them first. They arrange them side by side to eat, play games, etc. (6) Value. Sure, these cost more than other chairs, but once you try them, you’ll never want or need to buy anything else. Cost per year is less than cheap chairs.”
Best beach mat
Picnic Time Beachcomber Beach Mat
“The size is fantastic. I love the material. I was going to give it as a gift, but I love it so much that I decided to keep it for myself! We just bought a home a few blocks from the beach, and this will be perfect to carry with its strap and light weight.”
Best beach chair for two
Kelty Low Loveseat Chair
“We are one month into a long van-and-camping trip, and my husband and I have talked a lot about how great this chair is. That may sound funny, but when I asked him the other day by what percentage he thought this chair had increased his enjoyment around the campsite, he said, ‘50 percent’ — it’s that good. First of all, it’s really sturdily built and feels like it will last a long time. However, most importantly, it is so comfortable. I have never in my life found a camp chair that was comfortable; I always felt stuck in them, so that it was hard to get out and sitting in them just never felt good. This chair makes lounging around the campsite an actual pleasure. We also have noticed that leaning back just that little bit more (not dramatically, just a little) raises your gaze, so you’re looking less at the dirt in front of you and are more likely to look up to notice the trees, birds, sky, etc. Basically, it slightly increases your view of the stuff that’s most pleasant to look at.”
