The sun’s up early, the days are long, and just like that, we’re here. Summer. Officially. The solstice has arrived, and whether you're packing up the car for your first beach trip or already on your third, there’s something about this time of year that hits different. It's a season made for slowing down, for sandy toes and salty air, for turning off your phone and turning your face to the sun (just not for too long).
At Handy Beach Goods, we built our gear for days exactly like this. Not the Pinterest-perfect ones, but the real ones. The sweaty ones. The windy ones. The ones where you forget the snacks, the cooler leaks, and the baby eats a handful of sand. We’ve been there. That’s actually how this whole thing started.
Because after enough beach days with gear that wobbled, flew, or took 20 minutes to set up, we knew there had to be a better way. So we designed it. A beach umbrella that installs in 10 seconds, stays put in high winds, and shields you from the brutal sun with UPF 55 protection and a reflective silver canopy.
A beach blanket that stays put thanks to built-in sand anchor pockets at each corner, and includes a smart center slot to easily fit your umbrella. It doubles as a soft, specious basecamp for all the beach chaos to unfold.
If you’ve been searching for the best beach umbrella for wind or a beach blanket that doesn’t blow away, we’ve got you. We’re not trying to sell you a dream. We’re just trying to make your real beach day easier. Safer. Better. Less digging, less sweating, more actual relaxing.
So here’s to the season of sunscreen and swim diapers, watermelon and waves. Here’s to the good kind of tired at the end of the day. Here’s to summer.
We’ll see you at the beach.
