10 Best Beach Carts to Keep All of Your Vacay Goodness Together and Travel-Ready
Whether the beach is just a few blocks down the road (lucky you) or a weekend's road trip away, getting away for a quick trip to the beach is one of life's greatest pleasures. But every time you go, more gear just seems to pile up, doesn't it? From beach towels to shade umbrellas to snacks and everything in between, a lot of stuff needs a lot of space. Check out our top picks for beach carts that will carry it all, no sweat. Well... maybe just a little sweat - you're at the beach, after all!

Okay, how charmingly nostalgic is this pick from Radio Flyer? A replica of the classic, little red wagon before it, this red foldable update comes with a shady canopy to protect kiddos from UV rays and a couple of very handy water bottle pockets.
2) MacSports MAC Sports-Double Decker Wagon

Don't be fooled by its roomy size: This heavy-duty wagon folds up to just eight inches thick for easy storage. It features a lower shelf for bulkier items and a contoured handle for a comfortable grip.
3) Mac Sports Outdoor Utility Wagon

Incredibly sturdy and just a touch wider than most other beach cart options is this popular and affordable pick from MacSports. Highly rated for its versatility and durability, this is a tough choice not to love.
4) Vivosun Heavy Duty Collapsible Folding Wagon
VIVOSUN

This collapsible, heavy-duty option can hold up to 176 pounds and has rotating wheels that'll never get stuck. The best part? The fabric material is durable and waterproof, so you'll never have to worry about stains or sharp objects wearing it down.
5) Seina Folding Steel Wagon
Seina
Stylish and simple, this Seina wagon is ideal for not just the beach, but also family picnics, sporting events, and gardening projects. Even better, at under $100, it's a super budget-friendly pick, too.
6) Beau Jardin Folding Push Pull Wagon
BEAU JARDIN

For a more heavy-duty cart, we love this steel wagon from Beau Jardin that makes it easy to transport bulkier or heavier items over uneven terrain—it has wheels that can turn 360 degrees and an adjustable handle.
7) MacSports Collapsible Folding All Terrain Utility Wagon
MacSports

Alright, hang on. Take a look at this awesome little flip-up tray with two handy little cup holders on the side of this foldable beach cart. Imagine toting this down the beach or to your next outdoor concert.
8) Strolee Compact Folding Cart
Strolee
amazon.com
Load everything you need for a day at the beach onto the largo cargo area, hang up to four chairs off the front, throw the umbrella into its side holder, and hit the sand. The all-terrain wheels will keep you from getting bogged down as you find the perfect spot on the beach. There's even a flip-flop hanger so your shoes don't get lost in the sand!
9) Portal Collapsible Folding Utility Wagon Cart
PORTAL
amazon.com
Another larger, heavy-duty option is this utility wagon, and we've got to give a big thumbs up to the ergonomic (and adjustable!) handle as well as the stable design that can stand up to any terrain.
10) Gorilla Carts Quick Dump Wagon
Gorilla Carts
wayfair.com
While technically a garden cart, many people have realized how great these heavy-duty wagons fare on sandy beaches. With 13-inch pneumatic tires, you can load up and roll right over the dunes. And sand? Forget about it -- it just falls right back onto the beach where it belongs. The only drawback to this wagon is that it doesn't fold up, so you'll need some storage space for this one.
Never lose another flip flop.
