Bertte Outdoor Blanket Large Beach Camping Picnic Blanket Oversized Hiking Park Waterproof Sand Free Handy Compact Mat Durable Foldable Machine Washable Rug, 79" x 57", Blue (Outdoor Blanket-PR-2)

--If this review helped you, please click "helpful"--I was in search of a big beach blanket UNTIL I found this. Every other size I was finding was huge. THEN I saw this one and ordered it. I ended up with two of these because I figured it would be easier to arrange this in different positions rather than have one large beach blanket. Plus, if I'm at the beach alone, I don't exactly need a huge blanket. This one is easy to fold and folds up very small; a big plus is that it has its own little carrying pouch which fits the blanket and the steaks. I took it out and practiced with it. It comes with 4 steaks to keep it in the ground. It is so lightweight and has a convenient little zip pouch for my phone.--For more Amazon reviews, follow @CassandraMercedes on Instagram--

Purchased for a beach trip - mainly looking to keep my belongings out of the sand. However, this turned out to be exceptionally useful. Beyond the obvious mat to keep everything out of the sand, I also used it as a sunshade (connected to the back of a beach chair and staked into the sand at the other end) and a rain poncho. It dries very quickly and easily folds into the included pouch which also stores the included pegs. This is large enough for 1 person, okay for 2 people but I will be purchasing another one or a larger one for next year's trip. Highly recommend this, especially for the price.

Great product overall for the price! It is pretty thin but seems strong still. I love that it can fit into the little carry bag, that it why I chose this type of outdoor blanket. The stakes are a nice addition to keep it down but they do not work that great if the ground is really hard. Work fine in soft ground or sand but just not tough enough to cut through harder ground.

I love it! Just got back from our vacation to Ocean City.. The blanket was wonderful. I put my towel over it and it was perfect. It was easy to carry and believe it or not I was able to easily fold it back up and put it back in the small travel bag after we were done. One day while we were on the beach a huge wave came and covered our entire belongings with water and sand. The blanket was covered with sand as was everything else. We just put it back in the water to rinse it off, hung it over our chair and within a short time it was dry and ready to use again. People on the beach asked where we had gotten it and we were able to tell them simply- “We got it on Amazon”. The plastic sticks kept it down great and we didn’t have to worry about the wind blowing it away or it getting moved. I highly recommend it !!!!

Works best folded, which takes a little more time than stuffing it into a sack. It’s fine for a blanket to throw in the trunk for unexpected things like a stop at the park.

This was perfect for our beach trip! So easy to carry and the perfect size! It was much easier than lugging beach chairs everyday. The sand really does come right off. It’s amazing! Also, we lost the stakes but it was so easy to put sand in the corner pockets and it held it down no problem. Highly recommend!

Can't be a sun shade

Easy to lay out and easy to fold up. Big enough for two people to lay on or 3 or 4 to sit on. Easy to carry around and super convenient. This will go with me everywhere.
