9 Incredibly Comfortable Beach Chairs to Lounge Like a Pro All Day Long
These highly portable designs will take your beach hangs to the next level.
Growing up on the west side of Puerto Rico meant going to the beach every weekend. My parents made sure we packed all the essentials to spend a full day there without interruptions. Everyone was expected to carry their own chair, and even if I complained about having too much to tote, once I got to the beach, it was all worth it. A quality, comfortable chair can truly make all the difference between a good beach day and a great one.
So, it’s time to leave your sandy towel days behind and finally snag a chair that will allow you to relax under the sun for longer (with lots of sunscreen on and an umbrella, of course). Before you make any big decisions, though, we rounded up some of the best options to consider.
