There are few better ways to spend a warm, sunny day than relaxing on a beach vacation. And whether you're digging into a good summer book, enjoying a snack, or just soaking up some rays, you'll want to be sitting in a comfortable chair.
The best beach chairs are lightweight, easy to carry, and come with ergonomic features. When shopping for a beach chair, the first thing to consider is what specific details matter most: Some beach chairs have integrated sun shades, which are great for solo beachgoers or for anyone who doesn't want to carry a separate beach umbrella; others have features like cupholders, head rests, and mesh backs.
Our Top Picks
Next, think about how you'll want to transport your chair to and from the shoreline. Some collapse into a backpack-like shape and have integrated shoulder straps, leaving your hands free. Others have a single tote bag-style carrying strap, or no strap at all. Which style you choose will largely come down to personal preference. You'll also want to think about weight. Ultra-lightweight chairs are easy to carry, but often aren't as sturdy as heavier options.
So grab your favorite beach read and keep scrolling to find your new go-to beach chair! And once you've found your perfect seat, check out our picks for the best beach bags and beach wagons.
