These beach chairs are amazing. They make our beach trips so simple. Gone are the days of heavy coolers and overflowing bags. We love them and would recommend them to anyone looking to simplify their beach experience.
First of all, the Tommy Bahama chairs are lightweight, with straps to wear them as a backpack, making them extremely easy to carry. Even though they are lightweight, they still provide ample support when sitting in them and offer several options for your back between straight up and all the way flat down (with an extra bar to support when all the way down). There is also a small pillow attached that really levels up the sun bathing experience.

Pockets.
These chairs have the perfect amount of pockets and they are the perfect sizes. There are two pockets on the back of the chair. One is quite large. It fits a full size beach towel, a book, and sunscreen, with ease. You could also put in your wallet and keys. The next pocket on the back is about half the size, but it is insulated, making it the perfect spot for a water bottle and some snacks (or other beverages 😏). Lastly, there are two pockets on the right arm of the chair. One is a cup holder for your drink that you’re enjoying. It’s a great material made so the sweat of the beverage doesn’t soak in. The other has a Velcro flap over top, perfect for your phone. We have the iPhone 12pro max (so some of the biggest phones on the market) and they fit with extra room for my sunscreen too. They are great pockets for the few things you want to keep in arms reach. When packing up, make sure you empty these pockets before carrying the chair as items may fall out.
Umbrella.
We also got the umbrella which has been a lifesaver for long beach days. It provides shade when we’ve had enough sun (which doesn’t take long for us as one is dark and doesn’t need to tan, and one is fair and doesn’t need much to tan!). It enables us to enjoy the beach for hours on end without worrying about burning or sun poisoning.
Get your chairs now!
These chairs and umbrellas come to Costco in the spring and sell out quickly. We managed to grab them on sale, but that is always a gamble to wait for. If you do not have a Costco membership (we suggest you get one! haha), you can get the chair directly from the Tommy Bahama site or Amazon, but they are much more expensive than the Costco prices.
One trick - to close the chair, you have to push on the back bar. Otherwise it is locked open. This took us a minute to figure out! I think there are directions on the tags.
We hope these chairs and umbrella help you enjoy beaches for longer and more often! Let us know your must have beach equipment in the comments below.
