This blanket is HUGE! The best aspects are the corner folds to hold it in place with sand. I have not used the stakes yet - I assume it’s for use in the grass. The colors are beautiful and the sand slides off without any trace when you’re ready to pack up. There is an art to packing it up and folding it back into it’s attached carrying pouch, but with practice it’ll be a breeze. People seem to misunderstand the sand-free part. It doesn’t keep sand off of it, but sand won’t stick to it, which makes for super easy clean up. And it really does dry super fast. I leave it unfolded when we leave the beach and any wets spots are gone by the time I get home. Great purchase!

This thing is amazing. I'm not sure why it took so long for me to discover this! We go to the beach a few times a week after work and on weekends living in Florida. The folding can be a little tough and awkward but mostly it's pretty easy to fold. The sand just brushes off, even if the sand is wet! The water beads up and it gets a little damp, but dries completely within a couple minutes. It's amazing. The material feels cool too. No more messing with towels and shaking sand, the sand just slides off and doesn't stick. It gets very flappy in the wind though when trying to fold. Almost like a kite. But it's perfect for the beach.

This my friend is a engineering wonder! I got sand on my beach blanket how do I get it off. You don't have to worry about sand on everything went you bring along your sister's kid, Timmy, to the beach. Timmy can run out and do his best impression of a Navy Seal Drill Sgt., build a 3 foot high sand castle., irritate the ...out of the sea gulls and then walk his sandy feet right up to your chair to get money for ice cream without leaving sand on your new beach blanket. Do yourself a favor, and the Department of Child Services, get this blanket and take little Timmy to the beach anytime. It does require a little shake of the blanket for the sand to flow through like magic at a Penn and Teller night out.

This is a great beach blanket to use as it was intended. Super easy care and very light weight! However, I use it to cover the king size quilt on my bed for easy care protection for my dog’s occasional accidents due to seizures. It is also easy to remove dog hair with a lint roller and wash on gentle cycle in washing machine. I dry it on low heat 5-10 minutes and it’s ready to return as a topper on my bed! It’s super lightweight so it doesn’t cause extra warmth in addition to your regular bed coverings. The seller reached out to make sure of my satisfaction with this beach blanket and I’m very pleased indeed!

This blanket kicks butt just as good as the Eno islander if not better just because of how freaking huge this thing is I love how the storage is Built-in my only gripe is that the little anchors that come with it are you sticking to the ground do not hold well in damn beach sand so I would recommend getting better anchors I bought these titanium ones off of Amazon for super cheap but yeah basically I recommend any other anchor because the ones that came with this at honestly kind of garbage but the blanket itself is top notch

So great!! Lightweight, stylish, big, easy to set up and break down. It even comes with stakes and little pockets on the corners to fill with sand. And the sands just rolls right off it. We had a small breeze and the sand was blown off. Not sure why other reviewers are saying it doesn't. Do they expect the sand to levitate or be repelled by the blanket like a magnet?? Maybe the beach isn't your spot. While it came very nicely folded in the bag, I literally shoved it back in the bag and it was ready to pack away. I even got a sweet little note from Jenny about the product! Can't wait to take this blanket to as many beaches as I can!! Thanks Jenny!!

As a van camper with 2 dogs, I was constantly battling dirt coming into the van without a good place to remove shoes/wipe off dogs before getting in. This was perfect its first time out. The stakes keep it in the ground in high wind, and it provides a place for the dogs to lay down and get most of the sand/dirt out. Plus it was a cleaner spot to leave shoes. Plus it is SO easy to fold and roll back into its little carry pack which stays attached to one side so you don't lose it, which is essential to camping and needing things to pack away. I would definitely recommend this! Just note that water will seep through it so if the ground is damp and you walk on it with socks, your feet will get wet as well. But that is a small price to pay for it being so lightweight and affordable!

Super light weight Easy to set up. I closed stakes and sand pockets kept it in place Drys easy when high tide decided to Drench our set up Sand sweeps off easily Folds into it self quickly, into a small attached pouch Color is vibrant Material is soft to the touch Keep in mind it’s thin so I wouldn’t use this by it self. It worked great with beach towels on top.

I absolutely love this blanket. It's so light and packable for all sorts of family outings but still unfolds to a pretty huge size. We've used it many times now at the pool, beach, and picnics and it's been great to have. The included stakes are really useful for windy days. When we're ready to go the dirt and sand shake right off and it tucks into the attached bag easily. I baby it because I love it and want it to last FOREVER but it's really incredibly durable. I've washed it and hung it dry a few times and it's not shown any sign of wear. I'm not sure why I put off buying it as long as I did, and I plan on buying a few as gifts too.

Had to wait on the weather to review this at the BEACH on the Sand. Works great, feels cool to lay on. I put 2 beach chairs on top, wiggle it around to grab the sand,sit and relax.The other thing I did was make a small cut in fabric so umbrella goes thru,if ya got kids,well,might be a risk. Either way ,nice and big. I also got all the other stuff on the blanket,walked around. then put the stakes in,All that CA. beach time came in handy. Great Buy. Oh I did not get any compensation for this review. J.
