Best Beach Carts to Buy (Updated 2023)

Summer might be coming to an end, but the weather is so beautiful! Many are planning on a beach glamping trip to catch the tail of the summer. Others are thinking about going into the woods or the mountains. And one thing we’re all looking into are the best beach carts to buy right now.

Is This a Good Buy?

Just because they’re called beach carts, doesn’t mean they are restricted to waterside activities. Also known as beach wagons, these carts have proven themselves to be quite handy on various occasions.

For example, a high-quality wagon can be used for

• Transporting your gear
• Providing a fun nap spot for the little ones
• Help create a comfortable site, such as holding up umbrellas

Besides the beaches, they are also suitable for sports events, picnics and BBQ parties, and RV glamping in general. Did you know some even use their beach wagons as shopping carts?

Things to Consider Before Buying a Beach Cart

However, there are many products out there and the quality can vary significantly. How do you know if you’re buying the right item?

For starters, ask yourself these questions:

• What do I want to transport with my wagon?
• Am I looking for a full-sized one, or would a foldable cart make more sense?
• Will my cart mainly be going over sand, rocky grounds, grass, or soft soil?
• What type of extensions and accessories would I need?
• Am I buying this for regular usage or rare occasions only?

These questions will help you determine the type of beach wagon, additional equipment, as well as your spending budget.
