The Shovel

"Tucked under the toys is a good size cooler. Perfect for snacks and drinks. We picked up dinner from nearby Beach Hut deli and brought extra snacks and drinks in the cooler. It made feeding the five of us a breeze."

"Say goodbye to broken shovels and take sandcastles to the next level. The bright shovels are molded from one piece of industrial- strength plastic, removing breakable pressure points and they never get lost in the sand. The Beachmate buckets are also strong, made from extra-think plastic that prevents bending and cracking with unbreakable nylon straps make for gentle handles. This system is for sure the last sand castle kit you will ever need!"

"Our beachmate basically meets all requirements: lightweight, easy to carry, has a cooler packed in it, fits and separates everything, and has shovels and buckets to play with. BOOM-- if that's not a major multi-tasker, then I don't know what is!"

"One thing that stood out to me was the quality of the design. Everything feels very well-made and durable, so it will last us for summers of wear and tear."

"Seriously, how many sets of beach toys have you bought? Too many. This one will be the last one. And when you’re not using the buckets as buckets, flip them over as tabletops for your drinks and sandwiches. Beachmate made the evening that much simpler. And my life has a whole lot of chaos, so when things are simple, I really, really like it."

"Our Beachmate bag is my best friend because it's designed to be a designated beach bag, and they thought of literally everything. Not only does it include buckets and shovels, but it also easily stores them, it has a cooler for food (with a zipper to keep the sand out!), it has pockets that hold our sunscreen, change of clothes, diapers and wipes, baby powder, etc, and it even has an outside zipper pocket that I use to store my keys and phone. Each of the pieces are sturdy and well designed -- the shovels are super well made, and the buckets have durable straps instead of flimsy plastic handles. I mean, that alone is worth getting one of these bags."

"Between snacks, sunscreen, drinks, swimmy diapers, towels, and chairs, the last thing we need when we hit the beach (or lake) is more things to carry. With Beachmate, virtually everything fits nicely INSIDE the tote! Hallelujah, amen."

"If you're a beach family, the all in one system from @mybeachmate is an ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE!"

"When we connected with Beachmate I was SO excited because it's literally genius.

It keeps all of our beach essentials organized in one bag... food, drinks, toys, towels, sunscreen, books, wallets and more - no more juggling several bags over your shoulder or dragging awkward wheels through the sand. It's seriously genius!"

"This definitely is not only a beach day product though. I can see us taking this to the pool or the park as well. It’s perfect for packing snacks, picnics, and room for storing all your necessities, like diapers, keys, wallets, and clothing. There are multiple pockets that make it the only bag you’ll need to take with you!"

"Simon is a big skeptic and calls every other thing he sees, "gimmicky" and I didn't say much about the Beachmate but set it out while I was getting everyone swimsuited up and he was packing dinner with the (enormous!) help of Phoebe he kept saying how roomy and awesome the cooler was. And then he went on to sing the praises of being able to attach it to the chair he was already going to be carrying on his back. And the umbrella attachment feature ... and on and on."

"It (the Beachmate) was lightweight, durable and user friendly. I say user friendly because this is more than just your averagebeach bag, it’s complex. However, the complexity serves a purpose with its ergonomic design. It’s easy to use and when your hot, tired and ready to get the heck out of dodge it easily cleans up and packs away."

"The boys were obsessed with the shovels. Like CRYING to take them to dinner.... the boys had no problem digging up the dirt with the heavy duty shovels. In fact, there were only about two other people on the beach and one of them asked where they can get some of the shovels for their kids."

"We are all about finding products that make our lives as busy moms on the go – easier! So when we came across BEACHMATE we about had a heart attack. As women who have schlepped a million belongings and our children across sandy beaches in the summer time, we breathed a huge sigh of relief when we found BeachMate."

"If you go to the beach often or have traveled and made frequent trips to the beach you know how frustrating it is to haul everything. It is so nice to finally have something that holds cell phones, snacks, shovels, buckets, beach towel and more all in one. The less you have to carry in and out the better."
