Review on WELLAX Waterproof Beach Blanket - 9X10 Ft, Sand Repellent, Lightweight And Durable For 8 Persons With 8 Pockets And 4 Stakes - Perfect For Picnics, Camping, Travel & Outdoor Activities. by Kevin Ilango

This beach blanket cannot be more perfect. I was looking for 4 main things in a beach blanket and this one has it all!First, it rolls up into a small bag for easy transport which is so important when you have a million other things to lug onto the beach - the last thing you need is a bulky cumbersome beach blanket.Second, it's HUGE so you can fit a pop up tent, beach chairs, and a handful of people on it with room to spare.Third, the pockets that you can fill with sand to keep the blanket from blowing away are extremely effective and quick and easy to set up. Probably THE MOST annoying thing about other beach blankets is no way to anchor them down except to use whatever else you've lugged onto the beach to hold down the 4 corners, but 90% of the time it doesn't work for one reason or another. So, the 6 sand pockets are awesome!Fourth, it is SO EASY to get sand off of it. It doesn't matter if you got wet sand or dry sand on it, all you do is give it a little shake and it comes off, making for a super easy clean up and pack up at the end of a long beach day. I've tried other beach blankets that claimed to be sand free that were not at all, like those stiff, weaved straw looking mats. They just made a huge mess. And they were scratchy, not comfortable at all, while this beach blanket is soft and comfortable.As a bonus, the free waterproof cell phone protector was a huge selling point for me because I wanted one of those as well. So by buying this blanket, I killed two birds with one stone. I can't think of one negative thing about the blanket or the cell phone protector - 5 stars all the way! It was exactly what I was looking for!
