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 Badazz Webb

We go to the beach often, and when we had a baby, I knew I had to get something bigger than a towel for us to lounge on. I wanted something that was easily cleaned and wouldn't get sand in my house. I also wanted it to be big enough for myself, my husband, and my baby to comfortably sit on together.This blanket fits the bill on all of those. It is very lightweight (parachute-type material) and the sand just shakes right off. It is HUGE and easily fits my family plus others. It's not waterproof but water does bead up which gives you a chance to clean up spills. It comes with stakes to keep it from blowing away which work really well. We haven't used the weighted pockets because the stakes are so easy. I was skeptical about it fitting back into the tiny (attached) bag but it packs back in very nicely with little effort.I bought this as a "nice-to-have" item for our trips to the beach. I find myself using it over and over in lots of different places. Even my husband commented and asked where I got it. I only wish I had bought it sooner!
