Top Essentials for the Perfect Beach or Pool Day
Planning a day at the beach or pool requires the right gear to ensure maximum comfort and enjoyment. Whether it's protecting yourself from the sun, staying hydrated, or having fun with water toys, having the proper equipment can make all the difference.
At Pleasants Hardware, we offer a wide range of high-quality products to help you make the most of your summer outings. Check out our ultimate checklist to ensure you're fully prepared for your next beach or pool adventure.
Comfortable Seating
Ensuring you have a comfortable place to sit can greatly enhance your beach or pool experience. Lightweight, portable chairs are ideal for relaxation and to not over exhaust as you carry your chairs to and from your water spot. Look for options with cup holders and adjustable recline positions for added convenience.
We suggest Tommy Bahama Beach Chairs and Rio Beach Chairs for high quality outdoor chairs. Rio even offers chair canopies for extra sun protection.

Coolers and Hydration
Keeping hydrated is vital under the hot sun and bringing along a high-quality cooler will keep your drinks and snacks cool throughout the day. Yeti coolers are highly recommended for their exceptional insulation and durability. The Yeti Hopper Flip Soft Cooler is an excellent choice, providing ample space for ice, drinks, and snacks, along with an easy-to-carry strap. Yeti’s ice packs are perfect for maintaining ice and ensuring your drinks stay cold longer.

Water Toys and Floats
Add a splash of fun to your day with water toys and floats. From beach balls to inflatable loungers, these toys and seats are perfect for all ages. Floats are sure to help make the water at the beach or pool even more exciting—choose from a hot pink flamingo float, a TRex Noodle, a Mermaid Shell Float, or a Kool Lounge Chair. Our selection of beach toys and accessories is sure to make your day more enjoyable.

Sunscreen and Sun Protection
The summer sun can be intense, making sun protection essential. Not only is using a high SPF sunscreen is crucial, but reapplying it every few hours, especially after swimming, will ensure your skin is safeguarded. Also, pack lip balm with SPF, sun hats to shield your face, and sunglasses to protect your eyes. We recommend Costa sunglasses for their superior UV protection, polarization, and scratch resistance.

Transport and Storage
Transporting all your gear can be a challenge, but the right cart can make it easier. WheelEEZ carts are designed to handle sand and rough terrain, making them ideal for carrying your beach essentials. These durable carts feature wide, low-pressure wheels that glide smoothly over soft sand, ensuring easy transport of coolers, chairs, umbrellas, and more. They are also great for summer sports, such as swim teams.
Wheeleez Beach Cart is the perfect solution to transport all your beach gear over soft sand or other challenging terrain in one trip. It is easy to travel with or store because the handle bar and kickstand fold and the wheels and axles can be removed without tools for compact storage and transporting. It is also ideal for gardening, yard work and other home projects.
With the right preparation, your beach or pool day can be both relaxing and enjoyable. At Pleasants Hardware, we stock top brands like Yeti, Neso, and CoolCabanas, and offer a convenient “same-day pickup” option to get you ready quickly. Stop by your neighborhood Pleasants Hardware today!
