Hi there, would this cooler roll well in sand? Would it work for the beach? Thanks!

The wheels are rather small so I would guess not. I don't live near sand so I have not had the opportunity to try out on sand. Unless you are a very short person, I do not recommend this cooler. The handle is about 3 inches too short for a normal size person. My daughter is around 4 feet tall and she pulls it around comfortably.

Hi...I don't believe it would roll well in sand. We use it at the park, and it works well rolling on hard surfaces from what I can tell.

I have never used the cooler at the beach, so I don't know how well it would roll over sand.

I'm not sure. Sand could probably get caught between the wheels. I have never brought it to the beach before.

I use it at the beach but it's not meant for the beach, the wheels are too small. I've not found one with large wheels that's this small. I mainly bring it to ball fields, etc. if you take it to the beach you end up dragging it through the sand. Other than that it's a great cooler. I've had 4 of them. Hope this helps!

Wheels are only good on hards surfaces. It's small enough to just carry. Stop being lazy.

Does not work well in sand. There are other wheeled items I've purchased thru amazon that are made specifically for sand that work well.

If sand is soft, nothing rolls well in it! I live in Hawaii :) But it is small enough to carry a short distance if you are capable.

I have not needed to roll the cooler for long distances. I estimate that it has rolled a total of 100 yards with 60+ pounds of weight. So far no problems.

Never tried it on sand. Should be okay on packed sand. Think the bar through wheels would get stuck in soft sand.

This works fine over a brick pathway, gravel driveway, and on cement and asphalt and even over dry dirt. Haven't used it on sand but for our California beaches, the best bet is fat balloon tires.

We have not had any problems. We store our beach gear inside as well though which includes our cooler so.....it depends also lately where you set up loose sand doesn't hold stakes well wet sand works better but you might get wet. Better to give up a little space to your cooler keep your sodas colder longer too.

We have used this at the beach. No rain but I think it would work pretty well. We really enjoyed it for the shade!!

I've never had it on sand, but we take it in the grass and a gravel road all of the time. With its large wheels, I would imagine it would be fine in the sand. We've had it since Aug 2013 and love it! We use it almost everyday to go to the park

I have not used as a cooler. However I doubt it would work too well for that unless you made modifications. The plastic isn't super thick so you would be lacking in insulation. However, if you lined it with styrofoam first possibly it may keep things cold for a while. But do you really want to do all that for something that is going to provide minimal results at best. They make all kinds of nice coolers these days.

i have not used this in sand, so i have no idea how it would handle in sand--sorry.

Definitely would be good at the beach, I would prefer it over plastic, it might even be cooler. Very, very sturdy and COMFORTABLE! It is a little wider than regular folding chairs but it is not higher off the ground. Two children could sit in this chair, but not "several" adults, check measurements :)

I have used it in soft sand and it rolls fine. The only thing you must do is pull it behind you rather than push it.

I have not used it at the beach, but I would not expect it to work there. You need large, inflatable tires to go over sand.

It does not pull good in beach sand. I hate mine. On solid ground or street its great

Unfortunately I don't know how it is on the beach/sand. It's a great net and we travel with it a lot but haven't tried the beach yet. As long as you can get the posts in deep enough to secure it, I think it would work well. Good luck.

If you do take it to the beach, you will need to keep it plugged into your car to keep food and drinks cold. I don't recommend it for the beach because it is made to work like a small portable refrigerator and if sand were to get into the motor it could damage it. Very light. I am a truck driver so it stays plugged in and in use 5 days a week.

It is fine for beach use due to the big tires. I'm sure that is you loaded it with 300 pounds it would be difficult but with reasonable loads it's fine. Be sure to rinse out the wheel bearings after beach use though.

I use it for outside. It's plastic, so weather won't affect it all that much, although it could crack from extreme heat or cold. Then again, any plastic will do the same thing. It seems well made, and holds a lot of weight, me.
