Has anyone used this for the beach instead of a beach cart? How does it hold up?

I am not sure about a beach, I do know the cart is fantastic. Whenever I go out with it, several people always ask, where did you get that?! It is extremely sturdy with lots of room. I am not sure how it would do on beach sand though. Probably very well with a little extra effort. You may have to actually share the carry burden with your beach buddy to get to that perfect beach lounging spot. But on all other surfaces? It's fantastic. Cannot go wrong with this cart. I did have one problem when I ordered, it was delivered missing 2 small pieces of hardware. Sandusky overnighted them to me and it was super easy to put together.

This cart is extremely sturdy I use it for everything. At the beach would be perfect. It holds a great deal of weight and is easy to push or pull.

I'm not sure if the wheels are adaptable to beach sand. It goes across my front yard with grass but the beach might have too many obstacles. Try it and it might or might not work.

I haven't taken this to the beach, however, because the beach has soft sand, I can't imagine any cart with wheels would roll very well -- especially loaded down with goodies. Maybe what you're looking for would be attached to skis or a board?

Could work. Wheels are smaller than the beach cart wheels, but if it is not overloaded it may be fine.

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 think it will depend on the type of beach. Some beaches like on the Atlantic are somewhat hard. The wheels look fairly wide so it would probably work okay there. However, the sand is deep and very soft like sugar along the Gulf. I have a beach cart with very large balloon tires(Wheeleez) and it works best for that but it cost 3X this one.

I have not noticed any heavy wear on my cart. We walked about a block to get to the beach and I had my cart fully loaded (cooler, umbrella, towels and toys). The wheels appear to be solid but they are plastic so I would expect normal wear

Never carried it to the beach. Didn't know that it was intended for beach use. It sits on my deck. However, you should have a "nanny cart" and you wouldn't care how much the umbrella, chairs, lunch, beer, etc weighed.

I have had about 75 pounds in it and it held up well but you will need to put something flat in the bottom so it won't sag on the wheels, just pack carefully and you'll be fine. I took mine camping on a beach in deep sand and had my tent, camping equip., cooler, etc in mine it was a back saver.

I just love this cart. I am afraid that I can't answer your question because I have not run it over sand. I have gone through both rough and fine gravel without a problem and it can go through mud pretty well too.

We have had ours for years and love it! It does OK going over the soft sand, though it is easier on a hard surface.

we have used ours for 3 years and we go to the beach several times a week and never have had a problem!!

I've used mine a handful of times for my kids. It usually stays in place pretty well, it has stakes to stake it in the ground and it also has little pockets on the side you put sand in for weight. We did just come back from a vacation 2 weeks ago where there was a day we went to the beach and it wasn't holding up so well but that's the first time we've had problems.

I love it for the beach and the sand. But just make sure you lock the front wheel in place for more traction in the sand. This is my favorite stroller EVER!

I have used it on sand (beach) and rough terrain (tree roots/grass) and it has been great. Big wheels and good shock absorption.

I live on the beach in Panama City Beach. When on hard surfaces it is quite easy to push. I don't recommend overloading or putting a loaded cooler on it. Once you get to the soft sand, turn the cart around and pull it - that way it works quite nicely.Certainly beats hauling your stuff in your hands.

I have taken it on sand. It moves fine, but I have it connected to a bike, which isn't so easy to ride in sand. Normally I hop off of the bike and just walk it and have never had an issue with the cart getting stuck.

Sorry for taking so long to respond, my notifications are horrible lol!!! Okay, back to the question, the cart is fine against the areas of the beach BUT...... be very wary on bumping against hard items because the metal is easily bendable. If you don't bump into nothing severe than you are fine.

The only issue for the beach would be the weight. 8 'D' batteries are pretty heavy. But it folds up nicely and is super portable so I'd say yes, if you don't mind the extra weight.

I've filled my cart with groceries and rolled it along 3 or so blocks along brick, sidewalk, and cobblestone. I've only rolled it on 2 wheels rather than 4 (because the groceries were heavy) but it managed just fine through ice, a thin layer of snow and salt. I haven't tried it on rougher terrain i.e. Thick snow, but I think it's great!
