How does this cart work on sand at the beach?

The wheels are so huge - it should, but I can't say for sure b.c I use it in my back yard which is grass and sandy soil and over my gravel driveway. You have to put air in the tires. The psi is clearly marked on the tire. If the tires are flat nothing moves, but correctly pumped, some loads I can move with just a finger. Heavier loads I use both hands and pull. I love this cart and would highly recommend it. I think I saw a review where it was used on the beach...

I am having trouble with wheels turning freely , so we have reversed washer to the inside of the wheel. It still is having trouble turning freely. In General it does well on sand if our wheels will keep turning. JA

This cart is not meant to be pulled behind a vehicle, but to be pulled by hand along a sidewalk or beach.

The cart is certainly sturdy enough to hold a cooler but I do not think it would work well in the sand because of its smaller sized wheels. I think you would end up dragging it through the sand. It is more suitable for a hard flat surface like a smooth concrete sidewalk.

I haven't used it over sand but the wheels are hugh and turn smooth so I wouldn't think there would be a problem over sand. I think you will enjoy it on sand.

I would be hesitant to give you a 100% yes on this. The tires are about 3-3.5" wide and not very tall to stay on top of the sand. It would depend what type of sand you are trying to go through. When it is water logged, it seems to have some more "holding power" versus it being powder dry. The cart itself is well enough made to haul the load. I think you could possibly get different wheel/tires that are wider and taller to fit your needs. I also believe that most of the wagons that I looked at had very similar tires/wheels.

Works good on dirt, for Sand you would need a set of paddle tires which are designed specifically for sand. Other wise it will probably just keep getting stuck.

It handles good. It rolls slower the softer the sand is, and much easier on harder sand and gravel. It has good balance. I put two waterproof boat cushions in the bottom and pull my daughter all over in it. She loves it and so do I!

I did not use it on the beach. The beach wheelchairs I have seen have different type wheels. If the sand is compact enough as in a dirt trail, it may work.

You can do either depending on the surface the cart is traveling. Pushing on a solid surface is pretty easy for me but sand is a completely different animal. I pull depending on how much we have it loaded with; however I'm older now and my arms are not the strongest...I pull and share the job with my husband. WE LOVE IT!!

I haven't used it at the beach, but I have used it in really sandy conditions in NM. It's challenging to push through sand, but it's doable. It prob does better than other strollers because the wheels don't pivot, however I wouldn't try to go very far - it'd be exhausting. Wet, packed sand would be fine!

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?

Haven't used it on a beach, but it is very light and the tires are wide, so it would probably work well unless you filled it with bricks.

As long as you "pull" behind you and not push in front it should be ok...same at the beach....this cart performs better pulling rather than pushing.

Personally, I have not tried using it in sand....only in snow and ice. Amazon has a few beach specific carts with bigger wheels: "Rio Beach Wonder Wheeler Wide Beach Cart" and Mini Folding Beach Cart by Wheeleez"Hope this helps.

They work pretty good. If the sand is real soft and fluffy it's a little more work, but this wagon is much better than any other I've tried for going through sand.

We took our BOB on a cruise and on our beach vacation. It worked great on the sand as long as the tires are inflated!

It works best on smooth surfaces with sharp edges. On rough surfaces, the edge is not crisp but it will do provided the cart is moved slower.
