Best Beach Mat Reviews 2023

Camco is a small privately-held company that was established in 1966. Its product line has more than 3,000 items, and it has manufacturing facilities worldwide. Its secret lies in its ability to provide quality products, competitive pricing, superior service and customer satisfaction.

The Camco Handy Mat is made with durable polypropylene, which makes it weather-proof and resistant to the growth of mold and mildew. At 60 x 78 inches, when folded out, it’s large enough to comfortably accommodate four sitting adults. When it isn’t in use, it folds into a convenient 10.5 x 15-inch pack with straps for ease of transporting. It even helps to keep your hands free for other tasks, with its pockets on both sides of the folded mat. You have to fold it correctly, or the straps and pockets won’t align. When folded, there’s a hook and loop flap that keeps it securely folded.

This mat features a water-resistant weave, and fabric edging that helps reinforce the blanket and prevent fraying. It is stain-resistant, and for maintenance, all you have to do is run water on it (you can use a hose for convenience) and leave it out in the open to dry. If you put this mat on a wet surface, chances are that you’ll get wet, as its woven nature means there are openings all over that’ll allow water to drain through.

Camco has other mats that you can choose from. They include:

• The Camco Multicolored Beach Mat: A 24 x 72-inch mat with ribbed padding. It can be easily rolled up and tied when not in use
• The Camco Outdoor Mat: A 9 x 12-inch, reversible mat that comes in a great variety of color options. It’s also water-resistant, lightweight and easy to clean

The Camco Handy Mat is made to serve you on the beach, when you’re RVing or camping, and at picnics.

Picnic Time has been wholeheartedly committed to keeping its customers happy since it opened in 1982. Through its tireless commitment to service, it has become an enviable brand with unique and multi-functional products that successfully unify need and want. ONIVA is one of the brands recently launched by Picnic Time. It's the brand responsible for the creation and supply of all its outdoor gear, including food totes, gardening totes and kits, beach essentials, and stadium and outdoors chairs.

The ONIVA Beachcomber Beach Mat is probably the mat for you if you’re a great lover of the outdoors. This is a lightweight portable beach mat you can use to stretch out and soak in the outdoors in style, with its 21.25 x 63.5-inch length (when open) and vibrant color. When it’s not in use, it can be folded up into a 21.3 x 2.8-inch compact pack and carried over your shoulder with its adjustable black strap.

Its sturdy inner steel frame allows you to confidently recline and gaze at the stars (if that’s what you want to do). The frame was built for longtime use. This beach mat is fully-padded for extra comfort, and its reclining backrest is adjustable. It’s also able to go all the way down so you can lie flat on the mat, but you’d have to add extra padding (say, like a thick towel) because of the frame. For added style and comfort, you can attach a small sun umbrella (using a universal clamp) to the frame; although the umbrella would be off to one side, it would still provide the desired protection from the sun. It also features a large pocket with zipper that should conveniently carry your magazine, sunblock, cover-ups, water can, sunshades and any other pocket-sized beach paraphernalia you own. Here’s another beach mat from ONIVA:

• The Picnic Time Cabo Beach Tote & Mat: Features a long-lasting polyester tote with a 69 x 23-inch coordinating woven beach mat

CGear patented its Tactical Helimat as the solution to the problem of sand and dust abatement, usually a cause of poor visibility and safety issues in sandy and dusty environments. In 2010, it took its technology outside Australia and launched it into the US and global recreational market. It caters to the need of its military market and its recreational customer base through two divisions that are of international renown in these particular markets. CGear prides itself on being the go-to company for smart and innovative solutions for a great outdoor experience.

The CGear Sand-Free Quicksand Beach Mat can be used as an extension to your picnic blanket and beach towel. How? You place the sand-free beach mat on the sand first, then lay your towel or blanket on it to keep out the sand. This way, you have a sand-free zone around you, and whatever sand finds its way into your outdoor space will be sifted down and away.

It has a smooth top layer that’s comfortable to sit and lie on. The unique, one-way sift weave allows sand to pass through the top layer and prevents it from getting back up through the weave. With this mat, you can say goodbye to sand, dust and dirt getting into your food, bags and tents when you’re outdoors.

It comes in small, medium and large sizes, with each accommodating one, two and four adults respectively. Its durable top PVC and bottom PE layers are UV stabilized so the vibrant color(s) it features will last a long time. Cleaning this mat and maintaining it is easy, as it dries quickly. The manufacturer advises against machine washing and recommends, instead, washing with a hose.

Stansport opened in 1949 to cater to the needs of camping and outdoor enthusiasts, supplying them with gear they can trust for a pleasant experience. It puts a lot of thought into the designing and manufacturing of its products, creating products that draw you into oneness with Mother Nature and all that she has to offer.

The Stansport Tatami Ground Mat, with its built-in handles, becomes its own compact carrying case with a pocket on one side to store some of your outdoor stuff. The mat is well-built and promises to last, even with extensive outdoor use. It’ll keep the sand off you at the beach, and accommodate you and your family (or group) on its large 60 x 78-inch surface.

The Tatami ground mat is made to resist water and the growth of mold and mildew, making it safe to use after it has been wiped down with a damp cloth and dried. It’s also weather-resistant, promising to withstand the elements in any climate. When folded, it can be stored anywhere without taking up space, and at half an inch thick, it’s easy to pack. Other color options include red and green, each with an alternating white band running across its width horizontally.

For e-Joy, nothing is more important than the enjoyment of outdoor life. It believes that time spent with family is a source of happiness, satisfaction and pleasure. It makes quality premium products that will make time spent with loved ones enjoyable and pleasantly memorable.

The e-Joy Beach Blanket Mat enjoys positive feedback from its countless users. It features a waterproof PVC backing that prevents water from the beach, wet grass or mud from passing through it and getting to you. The polyester material at the top is waterproof too, and it’s also comfortable. Not only will you have a sand and dirt-free surface for yourself, you also get to stay comfortably dry while you’re stretched out on the beach, reading (or whatever else you’d rather do on a beach) and getting your skin delectably tanned.

When fully folded out, it can reach 56 x 70 inches. You and your family can sit and munch on some sandwiches, away from the intrusion of sand particles. When you decide you’ve had enough of the sun for the day, you simply fold it into its 8 x 12-inch portable, carrying case size, hold it by its in-built handle and conveniently store it away. To keep it secured when it’s folded, it has a Velcro fastener. It’s easy to maintain, as all you have to do is clean it with a damp cloth. Machine washing is not recommended for this beach mat.
