Going to the beach is a great way to get in some exercise, relaxation, and fun. I usually wear some flip flops<\/a> to the beach and sometimes if I know there will be rocks under the water, I bring my water shoes<\/a>. Once in a while, I bring a cooler to help carry food for larger groups of people.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cooler with wheels can roll in the sand if it has large enough tires and is positioned well. Coolers with wheels that extend several inches below the cooler bottom <\/strong>and behind the back can usually roll over the sand. Wider wheels also prevent the cooler from sinking in the sand.  <\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having plenty of fluids and some food can make your beach trip a better experience. If you love the beach, you probably already have used one type of cooler or another. Let’s find out which coolers are best for the beach and which are not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Case Study for Wheeled Coolers in the Sand<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

When I was young, my family had a cooler without wheels we would carry to the beach. It worked well but it was heavy. Sometimes we would drag it across the sand until we got to the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily there are lots of wheeled coolers available today. You don’t need to risk injuring yourself, trying to carry a heavy cooler. You can get one with wheels and a handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I have a cooler with wheels and a telescoping handle. It works well and rolls well on the sidewalk and pavement. It’s lightweight and can carry plenty of food and drinks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem occurs when I try to take it through the sand. The wheels sink into the sand and the cooler starts to drag. The wheels aren’t positioned far enough away from the cooler to prevent dragging, so my cooler drags a little to a lot, depending on how much weight it is carrying.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have an igloo cooler that weighs about 16 pounds. It is very easy to pull on smooth pathways, but when you get to the sand, it wants to sink in. It still rolls a bit, depending on how much weight is in it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
