Do you have a beach cart that works in soft sand? I'm ready to make the investment : ) - but I don't know which one to get. Happy summer!

We have been happy with the one we got at Costco, Tommy Bahama I think? We don't use a lot but has worked well when needed and holds a lot

Us too. We just got it this year when we moved to Florida. Weve been to Siesta Key about 6 times and its worked great. $49.99 Oh and the matching chairs are da bomb!

Thank you very much! Does it work on piles of soft sand, though? I keep reading reviews that we need the big balloon tires or at least large air-filled ones.

I have not had an issues on Siesta Key. the sand is soft fine and white. I pull it behind me w/ 4 chairs umbrella small cooler sand toys and towels. My big fear w/ air tires is having one go flat just when you need it. I see a TON of the Tommy Bahama type out here. And Im NOT paying $90 for a beach cart or wagon

We live in Florida and have the Tommy Bahama cart from Costco. It is great!

The Tommy Bahama one is made by Wonder Wheeler, and it's a great product. We use one on soft sand all summer, and it's about as good as it's going to get. I see people with the bike tire style, but they don't seem to be moving across the sand any easier than our cart. Honestly, the weight of what you've got in your cart is going to control how hard it is to pull, but the wider wheels on the Tommy Bahama/Wonder Wheeler style carts are wider and not as likely to get dug in as narrower bike tires, at least based on what I've seen.

Which beaches are you planning to use it on? Our beaches here in Michigan (dune sand) is much different than the sand in the Keys.

Thanks, all! Went to Costco and the cart looked good, so I'll try it out later this month. I appreciate your input!
