The Best Beach Chairs From Amazon to Buy Now

TikTok users rave about this lounging beach chair, which is thoughtfully designed for comfortable tanning. It has arm holes and a built-in pillow flap that opens up to reveal a padded hole for your face—making it ideal for scrolling, reading, or even working on a laptop while lying flat on your stomach, according to Contributing writer Kelsey Mulvey, who tested this product herself. Once you're done sunbathing, it folds up and features a carry strap for transport. "I really enjoyed using the Ostrich Beach Chair," Mulvey says. "While it's a high-quality, sturdy chair on its own, the face cavity and designated arm holes make this seat truly something special."

Complete with elegant wooden armrests and a sleek silhouette, Caribbean Joe's foldable beach chair offers comfort and style at a reasonable price. This adjustable chair has helpful features like a cushioned headrest, a cup holder, and padded backpack straps for convenient transport. It also sits higher than other chairs on this list at 16 inches, making it easier to get up from, according to some reviewers. Shop it in five colors and patterns, including this rich cherry red. "My husband is 6'5" and has two replaced knees, so getting up out of a traditional low beach chair was just not happening," one Amazon reviewer wrote. "This one is high enough that he can get up easily. It's sturdy, comfortable, and easy for him to carry."

Finding shady spots on the beach is no easy feat, so create your own with this clever chair. It comes with its own adjustable umbrella that offers an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of 50, meaning that its fabric blocks 98 percent of UV rays. We love that this adjustable chair is outfitted with convenient features like a detachable footrest, an insulated drink pocket, and a cup holder. A happy reviewer said, "I moved to the beach and I am so glad I got this! The umbrella for shade is perfect and the footrest is awesome! I love the pouches for storing things I need on hand."

If you struggle getting in and out of lower-set chairs, consider this extended-height option from Rio Brands. Standing 17 inches off the ground, it's a great option for people with mobility issues, according to reviewers. This chair has four different adjustable positions and comes complete with an insulated storage pocket, cup holder, and phone holder. One reviewer added, "I bought this for my mother-in-law as she cannot sit in the low beach chairs. It’s very sturdy and she enjoyed her beach trip because she didn’t have to hike her self out of the low chair!"

This folding beach chair is perfect for unwinding outdoors. Its flexible lace-up construction is designed to conform to your body for a relaxing feel—all while adding a touch of nautical style. Reviewers appreciate how it has a storage pouch large enough to hold your towel, as well as a cupholder on one side for holding beverages hands-free. Plus, it has a pillow to support your head and neck. One reviewer wrote, "This is a lightweight backpack chair that is really well built. My 64-year-old body has no problem getting up from this sturdy chair."

Weighing a little over six pounds, this beach chair is the lightest option in our roundup, making it easier to transport if the beach is a long walk away. It also folds up into its included carry bag for traveling. While it's not adjustable like some other chairs, reviewers like its fun striped pattern and handy back storage pocket. "My wife and I bought two Coleman Utopia beach chairs for our recent trip to St. John [and] they worked perfectly," one reviewer wrote. "The chairs are sturdily constructed, fun colors, and the drink holder is a nice plus. We loved that they collapsed into a 'cylinder' shape, because this allowed us to carry them over the shoulder, or to put them in a medium-sized backpack for hiking."

With the ability to support up to 1,000 pounds, this chair from LivingXL is by far the most heavy-duty option on our list—most chairs only support 250 pounds. An additional steel center adds extra support, and it has a fully padded seat for comfort. While it doesn't turn into a backpack like other options, it does fold down into its included storage tote. We also love that this chair boasts a built-in zipper cooler pocket to keep your drinks chilled. One glowing review said, "I am 6’6” and about 375 pounds. I would buy 'heavy duty' chairs and trash them in a weekend if not immediately upon sitting. I bought this and it’s as sturdy as a rock."

Prefer sitting lower to the ground? Opt for KingCamp's low profile beach chair. A steal at just $40, it features a breathable mesh panel down its back to keep you cool and comfortable during scorching hot days. Though it's not adjustable, it does fold down into a packable cylinder with a carry strap that's simple to toss over your shoulder or into your beach bag. It also has a cupholder to keep your favorite drinks and snacks on hand. A reviewer added, "I live in Florida and go to the beach weekly in the summer. I have been through so many beach chairs that I couldn’t count them if I tried. These are the BEST. My husband and I are both 200+ pounds and not for a second do I worry about these chairs holding up. They fold easily and are very well made."
