Take It to the Sand: Using an Outdoor Rug on the Beach | Rug Love
Nothing says summer like the beach – sun, sea, and sandy toes. But what if you could bring a bit of home comfort to your day out? At Rug Love, we’re seeing more and more people using outdoor rugs as the ultimate beach accessory – and for good reason!
🏖️ Why Use an Outdoor Rug at the Beach?
Outdoor rugs aren't just for patios and balconies. Their durable, low-maintenance design makes them an ideal addition to your beach day setup.
1. Comfortable and Stylish Setup
Spread an outdoor rug beneath your umbrella or beach tent for a softer surface underfoot. Unlike towels that blow away or heat up in the sun, a flat-woven outdoor rug offers a stable, cool, and comfortable area for lounging, eating, or playing.
2. Sand Doesn’t Stick
Most outdoor rugs are made from polypropylene or other weather-resistant materials, which means sand doesn’t cling to them like it does to fabric towels or blankets. A quick shake and your rug is nearly clean – no gritty surprises later!
3. Easy to Carry and Store
Outdoor rugs are typically lightweight, easy to roll up, and simple to stow away. Whether you’re walking to a local beach or packing the car for a coastal road trip, they won’t take up much space – and they’re hassle-free to carry home at the end of the day.
4. Perfect for Group Gatherings
Whether it’s a picnic, birthday celebration, or beach yoga session, an outdoor rug defines the space and makes everything feel a bit more polished – and a lot more Instagrammable.
☀️ What to Look for in a Beach-Friendly Outdoor Rug
Not all rugs are created equal – especially when it comes to beach use. Here’s what to check:
-
Lightweight and foldable: You’ll want something easy to carry and fold or roll.
-
Quick-drying: Saltwater and spills are inevitable, so a fast-drying material like polypropylene is ideal.
-
UV resistance: A rug that can withstand long hours in the sun won’t fade quickly.
-
Reversible: A reversible design gives you two looks in one and helps extend its life.
Our Santa Monica Blue is a beach favourite – soft underfoot, stylish, and designed for indoor-outdoor flexibility.
🌊 Post-Beach Rug Care Tips
Taking care of your outdoor rug after a sandy day out is simple:
-
Shake it off – Do this while it’s dry to remove as much sand as possible.
-
Rinse with a hose – For salt and suncream spills.
-
Air dry fully – Lay it flat or hang it over a railing. Make sure it's completely dry before storing.
-
Avoid folding when damp – This prevents mould or odours from forming.
🧡 Final Thoughts from Rug Love
Your outdoor rug can be just as at home on the sand as it is on your decking or patio. With the right rug, you’ll elevate your beach experience from basic to brilliant – all while keeping comfort and style top of mind.
Best of all, they roll up easily and stow away without fuss, making them a practical companion for every seaside escape. So go ahead – take Rug Love to the beach. You might never want to sit on a towel again.
