4 Things to Know About Beach Carts

Focus on tire width, not just diameter Wide, low-pressure tires at least 3–4 inches wide float over soft sand. Narrow wheels dig in, even if the diameter is 10–12 inches.

Look for a low, wide frame A tall, narrow cart tips easily when loaded unevenly. Choose a wide wheelbase and a low deck so the center of gravity stays close to the axle height.

Avoid high handles that make you lean back Elevated handles pull the rear wheels up when you lean back. A low handle keeps the cart stable and easier to pull.

Inflated tires beat solid plastic ones Cheap aluminum carts with balloon tires work as well as expensive folding models. Just make sure the tires are inflated, not solid plastic.
