Beach Tent or Shelter
The Aussie sun doesn’t muck around! While we’re all about fun in the sun, a bit too much of it can really ruin your day - that’s where a solid beach shelter is worth its weight in gold.
It’s the ideal accessory for any trip to the big blue that’ll help you laze away the hours while keeping cool and comfortable. BCF’s epic range of beach shades and shelters are lightweight, easy to transport and even easier to set up. With UPF 50+ sun protection, you’ll have no dramas keeping those UV rays in check. They’re perfect for kids, arvo naps or a break from the heat, and best of all, they pack down small, making transport and storage a breeze. From beach days to backyard BBQs, these beauties are anything but a one-trick pony, and if shelter is what you’re chasing, a pop up beach tent will have you covered... literally!
Beach Cart or Wagon
Forget the juggling act between the car and the shoreline. With the help of a camp cart, hauling gear across the sand has never been easier. It’s the perfect addition to any beach setup and an absolute game-changer for the beach-lovers out there.
Built to handle serious loads, a beach wagon is a beast that can handle transporting shelters, chairs, iceboxes and just about anything else you could use on a beach day – all in one go! The clever design folds up small making it a cinch to store and fit in just about any boot space with detachable wheels and telescopic handle – because why not make life easier? To top it off, some models even come with dual cup holders and umbrella mounts – how good!
Icebox or Soft Cooler
Cold drinks and fresh food should be a non-negotiable on beach days, helping to keep hunger at bay and sorting out your hydration levels too. Whether you’re flying solo, have your fam in tow or are hanging with your mates, when the refreshments come out, everyone’s enjoyment levels kick into overdrive.
When you’re looking for the perfect icebox to use at the beach, there are a few things to keep in mind. Brand and size should be right up there as some models provide better ice retention than others. If you’re worried about lugging your frosty friend all the way down to the shore, there are plenty of wheeled options that help make navigating the sand a piece of cake. Made from high quality and durable materials, BCF’s whole range will easily keep your goods cold for a full day at the beach. You simply can't leave for a day on the sand without packing an icebox or soft cooler.
Beach Chair
Sandy towels are fine… for about five minutes. But, if you’re looking to level up your seating solution, a proper beach chair is the only way to go.
BCF stock plenty of beach-ready chairs, that’ll keep you off the hot sand and comfy for hours. Lightweight, portable and easy to carry, they’re perfect for kicking back with a book, watching the waves roll in or settling in for sunset. Once you’ve used one of these, there’s no going back to sandy cheeks!
Beach Cricket, Inflatables & Toys
So, you’ve claimed the perfect patch of sand, set up the beach shelter and cracked open a cold one, now what? Well, now it’s time for the fun stuff!
No trip to the beach is complete without a game of beach cricket, a toss of the footy or a splash in the shallows. From classic beach toys and games to inflatable fun, you’ll find something for kids big and small at BCF. Coming in a huge range of shapes and sizes, we’re sure you’ll find something that tickles your fancy. Just don’t forget the air pump – no one wants to feel flat before the fun even starts.
