Let’s dive in to learn more about the Wekapo Sand Free Beach Blanket and find out where you can use it best!

Wekapo Beach Blanket Features

This Wekapo blanket is a very large yet compact picnic blanket.  Ideally, it is suitable for the whole family.

Despite being huge, this blanket only weighs 14 oz. It is portable and lightweight, folding down to 6’ x 7’. The attached pouch allows for convenient carrying.

Six metal stakes are included in the pouch. When setting up the Wekapo Sand Free Beach Blanket, you need to use four metal stakes in the anchor loops on each corner. They help prevent it from flipping over on windy days. The other two metal stakes are spare ones.

Moreover, this blanket has four corner pockets. These pockets may serve as storage space or sand anchors. Alternative to the metal stakes are these pockets that you may fill with sand on windy occasions.

This blanket is made of durable ripstop nylon. When shaken, this material gets rid of the collected sand. It also lets water roll off quickly. Any water that stays behind will dry fast.

The Wekapo Sand Free Beach Blanket’s fabric has triple stitching for maximum durability and strength. It is versatile and intended for use on different occasions. As a multifunctional outdoor gear, it can be taken out on camping trips and picnics. It can also be used in your garden or backyard at home.

What we like about the Wekapo Beach Blanket

This beach and picnic blanket doesn’t disappoint when it comes to size. It is huge enough for the whole family, as expected. I

Despite being large when laid out, this picnic blanket is lightweight and easy to pack. It is easy to unfold and set up. At the same time, when it is time to pack up and leave, it is easy to fold back into the attached pouch. Indeed, it is made for traveling.

Another good thing about the Wekapo Sand Free Beach Blanket, particularly its material, is that it stays cooler than other synthetic materials and it feels nice to the touch. Plus it is machine-washable!

Reasons Not to Buy the Wekapo Beach Blanket

Wekapo claims that this blanket is water-resistant. What that amounts to is something that’s more water-phobic than water-proof. Water droplets will collect and can easily be brushed away, but some water will get absorbed by the fabric, but it will dry fast. Nylon is not as water resistant as polyester like used in the OCOOPA Beach Blanket.

The other thing we don’t like about the Wekapo Beach Blanket is that it comes with metal sand stakes with no storage pouch. As any beach lover knows, metal does not do well at the seaside. These will easily corrode, so we feel plastic stakes with a stake bag would be a better inclusion.

Do We Recommend the Wekapo Beach Blanket?

Yes, we found the Wekapo Beach Blanket to be our Best Overall recommendation for a beach blanket!

This blanket is a sound investment for families who frequent the outdoors. It is not only made for the beach but also for different outdoor settings.

Measuring 10’ x 9’ when folded out, the Wekapo Sand Free Beach Blanket can comfortably fit up to six people. Despite its enormous size, it folds compactly into an attached pouch. You can bring it everywhere, thanks to its lightweight profile.

Nylon is the most comfortable of sand-free materials under the hot sun. However, if you prioritize water resistance you may want to consider a polyester beach blanket like the OCOOPA Beach Blanket, the Little Unicorn Picnic and Beach Blanket, or the RUMPL Puffy Blanket.
