Beach Gear and Supplies

Beach gear for Los Angeles

A full day at the beach in LA — Venice, Malibu, Zuma, El Porto, or the South Bay — takes more than just a board and a wetsuit. Sun protection, somewhere comfortable to sit, gear to change in and out of, and something to keep your water cold. Here's what we carry.

Neso beach tents and chairs

Neso makes the best beach shade products we carry. The Grande Tent and Gigante Tent are their flagship sun shelters — lightweight, fast to set up, and designed specifically for sandy beach conditions. Rather than stakes that pull out in soft sand, Neso tents use sand anchors that fill with sand for a stable hold. The Grande folds down to a compact carry bag that fits over a shoulder. The Gigante offers more coverage for families or groups.

The Neso Chair and Chair XL are low-profile beach chairs designed to pair with the tents — the same sand-worthy design philosophy applied to seating. The Sidelines Grande is a hybrid tent and chair system. Neso also makes surfboard covers — the Short and Long versions protect boards during beach sessions and transport.

Beach umbrellas

A classic beach umbrella is the most familiar shade solution. We carry the Sun Bum Beach Umbrella and a selection from various brands. For serious all-day beach sessions the Neso tent is more stable and covers more area, but a good umbrella is the right call for shorter sessions or when you want to travel lighter.

Sun protection

A full day at a Southern California beach means significant UV exposure. Broad spectrum sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses are essential. Browse our full sunscreen range and sunglasses.

Changing gear

A changing poncho and mat make the post-session parking lot change civilized rather than awkward. Browse changing ponchos and wetsuit changing mats.
