Without a good picnic blanket, alfresco dining can be an uncomfortable affair, especially when on a sandy beach. 

The annoying part of heading to the beach is bringing half of it back with you, but luckily Amazon is currently selling a beach blanket that is waterproof, sand-proof and anti-piercing. Better still, it’s oversize so the whole family can fit on it. 

Thousands of Amazon shoppers have already added the £16.99 ISOPHO Beach Mat Picnic Blanket to their shopping bags. Hailing it a ‘fantastic bit of beach kit’ and a ‘must buy’, it’s something of a summer saviour and a great buy for family trips to the beach.

While travel abroad is still on the rocks, trips to the park and the beach remain the activity du jour. 

If you’re looking for a new picnic blanket you might want to follow the thousands who have already bought and loved the ISOPHO Beach Mat Picnic Blanket.

Unlike a lot of picnic blankets that can absorb water and be a magnet for sand, the ISOPHO blanket is made out of polyester so is sand and water resistant, making for a much more pleasurable beach experience. 

Not only does the ISOPHO Beach Mat Picnic Blanket ensure you won’t have to deal with traces of sand for weeks afterwards, but the waterproof material makes it easy to wipe clean. 

It’s no wonder why it’s been a huge hit with families with kids. You can even bung it in the washing machine for a deep clean. 

Unlike other modest sized picnic blankets, this beach blanket is oversize, with many shoppers agreeing it easily fits four adults. 

Despite the oversize design, it packs down to be the same size as an iPhone so you can easily keep it in your bag for any spontaneous trips to the park or beach.  

The special polyester material is water resistant and makes shaking off sand a breeze - it's also big enough to fit a whole family

Shoppers have called the ISOPHO beach blanket ‘extremely lightweight’ and ‘very versatile’, and as it comes with four pegs it will stay put should the wind pick up.

One delighted shopper left a glowing five-star review, writing: ‘I love going to the beach however I really don’t like sand going everywhere and this completely stops this from happening.

‘And it’s huge so gives you enough space to go to the beach without someone sitting a meter from you (so corona friendly). Also one of the main advantages to this blanket is that is so compact and lightweight to just pop in your bag and go.’

Another agreed, adding: ‘Light and large, good size for a family of 4-6. Quick and easy to fold and has its own bag attached for easy storage. Can be fixed into the ground with provided pegs. Can be wiped down easily to clean.’ 

A third penned: ‘My Best Buy for the summer. With a newly crawling baby I needed something quite large for the garden, beach, park so my little boy had plenty of room to explore but didn’t want something to take up half of the boot. 

‘This is perfect as I can shove it in the bottom of the pram and pull it out when needed. It’s lightweight and great quality.’
