When you get to the Alabama coast, you want to get out to the beach as quickly as possible. We understand that. One of the things you can do to make your trip smoother and more enjoyable is to leave the beach chairs and umbrellas at home. They just take up a lot of room in your vehicle.

When you get to the beach, use a service such as Ike’s or Perdido Beach Services. You can rent chairs, umbrellas, and even kayaks and paddleboards at the beach right in front of your condo. You can rent on a daily or weekly basis, depending on your needs.

It’s one less thing to pack in the car. It’s also one less thing to tote back and forth to the beach during your stay. Leave Only Footprints regulations prohibit leaving gear out overnight. Any personal items left on the beach an hour after sunset are removed by city crews. Last year, 18 tons of metal tent frames and chairs were among the 161 tons of total materials removed. Renting from a beach service helps cut down on waste as well.

In addition, the beach service sets up the chairs, cushions and umbrellas for you, making it convenient and hassle free.

Just what you want on your beach escape, right?
