It won't be completely sand-free in heavy surf conditions — but compared to a standard beach towel or cotton rug, the difference is significant. A quick shake when you pack up removes most remaining sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I stop it from blowing away in coastal wind?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse both methods together: fill the four corner pockets with sand or small rocks, and push the included ABS stakes through the loops into the ground. This combination holds firmly even in a decent sea breeze — common on Australian beaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it big enough for a family?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 200 x 274 cm, it comfortably fits 4 adults lying down, or a family group of 5–7 sitting.

The carabiner clips easily onto a backpack or day bag, so it's always with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I clean it after a beach day?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShake off loose sand first, then either rinse with a hose or machine wash on a gentle cycle. It dries quickly in the Australian sun — usually within an hour — so it's ready to pack away the same day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nomad Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42224300720213,"sku":null,"price":129.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/7241\/0709\/files\/61Mm2r_Fq3L._AC_SL1000.jpg?v=1773061313","url":"https:\/\/nomadaustralia.com.au\/products\/sandproof-waterproof-beach-blanket-large-picnic-mat-nomad-australia","provider":"Nomad Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
