Chairs, Umbrellas, Tents and More!

No beach outing is complete without the right comfort essentials—think beach chairs, umbrellas, tents, and beach carts with oversized sand tires! Ocean Rentals and Sandbridge Rentals have everything you might need. Renting standard beach equipment essentials can enhance your day at the beach, provide necessary shade, and a comfortable place to relax. Renting beach chairs can help you enjoy the beach for longer and renting shade equipment can help you avoid sunburn! Both Ocean Rentals and Sandbridge Rentals offer a variety of high-quality, sturdy beach essentials that are easy to set up and take down, use, and/or carry with you!

SUP Adventures (Paddleboards)

For a truly enchanting adventure, explore the beauty of Sandbridge on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP). Surf & Adventure Co. provides everything you need to dive into this serene activity. You can:

• Rent your board and set off directly from the beach
• Take a guided paddleboard tour through Back Bay and/or the Atlantic Ocean

We should note that beginners will likely find paddle boarding in the bay welcoming and easy!  SUP boarding in the ocean is also fun, but depending on the waves, it can present a bit more of a challenge for beginners!

Kayaks

This activity is perfect for all ages and skill levels, offering a fun way to navigate the waters and explore areas inaccessible by foot. Surf & Adventure Co. offers kayak rentals, kayak tours for beginners, and ocean kayak tours for those with some experience. They also provide all the necessary equipment and safety gear, and you can choose between single or tandem kayaks for a customized adventure.

Surfboards

Renting a surfboard on your Sandbridge vacation is a MUST! If you want to experience the closest thing to walking on water—or feel the rush of wind as the waves send you gliding across the ocean—then surf you must! Beautiful Sandbridge Beach will not disappoint either. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced surfer, local beach equipment rental shops offer both shortboard and longboard rentals (either soft-top or hard-top) as well as private surf lessons and group surf lessons. 

Catching a wave at Sandbridge is a must-do for thrill-seekers and ocean lovers alike!
