Picnic season is finally here, and if you plan to make the most of outdoor dining this summer, you’ll need a picnic blanket to complete your setup.

Wet weather and sand can quickly put a damper on any outdoor event, but that’s where the ISOPHO beach blanket comes in.

Waterproof, sand-resistant, and puncture-resistant, the ISOPHO beach blanket has garnered over 3,000 five-star Amazon reviews from impressed buyers. Hailed “a must-have”, it’s something of a summer savior and a great buy for family trips to the beach. Even better? It’s on sale for £17.99 (was £29.99).

This oversized, lightweight beach mat is sand and moisture resistant.

It rubs easily on the sand and dries quickly, allowing you to enjoy time outdoors without having to worry about all the hassle of the beach.

The ISOPHO beach blanket has been purchased and loved by thousands of delighted families who have reaped the rewards of beachside picnics without sand.

Unlike many picnic blankets which can absorb water and be a sand magnet, the ISOPHO blanket is made of polyester, repelling sand and water, making the beach experience much more enjoyable .

The boring part of going to the beach is bringing half of it back with you, but the ISOPHO beach blanket ensures you won’t have to deal with streaks of sand for weeks afterwards.

All thanks to the patented anti-wrinkle 210T polyester material. The soft fabric is sand and water resistant, as well as odorless and heat insulating, so you can comfortably enjoy your outdoor outings this spring and summer.

With a higher level of waterproofing than an umbrella, it is also a clever insurance against spontaneous showers or splashes.

Plus, the beach blanket is incredibly lightweight and folds down to little more than a cell phone. Despite its incredibly portable size, buyers agree that the blanket easily fits four adults or a small family.

The special polyester material is water resistant and makes shaking off the sand a snap. It is also large enough to accommodate a whole family.

Amazon shoppers called the Sandproof Beach Blanket a “must have for picnics and days at the beach!” Plus, since it comes with four pegs, it’ll stay put if the wind picks up.

One impressed buyer wrote: ‘It’s fantastic, you don’t have to worry about kids or the dog running across the blanket with sandy feet as it will just wipe clean and won’t stick to the fibres.

‘There are pegs to hold it in place, and the bag stays attached to the blanket, so no shedding. Great sturdy quality. Highly recommend.’

Another agreed, adding: “It’s amazing!! Great for the beach, in the garden and in the park. The material looks like a parachute or something. So easy to fold up and store and absolutely huge!! It has had a lot of use this summer!’.

A third wrote: ‘Don’t know how I survived going to the beach before I owned this! No more sand-covered towels!

‘Just a nice easy and lightweight beach blanket. Folds up beautifully into its carry bag and has fabulous pegs to keep it where you put it, so the sea breeze won’t steal it away!
