About BeachChair.com.au

Our Mission

At BeachChair.com.au, we believe that the right beach chair can transform your coastal experience from merely pleasant to truly exceptional. Our mission is simple: to help every Australian find the perfect beach seating that matches their needs, preferences, and budget. Whether you're a daily sunrise swimmer at Bondi, a weekend warrior exploring the Surf Coast, or a family making annual pilgrimages to the Sunshine Coast, we're here to ensure you do it in comfort.

Who We Are

We're a small team of beach enthusiasts based across Australia's eastern seaboard. Our backgrounds span outdoor recreation, product testing, and consumer advocacy, but what unites us is a genuine love for Australia's coastline and the simple pleasure of a comfortable seat by the sea.

Our team has collectively spent thousands of hours on Australian beaches—from the wild southern shores of Tasmania to the tropical waters of Far North Queensland. We've tested chairs in howling southerly winds, scorching summer heat, and everything in between. We understand the unique challenges that Australian beach conditions present, from corrosive salt spray to UV exposure that's among the most intense in the world.

Our Approach

Every piece of content on BeachChair.com.au reflects our commitment to genuine helpfulness over salesmanship. Our educational guides cover everything from beach safety fundamentals to equipment maintenance, helping you get the most from your beach gear regardless of where you purchased it. We believe that informed consumers make better decisions, and we're proud to provide that information freely.

When we recommend products, we do so based on extensive research into specifications, user reviews across multiple platforms, and our understanding of what different types of beachgoers actually need. We're upfront about our affiliate relationships—we earn commissions when you purchase through our links to Amazon—but this never influences our recommendations. We'd rather point you to the right product, even if it means a smaller commission, than risk losing your trust.

Our Expertise

Beach chairs might seem simple, but there's genuine complexity in understanding what separates a chair that lasts a season from one that serves you for a decade. We delve into frame materials—the difference between anodised aluminium and basic alloys, why certain stainless steel grades resist salt better than others. We understand fabric technologies, from basic polyester to advanced Textilene mesh. We know how recline mechanisms fail and what design features predict longevity.

Beyond product knowledge, we understand the Australian beach experience intimately. We know the importance of UPF ratings in our intense sun. We appreciate why low-slung chairs work better on our often-windy beaches. We understand the specific needs of families managing children in the surf zone, of older Australians who need easier entry and exit, and of the dedicated surf fishing community who need different features entirely.

Looking Forward

We're continually expanding our coverage, adding new guides, updating recommendations as products change, and responding to questions from our readers. Our goal is to become the definitive Australian resource for beach seating—a place where anyone can find clear, honest, helpful information to improve their time at the beach.
