One of the biggest problems with bringing clothes, towels, camera bags, etc., to the beach is keeping the sand off.  How do you keep your stuff out of the sand? Sand sticks to everything, doesn't it?

Sean Selders, of Winter Park, Florida, came up with an idea that I think is great. He's produced a product called the Pole-R Bear that works with your beach umbrella. It is essentially four hooks attached to a rubber strap, which attaches to your beach umbrella pole. You can hang lots of stuff on the hooks, which will keep everything off the sand without cluttering up your beach blanket.

Why didn't I think of that!

I like it so much that I even produced a YouTube video about the Pole-R Bear umbrella hooks and how this product works.

You can visit the Pole-Rbear website and find out where to order this helpful device. Here's a tip: You can use more than one per umbrella. Use 2 and hang even more stuff!

You can find the product at www.pole-rbear.com

Note: I don't have any financial interest in the product. I just like it and use it.
