Beach Glass Review: Never Spill Your Drink at the Beach Again

How the Beach Glass Rates:

• Usefulness: 8/10 While drink spillage at the beach certainly isn’t the worst problem you could have, these glasses are great if you have a beach house or are renting one for a vacation. They are easy to stick into the ground or sand, and fun to use. (Come wintertime, they could also be used in the snow for some apres-ski.) Since they are plastic, they float and the material makes them safe to use around kids and pets. There were times where I wished I could set the glass down on a flat surface (in particular when I was at the pool) so I would consider investing in the serving/storage tray (pictured), which gives you the option of standing the glass upright and doubles for storage.
• Value: 7/10 The Beach Glass costs about the same as a regular wine glass, but these ones are plastic, so the price is a little steep. They are BPA-free and dishwasher safe, which are nice features.
• Portability: 7/10 The glasses are easy to pack if you’re packing up kitchenware for a beach house or rental and since they’re plastic, they are durable. They are a little awkward to store though, so again, I recommend purchasing the serving/storage tray.
• Cool Factor: 10/10 Everyone was asking about the glass when I was using it and wanted a chance to try it, so I’d say they were pretty cool. They come in a variety of styles and colors, so you can mix and match your set.

Final Verdict: If you’re at the beach frequently and drinking out of an open container, The Beach Glass is a fun investment. While they’re not a necessity, they’re entertaining to have around at a beach house or rental.
