Where should my beach chair be placed on the beach section?

At the dune, in the middle or directly at the water - close to the access or rather at the edge? If you want to book your beach chair online, you often still have the opportunity to think about it. In the high season, unfortunately, in many places there is no longer much choice.

Rent a beach chair in the vertical

1. beach chairs at the walkway

Right next to the walkway, you should book your beach chair if you are traveling with a stroller, wheelchair or walker, or otherwise have limited mobility. Frequent visits to the restroom or promenade can also be made more quickly from here. So if you want to get right off the boardwalk on as solid a surface as possible, this is the place for you.

2. beach chairs in the middle

What for some is the "leftover beach chair", for others is the right mix of secluded in the beach chair, away from walkers or noise of bathers and natural noise at some distance. Also playing children in the front beach area you can still observe well.

3. beach chairs at the edge

On many beaches you are allowed to put up beach shells only at a distance of 3 m from the beach chairs. If you don't want to do without your beach chair, a beach chair at the edge is suitable. Even with large air mattresses or SUBs here is the right place for you. If you are looking for some peace and quiet, a beach chair on the edge can also be the right choice for you, if it is not directly adjacent to a volleyball court, for example. Or, you like the free beach volleyball program from the first row.

Beach chair booking in the horizontal

1. beach chairs at the dune

Here it is usually less windy, because you are additionally protected by the front rows. And also the noise from playing children or beach games in the front area is much less. In addition, very few people walk past your beach chair, as the walkways here are usually only used on the way to your own beach chair, not beach walkers. With children under 3, it is also suitable for quiet naps and by the fact that the water is not always in front of your eyes.

2. beach chairs in the middle

You want to be close to the water but also retreat a bit from the hustle and bustle of the towel-loungers? Then the middle is exactly the right place for your online beach chair booking. While sleeping in your beach chair you will be watched by your neighbors - but not by thousands of beach walkers.

3. beach chairs in the first row at the sea

With small children it is both a curse and a blessing. While you can watch your kids from your position playing on the water even from the beach chair, on the other hand, you also have a hard time getting them away from the water. In addition, depending on the beach section and season, you have to reckon with the fact that there will also be towel trailers or beach shells set up in front of you.

As you can see, there's something for everyone and if you can book your beach chair online, you'll probably have even more chances to incorporate your wishes.
