This is the cornerstone of any serious beach setup. The all-day lounger knows that comfort and protection are non-negotiable. They need serious shade that is as stylish as it is functional. It’s lightweight and portable but built with the robust quality and premium materials Basil Bangs is known for. The classic silhouette, signature prints, and UPF50+ canopy make it the perfect statement piece for a long, relaxed day on the sand. Don't forget to add our sand-anchor to go with it for easy set-up.

For the Deck-to-Beach Hybrid
The Lounger

For the 'Carries Everything' Captain
Beach Bag
