Whether you\u2019re partying on the sexy sands of Puerto Rico or unplugging on the shores of Hawaii, we\u2019ve got a few fun beach gadgets worth packing for your winter getaway. Need help planning that? Orbitz has beachin’ sand-and-surf travel deals here<\/a> for up to 50% off.<\/p>\n

\"Ecoxgear<\/a><\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Blast some beach beats on the waterproof floating Ecoxgear Eco Terra IPX7 Boom Box <\/a>with internal iPhone\/MP3 player case that also holds keys, credit cards, and cash. Or keep the melodies on the QT, thanks to the waterproof headphone jack (waterproof ear buds sold separately).<\/p>\n

Available through West Marine for $149.99<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/i>2. \u00a0If you have a love\/hate relationship with sand, the <\/span>sandless beach mat<\/a> will help you keep the beach where it belongs. Originally designed to contain sand and dust from military helicopters, a double-layer of patented woven polyurethane filters out particulates through the bottom of the mat. It also has corner grommets for use with stakes (sold separately), as well as a handy travel bag.<\/span><\/p>\n

Available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $59.99<\/i><\/p>\n

3. \u00a0BYOB to the lake, river or sea, and attach the floating beverage caddy<\/a> to your raft or water lounger for handy drink and snack access. Constructed out of marine-grade Sunbrella canvas and filled with buoyant foam beads, this drink dinghy is stable enough to make even an ice bucket or pitcher of sangria seaworthy.<\/p>\n

Available through Brookstone from $62.23<\/i><\/p>\n

4. \u00a0The ideal image of a tropical escapeshould include a hammock, and the two-person packable variety<\/a> allows you and your holiday honey to just snuggle up or sack out under the stars. At two pounds in weight and 10.5 feet long, it\u2019s the largest travel hammock available.\u00a0 Parachute nylon and a handy hanging kit with rope and nautical-grade carabineers support 400lbs of weight between trees, posts, or a standard hammock stand (not included).<\/p>\n

Available from Sharper Image for $69.99<\/em><\/p>\n

5. \u00a0For those of us who are unable to unplug on vacation, you may as well harness the sun\u2019s energy to power your smartphone via the ultra-light Nomad 7 Solar Panel<\/a>. Seven watts of power, USB and 12V compatibility, and two ports mean you can even charge your MP3 player and your GPS device in the sunshine simultaneously.<\/p>\n

The iSup package with pump and paddle is worth floating the extra dough.<\/p>\n

8. \u00a0If you\u2019re egging to be that<\/i> guy on the sand, the Beach Lounger Pack Chair with Speakers and Digital Amplifier<\/a> is the closet thing to the shoreline version of Rodney Dangerfield\u2019s golf bag in \u201cCaddy Shack\u201d. It\u2019ll take a mere 10 seconds for your luggage to transform into a lounger, equipped with two coolers, umbrella, tote bag, pillow, speakers, storage compartment, and removable leg support. Pack a suit, sunscreen, and a magazine, and roll out with your lightweight aluminum vacation station.<\/p>\n
