Best Beach Wagon for Soft Sand (Updated 2022)

Not all beach carts are made the same. One of the complaints we hear the most from our friends and families about beach wagons they’ve bought elsewhere is that instead of rolling, the cart felt more being dragged around on a soft beach. And that’s why we decided to put together a list of the best beach wagon for soft sand.

The items here are listed according to the pricing from low to high. Also, feel free to check out our 2022 Roundup of Best Beach Carts to buy.
