This Sand Spike is a must-have if you frequent sandbars or beaches and are always looking for something to tie off to. We tried it out this summer after watching our watermat drift off with inattentive teenagers on board when the “big rock” didn’t do the trick. The simple design that is approximately 12 inches wide with handles dipped in rubber and a 24-inch spike going down keeps watermats, tubes and anything else we want to stay put firmly in place. It has a powder-coated finish with a loop at the top and at just $24.99 it’s hard to beat. Plus it comes from Cat River Anchors, an anchor manufacturer who knows a thing or two about keeping boats secure. At this price it’s a low-risk solution to securing your toys while at the sandbar or on the shore.
