Abstract: The present invention is a multi-purpose recreational blanket that serves as a lying pad and allows a user to store and transport desirable and necessary recreational items. The recreational blanket incorporates a storage compartment and an underside made of strong material so the entire blanket can be dragged across the sand, or like surface. One or more compartments are housed in the storage compartment so that desirable items, including clothing, shoes, coolers and like recreational items may be conveniently and securely stored and transported. Mesh or transparent material is used for the storage compartment allowing stored items to be easily seen, accounted for, and accessed. The handles or straps of the recreational blanket allow one or multiple users to efficiently transport the blanket and its contents. The recreational blanket may be easily stored or transported by inserting it in a carry bag.

Abstract: The present invention is a multi-purpose recreational blanket that serves as a lying pad and a means to store and transport desirable and necessary recreational items. The present invention comprises a multi-purpose blanket having an underside that may be dragged across the sand, and a lying pad. The lying pad may further comprise a pillow holder and optional blowup pillow device. The area in-between the underside and lying pad of the present invention forms a storage unit. One or more compartments are housed therein such that desirable items including clothing, shoes, coolers and like items may be conveniently and securely stored and transported. In one preferred embodiment, mesh or transparent material is used for the lying pad allowing stored items to be seen, and therefore easily accounted for and accessed. Velcro, or other desirable connection devices, partially surrounds the periphery of the lying pad and the storage compartment.
