Abstract: A beach cart for carrying supplies to and from a beach picnic and for multi-functional use at the picnic site. Of a size to be carried readily in the trunk of a car, the cart has two wide independently-mounted wheels that support the cart near the rear of the bed and beneath the area where an ice chest is to be carried. A removable towing bar has a cross handle that permits the cart to be pulled readily over sandy or rough surfaces. A rotatable stanchion, that locks in the down position, provides, with the wheels, a three point support when the cart is in use as a table or for other purpose. Two folding racks provide support for large articles such as beach chairs or a chaise lounge when the cart is being pulled from auto to the beach site and serve as racks for holding towels or swim suits at the picnic site.
