Sometimes, you want to go beyond your backyard oasis, but you still have to work. Luckily, with the right tech, you can have the best of both worlds at the beach—work and play.
Warm weather is fast approaching—but it’s trickier to work in the sunshine than you may think. From screen glare to pesky sand particles, working from the beach can present a host of issues.
But our suggestions for tech to help you work from the beach can resolve a few obstacles to help you get work done while enjoying the sand and surf.
Harness the Sun With BigBlue’s 63W Portable Solar Charger

The BigBlue 63W Portable Solar Charger has high-performing solar panels. And according to its manufacturer, it can provide a conversion rate of between 21% and 23.5%, which is pretty good considering most solar panels convert sunlight into usable power at a rate of 11% to 15%.
Another plus is that the BigBlue portable solar charger has 5V USB, USB-C, and 19V DC charging ports. So, you can use it to charge all the devices you need for a productive workday at the beach, such as a:

BigBlue even has a 10-1 connector kit you can use to charge some power stations.
If you’re worried about lugging a big charger onto the beach, don’t be. BigBlue makes the 63W Portable Solar Charger using a polymer fabric. The entire setup weighs less than four pounds and folds into the size of a small briefcase. It even fits into a normal-sized backpack, making it easier to transport it to the perfect beach office.
Icybreeze V2 Pro Keeps You Cool in the Heat
Don’t take away enjoyment from a workday at the beach by overheating. The Icybreeze V2 Pro portable air conditioner is just what you need to stay cool and productive.
