Beach chairs, umbrellas, kayaks, paddleboards, e-bikes, picnic setups, and more — everything you can rent for a perfect day on the Gulf Coast.
You should not have to pack your car like a moving truck to have a great beach day in Tampa Bay. The Gulf Coast has some of the best beaches in the country — Fort De Soto, St. Pete Beach, Clearwater Beach, Treasure Island — and the experience of getting there should be effortless. Everything you need for a perfect day on the sand is available to rent from local hosts, with delivery and pickup handled for you. Here is the full guide.
The most common complaint about a beach day is lugging gear from the car to the sand. Local hosts on Nably offer beach chair and umbrella rentals with delivery directly to your beach location — you arrive to a set-up spot, chairs already angled toward the water, umbrella already staked. When you are done, the host comes back and takes everything. No car rack, no dragging, no sand in the trunk. Book at nably.co.
The calm waters around St. Pete and Tampa Bay are ideal for kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. The mangrove channels behind the barrier islands are particularly beautiful — a completely different experience from the open Gulf. Local hosts on Nably offer kayak and paddleboard rentals with delivery to your launch location, so you are not dealing with roof racks or rental shop lines. Inflatable paddleboards and sit-on-top kayaks are both available, suitable for all skill levels.
The Pinellas Trail runs 38 miles through the county and passes through some genuinely beautiful stretches of waterfront. A local host on Nably offers electric bike rentals at $75 per day with convenient drop-off and pick-up delivered directly to you in St. Petersburg. An e-bike means you can cover the full trail, explore the beach neighborhoods, and get between spots without a car — and without wearing yourself out before you even hit the sand.
A luxury beach picnic setup is the upgrade that turns a good beach day into a great one. A local host delivers and sets up a fully styled scene — low table, cushioned seating, fresh flowers, chilled drinks, and all the finishing touches — before you arrive. You show up, enjoy, and leave. The host breaks everything down. Pricing starts at $1,200 per event, with optional add-ons including personalized welcome signs and custom place cards.
Beyond the basics, local hosts on Nably offer a range of beach activity gear — beach toys for families, portable Bluetooth speakers, cornhole and lawn games for groups, and snorkeling gear for the reef areas near Fort De Soto. These are the details that make a beach day feel like an event rather than just an afternoon.
The traditional approach to renting beach gear in Tampa Bay involves finding each vendor separately, navigating multiple booking systems, and hoping everything shows up at the right time. Nably is built to replace that. One platform, local hosts across St. Pete, Clearwater, and Tampa Bay, everything from beach chairs to kayaks to luxury picnic setups — all bookable in one place. Anything you need, everywhere you go. Browse and book at nably.co.
