I've read quite a few comments about the shortage of sunbeds around Tobago and thought I'd found a solution, particularly for people like us who don't stay at resorts.
Unfortunately I can't find any retailers of these wonderful things in the UK, so if anyone's seen them for sale anywhere in the UK please let me know.
Have a look at them here.

They also do a back pack hammock!

Hi Julia
If you go into about us on their site it includes an address and email address for their European office based in France. I guess they can give you a list of UK stockists.

Julia,I have seen these in our local fishing tackle/beach shop,but when I went to find out more they were closed for holidays!!!!So I suggest you look for a similar sort of camping/fishing shop.

Thanks Julia for sending the link. I accessed the site and was very impressed with their products, but I feel you need really to sit in one to see if it would suit your requirements. I have e-mailed the company in Nice to ask for their stockists in the UK somewhere near us in the Milton Keynes area. If I get that info. I will let you know.

Hello Julia
I have not done too much serious research with regard to the chairs but have noticed that one of the range is available on the following website, may well go for a couple as we prefer the quieter beaches on the Atlantic side.

Thanks for all the help. I reckon they should offer me a discount for all the publicity!
Andrew - I can't believe I didn't see that European office! I emailed their US office ages ago but never got a reply.
Dave - I have checked and I couldn't find the range in any of our local shops. You folks down in Cornwall are so much better at this relaxing business!
Jean - I emailed them too before I saw your reply. Got a response too. Put me intouch with

who say they will have the beach chairs available for mail order from UK from 20th March. They tell me I can return them if they don't suit, but like you I'd really like to try before I buy. Still I could get two from them before we go on 31st March.
Paul - Thanks, the ones available from that web site are the higher ones. I think I like the look of the lower ones. Mind you you're closer to the dreaded sandflies then!
Regards to all
Julia
