We will be visiting Miami Beach in June and I was wondering what the cost is of actually renting the beach chairs and umbrellas on the beach? And how about those big beach tents (as we will be traveling with an infant)? I assume they can't be cheap and was wondering if maybe it is cheaper just to buy some cheap chairs / umbrellas there at WalMart or somewhere? It is a shame our rental does not provide beach chairs and umbrellas - just towels. Your hotel may offer beach chairs and umbrellas as part of their seaside service apart from the rental unit you occupy ( a tip is customary for the attendant who sets you up for the day) or you may work with an independent contractor to rent chairs, pads and umbrellas on your own. This service is provided all over Miami Beach by Boucher Brothers. There is no Walmart directly on Miami Beach, but you may find umbrellas and chairs for sale at small shops, Walgreens or CVS pharmacy stores. If chair rental starts at $10 per day, buying your own chairs may be a better option.

The typical rate for chairs is $10 (no half day rentals :( ) and an umbrella is $15. If you buy an umbrella, you may think of a fairly good one as the super thin cheap ones break fairly easily. A lot of the hotels have you pay a Resort Fee which will include beach services. Depending on where you stay, these may range anywhere from $15 to $35 a night on top of your room rate. Instead, you can go to Walgreens and buy an umbrella for about $20 and use it the entire stay and then throw it away if you can't take it home with you. Last week it was $20 per lounge chair and $15 for an umbrella.
A big lounge bed was $65. I do no remember the price of the halfmoon cabanas. Had them till 5pm each day. Not sure if prices or times differ per time of year. Can you tell me which place had the lounge bed for $65? We paid $40 for two beach chairs yesterday at Boucher Brothers on 13th Street, Miami Beach. I tipped $5 to the guy who set up the chair. The girl who collected the money was a jerk.Until last year they used to charge $10/chair (and $15/umbrella). After reading your post I walked over to the beach between 5 and 15 Street and asked the Boucher Bros attendant about prices. They confirmed the $20/chair price now (umbrella is still $15). This makes the option of buying a chair/umbrella from CVS/Walgreens/Walmart that much more attractive. Prices are different south of fifth street (and north of 15 Street).

We ordered a cabana from Boucher Bros. When we arrived, it had a “Happy Birthday” sign and our towels were in the shape of a heart. I was so thrilled to learn that the guests of The Gates Hotel in South Beach received complimentary beach chairs and towels from Boucher Brothers.
Emanuel set up my towel for me and checked back on me regularly. He even went so far as to go get me a spoon when I realized I had forgotten mine. Went to the beach with bae recently, but we couldn't find a beach umbrella to bring with. We decided to post up in one of the Boucher Brothers cabanas. Lance came over and was super nice and friendly. I went to the shack, where they have sandwiches and snacks and drinks. There is where I met Giselle, a real sweetheart.... Justin was absolutely great! Very attentive when checking on all beach goers and very happy, got chatting to him for a while and he told me loads of cool info about south beach and Miami, as this was my first time in Miami I found all the info very useful, he was very pleasant and a gentleman! Mckevin and Josh were great. Very friendly and kind. Highly recommend Boucher brothers for chair and umbrella rental. The beach attendant on 9th street took great care of me and my husk and this after noon I wish I could of tipped him but he politely declined so I'm doing him this favor hopefully he gets a raise or something!!
Everyone was helpful and continuously checking up. Recommended to anyone traveling or visiting the area needing beach accommodations. I had the most relaxing Beach day ever Manny and Stacey were great Manny gave me a great spot in the front and even gave me some extra towels I most definitely will be coming back soon Leeanne was our point person for organizing our rental. She was great as was the whole team. The YAMAHA skis were like new and ran like a champ, around 55mph. We took the 1 hour tour down the coast, thru Government cut around Fisher Island. It lasted an hour and 15 minutes, the ocean had 3 to 5 footers and... Justin and Audi were very helpful, they checked on us frequently with big smiles, always making sure we were comfortable. They made our stay at Miami Beach awesome! Thank you Justin and Audi!

“I stayed at the Betsy Hotel, which has an agreement with the Boucher Brothers, so ended up not having to pay for the chairs and umbrella.” “We were at the 7th street location and the staff could not have been more helpful or friendly!” "These guys were awesome! My husband and I called them, asking how much a rental would be for 2 people. It was $40 with no other extra charges.

Tours like these depend on the personality of the guide, and we sure lucked out on this one. The tour was loud, and fast, and real. Yelp users haven’t asked any questions yet about Boucher Brothers.
