A device for retaining a beach towel or the like in place, especially on the sand of a beach. The device includes a receptacle having an open portion for receiving sand or the like therein. The sand applies a substantially downward force thereon, thereby weighing the device down and retaining it in place. A stem depending portion of the device extends downwardly from the receptacle and is received in the sand further retaining the device in place. A lid removably engages the receptacle over the open portion thereof with, preferably, a "snap-action", thereby retaining hte sand therein. Means is provided for removably securing the towel to the device, thereby retaining the towel in place. In one embodiment, this means is provided by the removable engagement between the lid and the receptacle, such that when a portion of the beach towel is disposed therebetween, this engagement concomitantly engages that portion of the towel retaining the towel in place. In a second embodiment, this means is provided by an aperture formed in the lid for receiving the towel therethrough, and a resilient spring clip that is carried by the lid within the receptacle which grips and retains the towel in place. Another embodiment is a beach accessory for receiving small articles. The lid is further designed for receiving beverage containers.
