While generally less invasive than stakes that might snag on roots or rocks, it's still good practice to be mindful of the environment when using sand anchor. Avoid placing them in dune areas that are protected habitats. After use, ensure the anchor is fully removed and no fragments are left behind in the sand. Many sand anchors are made from recyclable plastics, so consider proper disposal or recycling options rather than leaving them as potential litter. Using them responsibly helps minimize any impact on the beautiful beach environment.
