Beach Canopy
Beach Sun Shade Ideas & Tips

A beach canopy, tent, cabana or umbrella is a necessary item for any beach vacation and any of them provide beach sun shade.

Unless it stays cloudy and rainy like it did on our last trip to the beach. Fortunately there are lots of options that feature an easy set up like a pop up beach tent and sturdy wind resistant beach umbrellas. 

This piece of essential beach gear comes in many different sizes and styles. Some with umbrella poles that tilt and other beach sun shade options include tents with no bottoms so the kids can play in the sand while being protected from the sun.

Portable Beach Umbrella

A portable beach umbrella with a tilt option provides shade all day as the sun moves.  Screw it into the sand with a sand anchor - some umbrellas come with one and others don't. 

A vent at the top helps to stabilize it on a windy day.  Add an umbrella hook to the pole to hang all your valuables, beach bags, towels or cover ups.

Beach Canopy Tents

Beach canopy tents accommodate a large group of people whether it's  family or a group of friends.

New designs make them easy to set up and take down - but it's usually helpful to have at least two people helping.  Vented tops and staked poles prevent them from blowing away.

An add-on side curtain provides extra protection from wind or sun.

Baby Beach Tent

A baby's skin needs to be protected from harsh sun by some type of beach tent. Sunscreen should not be used on babies so shade is essential to protect them from ultraviolet light and from overheating. Be sure to keep them hydrated as well with regular feedings and water.

It's not uncommon for there to be lots of wind by the ocean. The tent can be used for feedings, nap time or just to play in.
