Beach canopy tents provide more shade for more people. When we first started our family trips to the beach there was just 5 of us. We now have 9 and one on the way.
This means either bringing several large beach umbrellas, two pop up beach tents or a beach canopy tent where everyone can sit together. These beach shade tents comes in several different sizes and styles.
We found that the 10'X10' canopy tent by Coleman gave us the shade and
space we needed. Keep your chairs and coolers protected all day. Roof
vents keep air moving inside the tent so the heat doesn't get trapped.
Two people are best for putting the canopy up and taking it down. A practice set up at home helped to make it easier to put it up the first time at the beach.

It really is quite easy and provided the perfect solution for all day
shade for our family. A handy carrying bag with wheels fits inside most
cars and makes it easy to transport.
Add a "sun wall" to your canopy for extra protection from the heat and ultraviolet light.
It also will protect you from the wind on a windy day or from a sudden rain shower
Loops are provided on the bottom of the shade so you can stake the fabric and keep it from flopping in the wind. Or you can put the elastic loops around the legs of the canopy for stability.
We found it provided some great protection from the harsh summer Florida sun.
Check the guidelines of the beach you are visiting to find out if they have any limitations to the size of your tent.
Some beaches don't allow tents any bigger than 10'x10'.
Caravan beach canopy tents provide 99% UV protection, commercial grade steel frame and the 10' x 10' tent provides 100 square feet of shade to accommodate your group of friends or family.
It's not uncommon to see a beach canopy that's come down due to poor anchoring or from lots of wind.
No matter which beach canopy tent you use, keep the it stabilized in any wind by filling bags with sand and attach them to the tent poles.
Fill the bags with sand, (some people fill up a large plastic bottles with water) zip them up and then as you can see velcro straps secure the bags to the beach canopy tent poles.
Or simply bring several shopping bags and fill them with sand to anchor your tent.
Bring along a beach shovel for filling sand bags.
More lightweight, than traditional beach canopies, this beach sun shade canopy is easy to carry and more portable. It weighs Only 6.5 pounds and includes a 19.5"
shoulder carrying bag that fits in a carry-on suitcase.
Made of a nylon/lycra blend this 9'x9' beach canopy uses rust proof aluminum poles that are 7' feet tall.
Another favorite beach sun shade option is a portable canopy by Red Suricata.
Use it for relaxing in chairs or for kids who want to play in the sand under the UV protection of a tent.
See how portable this canopy is? It fits right inside this small black bag.
Red Suricata offers a FULL HEIGHT CANOPY that includes FOUR TALL POLES increasing the shaded area by 50%! The medium beach tent fits 3-4 adults lying down, and our large beach canopy tent fits 6-7 adults lying down.
We bought the largest canopy option for our family. Get to the beach early in the morning to stake your piece of paradise.
Place the canopy flat on the sand and spread out the 4 sand bags.
Fill the corner bags with sand and sinch them tight.
Use the sand anchors on windy days to help stabilize the tent.
Their “patent pending” poles are colored, foldable, lightweight, and rustproof! Plus, the top of the pole has a robust plastic ball that WON’T rip the fabric.
Check out the different color options:
Providing beach sun shade with portable easy to set up beach canopy tents for your group of friends or family offers some protection from UV light damage to skin, eyes and hair as well as protection from sudden pop up showers so you can enjoy a full day at the beach.
