A beach sun shade provides shade from the hot sun when you are lounging on the seaside. If you get too much sun, it can burn your skin red and cause skin disease. Overexposure to the sun can even cause skin cancer. Wearing sunglasses and applying SPF sun lotion is not enough to protect yourself from the sun.
You need to be under the good shade all the time when the day is hot and sunny. On some beaches, there are only a few palm trees to get shade. This is the reason why you should equip yourself with a Beach sun shade when you want to go picnic at the beach.
A beach sunshade is easy to set up and will pop open like an umbrella. You don’t need to use any stake to support the tent. Sandbags are sufficient to hold the tent to the ground. Some do come with a few folding aluminum poles that provide extra support for the tent.
A tent with a sand anchor prevents you from having to deal with the problem of it getting blown away by the wind. It works far better than the beach umbrella. The umbrella can easily be blown away by the wind even if you try to hold it down with a sand anchor.
The sand anchor is actually a sandbag that you have to fill with sand to the brim. Before filling the bag, make sure you have already stretched it out and placed it in the right position. Once the bag is filled, you must pull the drawstring tight and bury it in the sand.
One advantage of the beach sunshade is that it is lightweight and easy to carry around. They are much lighter than the camping tent. They usually come with a carrying bag. When you don’t want to use it, you simply fold and roll it. The surface of the material is nonstick so the sand will not stick to it when you roll it up for storage. If it doesn’t have a carrying bag, you can put it in your own drawstring bag or suitcase.
It can get hot when you are in a tent, especially in the afternoon. For this reason, it is best to get a beach tent that has no cover on the sides. This allows the wind to blow right through the tent from all sides. You will be able to feel the cool breeze while enjoying the tranquil scenery of the ocean.
Some beach tents look like a camping tents with a plastic sheet underneath. There are also umbrella-style shelters that can stretch over a wide area. There are small and large size tents available. The small version is suitable for 1 – 2 people. The medium version is for 3 – 4 people. The larger version is more economical as it can accommodate up to 7 people. The larger version is enough to provide shade for a couple of chairs, an ice chest, and other stuff that you bring along to the beach.
