Coleman Weatherproof Sundome Outdoor Shelter

Product Information

The waterproof fabric is rated at UPF 50+, offering a ginormous amount of shade that can house up to six people (or more, uh, depending on how close you all are). It's a lot like the Pacific Breeze beach tent, our top pick overall, but it's cheaper than that brand's extra-large option and this one also includes an extendable floor.

Unlike two towels laid in the sand, due to its height, a beach tent does a great job of blocking the view of anyone behind it. Couples could get away with a two-person beach tent and then there are plenty of baby beach tent options too, which are perfect for keeping your little one in the shade, whilst there is still room for them to play.

Sun Resistance: We’ll cover why sun protection is important to you shortly, but don’t forget why it’s important to the tent. While the canopy is easy to set up, some people have said that it's somewhat difficult to erect when it's windy out—and that it can be pretty wobbly when there is a strong gust of wind.

However, as each tent corner has two eyelets and only one is needed for the pole, we just use the good one. Second, it is large enough to be useful inside while fully closed, allowing for clothing changes, diaper changes, nursing, and the like.This creates a slightly narrower range of viewing angles than is possible in tents with side windows.

Although we’ve never encountered it, even on busy beaches, I can imagine that a beach tent the size of the Coleman DayTripper Beach Shade would not be very welcome in some spots on exceptionally busy days. Second, at each of the four tent corners there is a mesh pocket, useful for storing items like cellphones, snacks, and water bottles.

First, it has a zippered door, which many beach tents do not have, allowing it to be completely closed creating a private environment within.The Neso 1 Sunshade looks a lot like those jelly hands from your youth, except this canopy actually serves a purpose—to protect you from the sun (duh). Setting up the shade is fairly easy, so much so that one person can do all the work with minimal effort. You already know you have to pack your sunscreen, swim trunks, and towels on your next beach outing, but a tent is a whole ‘nother level of investment and we’re here to tell you that they're well worth it. It's on the heavier side thanks to its steel pole, which also makes it more sturdy and stable for those unexpected blasts of wind.

I like that our Coleman Beach Shade is only letting 2% of sunburn-producing UV rays travel through to the inside of the tent. Your job might not be beach, but that shouldn't stop you from heading out to enjoy the sand between your toes. This canopy is crafted from four-way stretch nylon and Lycra and offers bountiful protection from the sun. Not only has it done exactly what’s needed every time, but it has stood up well to the abuses of regular family use. A UV beach tent will provide protection from direct sunlight so is ideal if you are at the beach with kids.They are ideal as they are quick to put up, provide shelter from the sun and can double up as a baby changing space, a shelter from the wind and rain and a spot to have your picnic. All it really takes is snapping some poles together, filling the sand bag to provide weight, and connecting everything together. We provide expert insights and detailed guides to help you find products tailored to your needs and budget. The flexibility of the Sun Ninja's material, a water-resistant spandex, keeps it stable against the wind, while offering all of the UPF 50+ sun protection you need.
