Summer is almost here, and you are probably already itching to get your family or friends gathered up for a beach getaway. But are you beach-ready without a beach tent that will keep you shaded and protected from the sun’s harsh UV rays? 

The last thing you want is to spend more time on the road than at the beach. Here are four of the best beach tents to take along with you on fun days under the sun by the sea this summer 2022. 

We feature a variety of easy-to-set-up sunshade canopies with stable four-base support to withstand strong winds and UPF50+ sun protection fabrics. They’re all lightweight and come with a carry bag, making them convenient to bring on beach days. 

Without further adieu!

This uniquely designed beach tent has four sandbags to be filled at the beach and aluminum poles for an excellent and sturdy windproof stance. You won’t need to bring weighted objects. And if the winds are too strong, all you’ll need to do is fill the sandbags some more and bury them deeper. 

The ACQUA 10x10ft Portable Beach Tent features a combination of Lycra fabric for durability, elasticity, and breathability and high-density Oxford cloth for water resistance and sun protection. Together with its open-air design, the cool summer breeze will flow freely in and out while providing UPF50 + sun coverage. 

It’s spacious enough to fit up to 8 people, making it ideal for large groups to have fun in the sun without the dreaded sunburn!

If you like the sandbag anchor design but want something smaller, this is it. The Suntek beach tent is approximately 7ft x 7ft in size that features four sandbags to hold it in place. It only comes with two aluminum poles but is sturdy enough to withstand winds and showers.  

A unique feature of this beach tent is that you can adjust the size and shape by moving the aluminum poles, depending on the time of day and position of the sun. It will also provide excellent ventilation with SPF 50+ protection. 

It’s an ideal choice for two beach lovers or if you need a compact tent for quick, frequent trips to the beach.
