Guide to Buying Beach Tents
Beach tents are lightweight shelters designed to provide shade, wind protection, and a comfortable space for long days by the coast. Whether you are visiting the beach with family, planning a picnic, or spending hours near the sea, a beach tent helps protect you from direct sun, breezes, and blowing sand.
A good beach tent should be quick to set up, easy to carry, and protective without feeling enclosed. Choosing the right design makes beach days more comfortable and relaxed, especially in strong sun or changeable coastal conditions.

Nothing beats a day at the beach when the sun is shining. Sun safety is super important, and we’ve got you covered with our range of pop up beach tents and sun shelters. It’s easy for a fun day to get ruined by too much sunshine or a windy breeze. Our pop-up beach shelters and wind breakers have been expertly crafted with an SPF50 coating to protect your little ones and give them a safe space to nap in the shade. So you can relax on your folding chair with the peace of mind that your kids are protected. When you're not at the beach, our beach tents double up as a great play den for the garden.
Beach tents are available in several styles, each suited to different beach conditions and trip lengths.
- Pop-up beach tents: Designed for fast setup, pop-up tents open in seconds and are lightweight to carry. They are ideal for short beach visits or casual use where speed and convenience matter most.
- Pole-supported beach tents: These tents use flexible poles to create a more structured shelter. They offer improved stability in wind and more internal space, making them suitable for longer stays on breezier beaches.
- Open-front sun shelters: Open-front designs focus on airflow and ventilation. They provide excellent shade while keeping the interior cool and airy, making them ideal for hot and sunny beach days.
Each type balances speed, stability, and space differently, allowing you to choose what best suits your beach routine.
Certain features improve the practicality and comfort of beach tents.
- UPF-rated fabric for reliable sun protection.
- Sand pockets or pegs for improved stability.
- Mesh panels or windows to enhance airflow.
- Open-front design for easy access.
- Lightweight construction for easy carrying.
- Compact carry bag for transport.
Some models also include zip-close doors to provide extra privacy when changing.
Different beach activities benefit from different tent features.
- Sunny beach days: Choose tents with UPF 50+ fabric and open fronts to maximise shade and airflow.
- Family beach outings: Larger tents with floor panels provide space, comfort, and a shaded rest area for children.
- Windy beaches: Pole-supported tents with sand anchors offer better stability in breezy conditions.
- Short beach visits: Pop-up beach tents are ideal when you want quick shade without a long setup.
Choosing a tent based on how you plan to use it helps ensure comfort and practicality throughout the day.

What is a UV sun tent?
- The beach is calling. If you’re planning on spending hours in the sun, UV protection is a must. Our UV tents are pop up beach tents (also known as beach windbreakers) that offer protection from the rays. Most of our beach tents offer UPF protection of 50, so you can laze on the beach and enjoy an afternoon nap without any worry. Our UV tents are great if you have little ones - your kids can roam in and out of the water with a safe place to relax when they need shelter from the sun. Of course, you still need to apply your sunscreen, but our UV tents offer protection from direct sunlight.

Can beach tents be used for privacy while changing clothes?
- Beach tents can provide useful privacy, particularly designs with deeper sides or zip-close doors. They create a sheltered space for changing without leaving the beach area. This is helpful on busy beaches or family outings.
-
Are pop-up beach tents easy to set up and pack down?
- Pop-up beach tents are designed to open quickly, often within seconds. Packing them away takes a little practice but becomes straightforward with use. They are ideal for quick beach trips where convenience is important.
