Pop up beach tents and sun shelters that go up in seconds and pack down small. Shade, UV protection and a spot to call your own on a busy beach.
This is again my second one, great value for money, comfortable used in all weather’s prior. Plenty of space to move around inside quick and easy to set up 5 minutes max.

Really good quality for a fraction of the price compared to other brands. Brought mine for fishing bait and another for spares which I could leave in the back of the car when fishing. They stack on top of one another which is handy for storage. Feel nice and strong and not in any way heavy.

These chairs are brilliant. I found them to be quite comfortable and very sturdy, the moment you put your weight on them they instantly anchor to the floor. They are nicely packed away in the bag provided and just what you need from a folding chair.

This camping chair is great it’s a massive improvement compared to a standard camping chair. Chair is extremely lightweight and the extra padding makes it nice and comfortable. Definitely worth the extra few quid. Comes with a really good quality carry bag with strap.

An hour into a hot day on the sand, shade becomes the thing everyone wants. A beach shelter gives you somewhere to get out of the sun, put the bags down and keep small children from going pink, without having to pack up and drive home early.
Our pop up beach shelters are the easiest option. They spring into shape in seconds, pack back into a flat round bag and weigh little enough to carry down to the sand with everything else. Open at the front so you keep the view and the breeze, closed behind so you get proper shade and a bit of privacy for changing.
For a longer day or a bigger group, our sun shade gives you more covered ground and stands taller, so you can sit under it rather than crouch. It takes a couple of minutes longer to set up and rewards the effort on a properly hot day.
Whichever you choose, anchor it properly. Standard tent pegs do very little in loose sand, so fill the sand pockets or weigh the corners down with whatever you have. A shelter that lifts in a sea breeze is no use to anyone.
Take a cool bag to keep drinks cold, a windbreak to block the wind along the ground, and camping chairs so you are not sitting on a damp towel all afternoon. If you need somewhere to sleep as well, look at our pop up tents.
People use the terms interchangeably, and most products sit somewhere between the two. A beach shelter is usually open at the front for airflow and view, while a beach tent tends to enclose more for shade and privacy. Both are for daytime use rather than sleeping in.
Shade from a shelter cuts direct sun considerably, which is why they are popular with families. Any UV rating is listed on the product page. Treat a shelter as one part of sun protection rather than all of it, and keep using sun cream underneath it.
Ordinary tent pegs pull straight out of dry sand, so use the sand pockets if the shelter has them and fill them properly. Failing that, weigh the corners with bags, stones or a cool box. Pitching with the closed back facing the wind makes a noticeable difference too.
A pop up beach shelter is comfortable for two adults sitting, or a parent and a couple of small children out of the sun. If you want space for a whole family plus bags and chairs, a larger sun shade gives you far more covered ground. Dimensions are on each product page.
They are built for daytime shade, not overnight camping, so they are lighter and more open than a camping tent and will not keep weather out the same way. If you need somewhere to sleep, a pop up or dome tent is the right choice.
