What’s y’all go-to tent for shade at the beach?

I know it's expensive compared to others ($250 now, $200 when I bought it), but I have had a Shibumi now for 3 years and one of my better investments.

Takes just a few minutes to put up and keeps my pasty white self protected when the boss (aka wife) wants to be on the beach all day. Also, comes with a great little carrying kit.

These are very popular on the Carolina coast. I don’t own one yet but I will. They literally take less than a minute to set up. The ocean wind always keeps it flying. I’ve never seen one lay flat or take off. You can accommodate a lot of people under one.

Saw one of these at work in Orange Beach, they look awesome, and it held up very well for the three days I saw that group

so what if there's no wind?

At the beach there is always wind. It doesn’t take much.

Cool cabana… hands down best I’ve had. I can put it up by myself in under 5 min. Only has one center stake and the corners/legs are held down by sand. Has survived 6-7 years, not one rip, never blown away

This. It's so easy to carry around as well.
OP, I hope you are considering a place that has a pool with shade to hang around when not on the beach. That's a rough age to keep happy out on the sand.

There has to be a knock off for less than $250, right? Its a single pole and sheet.

X1000. They are fantastic and while umbrellas and easy ups are blowing down the beach our Cool Cabana stays put.

I am in NC and have to echo the Shibumi. They are everywhere here.
I haven’t seen a knockoff for sale, but my husband (an engineer) and my friend (a seamstress) made 4 of them for our friend group. It still cost like $100 each because that parachute fabric isn’t cheap. It’s also not easy to sew because it’s so slippery. They were about ready to spend the $250 by the time they were done.

Another vote for Shibumi. They make a slightly smaller one for 190 That provides shade for 3 people and gear. I live at the beach and use it 3 times a week. Very well made with marine grade stainless connectors and snaps. One of my best investments ever.

Thanks everyone! Time to do a little research.
We’ll be at the Phoenix Orange Beach II. So there’s a lazy river and indoor pool too. I imagine my wife and my buddy’s wife will enjoy the pool more and so will the kids, but I’ve gotta be on the beach at least one day just pounding some beers. Pointless to drive all the way there and stay at the pool all day IMO

I've seen these in OB. I'd like the Great Value version rather than paying $250

Uline or Eurmax are the most durable tents.

We like our Neso Grande but now just use beach umbrellas
