We are longtime fans of the Frankford, the go-to umbrella for shade-loving beachgoers on all the coasts. Marine-grade fabric, steel, and wood | 94-inch open height, non-tilt | Sand anchor sold separately For beach tents, we considered those that anchor using sand bags as well as more traditional stakes. Some umbrellas have built-in sand anchors, while others require an additional purchase. The best way to dig a pole into the sand is with the use of a sand anchor, a spiral-shaped shaft that allows you to drill the umbrella further down than its pole would otherwise allow. We also considered how each of our umbrellas anchored into the sand, with the aim of identifying those that will stay up all day, even in windy conditions. We also included a couple of expert recommendations for more tentlike beach shelters for the truly sun-averse beachgoers out there.Īnchor: A solidly constructed canopy is only one aspect of a good beach umbrella. Shade coverage: We looked for umbrellas with a range of shade coverage, from traditional circular canopies to umbrellas with adjustable hinges to tilt toward the sun to umbrellas that lie at a 45-degree angle and include flaps to create a mini-cabana effect. For poles and frames, we sought out durable materials like fiberglass and wood over plastic.
For canopies, we’re looking for marine-grade fabric that won’t rip, rag, or stretch after a summer’s worth of salt and sand and is thick enough to block out harmful UV rays as you shelter between swims. Materials: The best beach umbrellas are made with materials that last - all day, during all kinds of conditions, and ideally over the course of multiple seasons.
