The 10 Best Beach Tent Buyers Guide For 2022-2023

Things To Consider Before Buying Beach Tent:

Since the beach tent will be the only thing between you and nature, similar to primitive times, you have to choose it quite carefully. So, here are few factors you should keep in mind while buying a beach tent.

The Type:

All of them may look or sound similar but you will be surprised to know that there are four kinds of beach tents.The first is the Canopy Beach Tent. If you are looking for a tent for a beach party, these are the ones you need. They are more spacious than others and have a really simple design.

Apparently, they just provide a basic shelter or shade and accommodate lots of people under it.The second one is the Baby Beach Tent. In fact, this is the exact opposite of cabana tents. These are the smallest in size and are made from high-quality materials that provide comfortable napping space for babies.

So, you can just keep your little angel protected from the weather and all other adversities in this sweet little tent.Third, comes the Cabana Tent. If you are planning to just hang out with your family then this is the tent you need. In fact, it is spacious enough to shelter a family and contains enough pockets for accommodating all the necessities.

Moreover, it provides its habitats with the best and wide view of the beach, all the time protecting you from the sun and everything else.Lastly, we have the pop-up tents. As the name suggests, it has nothing to do with space but set-up.

If you are impatient about getting done with all the set-up which everyone usually is, this is the tent for you. You do not have to do much manually except pop the tent up like an umbrella and just a few other measures to keep it from flying away.

The Construction Material:

Before you buy the type of tent you want, make sure you buy one of high-quality. You definitely do not want the tent to tear up due to the wind. Usually, beach tents are made of polyurethane but if any other material seems durable, go for it.

Apart from that, poles are what keeps the tent in shape. As you do not want the tent to fall on your face while you are inside it, make sure the pole is sturdy and of high-quality. It should have the perfect sufficient capability without breaking and should be sturdy as well. Generally, fibreglass poles are the best kind.

Stakes and Sand Pouches:

You never know when there will be a gust of wind to carry your tent away over your head. However, the perfect tent should not consider windy situations an issue. When you buy one, make sure that it has enough stakes to which you can attach it to the ground. Moreover, it should also come with a sand pouch so that you can put enough weight on the tent to keep it in place. You can also choose a tent with sand pouches that are easy to clean after usage.

Water-repellant:

The tent should definitely keep everything dry. You neither want your accessories to get wet nor do you want yourself to get wet inside the tent. So, it should have a shade that can keep rainwater out and also a floor mat that keeps the sea water out. Because seawater is sneaky enough to sneak into your tent from time to time.

​Space:

You definitely do not want half of your or someone else’s body outside the tent, under the sun. So, choose a tent that fits the number of people you plan to fit. In fact, choose a bigger one. Moreover, you should also consider the floor mat. It should not only be spacious enough but should also be waterproof.

​Ventilation:

You do not want to suffocate inside your tent to be protected from the sun. Therefore, look for a tent that has windows or other mechanisms to keep the inside ventilated.

​Pockets:

One of the reasons for buying a tent is to keep your things in place. Therefore, check the number of pockets the tent offers and calculate if it’s enough for your accessories.

​Privacy:

You might want to change or take a nap or even leave your accessories inside your tent for a while. Apparently, a door will give you the privacy. But, not all tents come with a zip-able door. Therefore, do not buy a door-less one if you need the privacy.

Beach is a fun place to be and it will be unpleasant to get sick for spending time in it. The reason for discomfort and sickness is generally the intense sunlight and its heat. Apparently, a beach tent not only protects you from the sun but the overall weather and gives you the privacy and space you need. In order to buy the beach tent from the myriads available, you have to be very careful while buying one. And, our best beach tent 2019 reviews should help you get familiar with the qualities that you may need. So, turn up your spider-senses, choose and buy.

Types of Beach Tents:

Beaches may be a lot of fun, but not when you are exposed to those burning sun’s rays and heat. This is where tents come along, to provide you the coolness and shade while you enjoy the sun at the same time. While tents can be heavy and made of materials that might make you feel even stuffy once inside, beach tents, on the other hand, are made in such a way that they are light and easy to set up. There are different kinds of beach tents, ranging from a canopy, to cabana, to pop up tents and so on. If you’re confused about which one you should go for, then simply read on to know more.

Beach Umbrellas​:

Beach umbrellas are the perfect solution for individuals or for occasional use. Since they’re smaller, they are also easier to carry and also cost the least when it comes to beach tents or shades. Tents, on the other hand, offer more shade compared to an umbrella and are the perfect for families with little children as they provide maximum protection from the sun or rain and also allows enough privacy.

Canopies Tents:

Canopies tents are usually very large and can accommodate more people. They also take up a lot of floor space and are ideal for beach parties or barbecues. Besides that, they are also comparatively a lot taller than tents, which means that besides sitting, you can also stand comfortably in the shade. It is also possible to fit in other fixtures in some of them, such as camping chairs and the like.

Cabana Beach Tents​:

Cabana Beach Tents are also a favorite among families since they are very spacious, have plenty of pockets. These tents also protect the entire family from the harmful rays of the sun since they’re installed with an additional anti-UV ray protection system.

Pop up Tents:

Pop up tents are the easiest to set up, given that all you need to do is take them out of the package or bag and let the tents unfurl on their own. With a little adjusting and clicking of locks, you can easily have a tent ready in under minutes. With a super flexible frame and stability poles, it is possible to carry such a huge pop-up tent in a very small tent bag when traveling. This is ideal for those of us who can’t be bothered to set up a tent every single time or drag a heavy tent all the way.

Baby Beach Tents​:

Babies have the most sensitive skin, and exposing them to the sun’s harmful rays can cause a lot of damage. For this reason, there are Baby beach tents which are specifically made for babies.

Other than that, toddlers can use these as toys for playing.

Hopefully, after reading the article, you won’t have a problem deciding which tent will be more suitable for your needs.

The Benefits Of Pop Up Beach Tents:

Beach tents have become quite popular nowadays and they can be seen on almost every beach. More and more beach tents have been popping up in these scenic beaches, especially during the summer when the beaches are crowded with people looking forward to enjoying their vacations.

These beaches can cater to the beachgoers in many ways and they can be very beneficial for them. People, in general, are quite skeptical when they hear the word tent. They often tend to think of traditional tents which can be quite difficult and time-consuming to set up.

Moreover, they are often difficult to carry around the beach. An alternative to tents can be beach umbrellas, which do not require to be set up with difficulty. However, on a windy day, a strong gust of wind can very easily uproot beach umbrellas, blowing them away. It can be quite embarrassing in crowded places as most people would not want to chase after an umbrella.

In order to avoid such incidences, beachgoers could dig deeper holes to place the beach umbrellas, but it can often time be very frustrating as it’s difficult to get the umbrella to remain fixed upright or at a certain angle.In situations like these, a tent can be very useful.

Despite it being a bit difficult to set up, there is absolutely zero chance of a tent being blown away by a gust of strong wind and unlike umbrellas, they remain stationary in one place after being set up.

The awkwardness of utilizing a beach umbrella can be entirely forgone by switching to a tent. The tent serves the same purpose as an over-sized umbrella, minus the obvious drawbacks that come with handling a beach umbrella.

​How a Pop Up Beach Tent wins over An Umbrella:

The primary purpose of a beach umbrella is to provide shade to the beachgoers. It can be quite hot being out for too long in the open sands of beaches, and some kind of shade is obviously very important. Other than that, people at beaches often carry different sorts of cold beverages and sandwiches which require a cool shade to be kept properly.

Electronic gadgets such as smartphones and tablets can also be kept safely under the shade, which can sometimes malfunction in extreme heat.
