We're finally going to the beach in two weeks with my family and I'm getting all my gear ready! Our family is not a big beach vacationer, so I am clueless. I would like to have lots of shade so has any one have any tips on beach umbrellas?

I saw this one but i remember someone saying that some beaches do not allow things like this. Has anyone experienced this before?

Any other suggestions?
