Its what I have used to prevent my two LOs from getting too much sun. It's pretty cool since u can easily convert from a tent to an umbrella </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-beach-umbrellas#post-1783236 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 20:10:32 +0000 NCSUchick27 1783236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The beach we are going to in a few weeks only allows circular beach umbrellas, and they can't be bigger than 7' 6" in diameter. I would definitely check to see what the beach you are going to allows before you purchase anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-beach-umbrellas#post-1783209 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 19:15:12 +0000 autumnlove 1783209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband didn't want anything to do with a tent so we went with some Tommy Bahama umbrellas from Costco. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-beach-umbrellas#post-1783206 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 19:11:23 +0000 Tanjowen 1783206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard of a beach not allowing a tent of any kind, but perhaps check the website? A lot of times they post their list of do's and don'ts on there for visitors.</p> <p>Also, this is a bit more pricey and takes up more trunk space, but we have used this for several years: <a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trail-Instant-10-x-10-Straight-Leg-Canopy-Gazebo/22301932" rel="nofollow">http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trail-Instant-10-x-10-Straight-Leg-Canopy-Gazebo/22301932</a>. We set it up for the day and it covers a lot of space and hang sheets to keep out wind and sun if needed. Have fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-beach-umbrellas#post-1783017 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 14:10:19 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1783017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@misolee: we don't have a beach umbrella, but we have a beach tent that we love - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lightspeed-Outdoors-26795-BV-Quick-Cabana/dp/B005LGV2PA/ref=sr_1_3?s=sporting-goods&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1406401747&#038;sr=1-3&#038;keywords=beach+tent" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Lightspeed-Outdoors-26795-BV-Quick-Cabana/dp/B005LGV2PA/ref=sr_1_3?s=sporting-goods&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1406401747&#038;sr=1-3&#038;keywords=beach+tent</a> - it's really easy to set up, and I think it provides more shade than a beach umbrella. I do see a lot of people using beach umbrellas at our beaches too though, so at least in Socal, they're allowed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-beach-umbrellas#post-1782912 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 11:20:08 +0000 misolee 1782912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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?</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002CLQ1Q2/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&#038;colid=285ALXLF7LYHJ&#038;coliid=I1IHI3WPM0D9Q2&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002CLQ1Q2/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&#038;colid=285ALXLF7LYHJ&#038;coliid=I1IHI3WPM0D9Q2&#038;psc=1</a><br /> I saw this one but i remember someone saying that some beaches do not allow things like this. Has anyone experienced this before?</p> <p> Any other suggestions? </p>
