If you told me a few years ago that I would be excited about a beach tent, I’d have laughed in your face. But now, as I’m more interested in taking care of my skin (meaning no more getting burnt to a crisp), I’m slathering on SPF and hiding under a shelter when I feel my shoulders getting too warm.
When it comes to spending time in the sun, wrangling a beach umbrella just isn’t in the cards for me. That’s where a beach tent comes in. You can create your own oasis in the sand, filled with shaded coolers and as many sand-free towels as possible. And here are the best you can find that are an Amazon Prime shipment away.
