Review on Gorich UPF 50+ UV Protection Beach Tent Sun Shelter Canopy - Portable 3/4-5/6-7 Person Shade Tent, Lightweight & Easy Setup Cabana Beach Tent by Shawn Jacobs

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pleasantly surprised by this beach tent!

I was looking for a beach tent that was roomy enough for two people, but would pack up small enough to fit in a carry on suitcase. I live in the Midwest so I almost always end up flying when I go to the beach and I didn't want to keep purchasing overpriced umbrellas or canopies to use for a day or two that I then would have no way to get home. I happened across this beach tent and decided to give it a try. It was fairy easy for one person to set up (without even having done a test run beforehand!). I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the three window panels closed with a loop and toggle instead of a zipper, which provided shade, but also allowed for some air flow. As a result, the tent didn't get too hot even with three windows closed. I also found it pretty easy to fold up to get back into the bag (fold the tent into thirds and then roll the tent around the tent poles). I'm not sure how well this tent would hold up with heavy use, but for this pale, landlocked girl who only makes it to the beach a couple times a year, this tent fit the bill perfectly!

Pros
  • The tent offers ample shade for 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 people, depending on the size you choose
Cons
  • The tent is not very good for storage
