    Spend more time on the beach and out of the sun's harmful rays with beach tarps from Canopies and Tarps.

    Nothing can ruin a trip to the beach like overexposure to the sun. Even beach bums who seemingly live every moment of their lives by the waves know when to get out of the sun. Too much sun can lead to harmful, painful sun burns or worse.

    That's why if you're planning a trip to the beach, you'll want to take a pop-up beach tent along.

    Made for Making Shade

    Our beach tents feature strong frames and canopies that are 100% UV-resistant:

    • The frames are durable, rugged and made to last season after season. Because of the extra salt, ocean air can be corrosive, but our beach tents feature frames made with durable hardware that will stand up to wind, rain as well as salty ocean air.
    • The canopies and canvases are also rated for beach use by offering waterproof protection that blocks the sun's harmful UV rays. Depending on the material, you'll get outstanding resistance to punctures and tears.

    Portable Shelter

    All our beach shelters are made for easy transport and packing. They are easy to set up and take down and come with all the accessories you'll need for assembly. Pair these beach tents with some of our tent stakes and anchors for even more stability against strong, steady ocean winds.

    But these aren't just for the beach. These beach tents are perfect for any lakeside or riverside adventure. Even a day at the park can be enhanced by one of these beach shades.

    Excellent Variety and Service

    Whether you choose one of our summer beach tents or one of our standard pop-up tents, you'll find the best beach tents at Canopies and Tarps. We have more than 25 years of experience helping our customers find the best canopies and tents for their needs.

    FAQs

    What is a summer beach tent and how is it different from a regular canopy?

    A summer beach tent is a lightweight, portable shelter designed specifically for sandy or outdoor coastal environments, typically featuring UV-protective fabric, sand pockets or stakes for stability, and easy one-person setup. Unlike a standard canopy tent, beach tents are optimized for sun protection, wind resistance, and compact portability so they fit easily in a beach bag or car trunk.

    How do I keep my beach tent from blowing away in the wind?

    Most summer beach tents come with built-in sand pockets or sandbag anchors that you fill with sand to weigh down the base — this is far more effective than stakes alone on loose sand. Look for models with guy-line attachment points for extra stability in gusty conditions, and always angle the tent opening away from the prevailing wind to reduce uplift.

    Do you sell beach tents with full UV sun protection?

    Yes, many of the summer beach tents we carry are rated UPF 50+, which blocks over 98% of harmful UV rays to keep you and your family protected during long days outdoors. If you also need shade coverage for larger groups or events near the water, our pop up canopy tents offer generous overhead coverage and can be a great complement to a beach tent setup.

    Can I use a beach tent for activities other than going to the beach?

    Absolutely — summer beach tents work great for backyard use, camping trips, picnics, outdoor festivals, and sports sidelines anywhere you need quick, portable sun protection. For larger gatherings like birthday parties or family reunions, you might also want to check out our party and event canopies for more spacious shelter options.

    Which size beach tent should I buy for a family of four?

    For a family of four, look for a beach tent with at least a 6-person capacity rating, since beach tents tend to run smaller than their stated capacity when you account for gear, coolers, and comfortable movement. If your family needs more covered space for seating and shade, a compact small instant pop up canopy can be paired with a beach tent to create a full outdoor basecamp setup.
