Anchored by 4 sand augers and 2 sandbags, this open-sided beach canopy spreads 137 sq ft of shade over a 10 ft by 6.5 ft footprint at 6.5 ft tall, enough room for 6 to 8 adults plus chairs, coolers and towels. The 70D nylon canopy is held up by a single aluminum pole, leaving the sides completely open for a 360-degree view and steady cross breeze. Total weight is 5.5 lbs, and everything packs into a 29 in carry bag that fits along the side of a trunk or across a beach cart. A removable storage pocket hangs inside for phones, keys and sunscreen. Pitching is a one-pole job rather than a frame assembly, which suits day trips where the shelter goes up and comes down in the same afternoon.
