A day at the beach or an afternoon at the river, creating a safe-from-the-sun haven with an umbrella is essential. A big colorful beach umbrella provides a base for your family activity and also a visual reminder of just where you left your sandals.

Won’t blow away

Because it’s so big, it comes with a large bag made comfortable to carry with a padded strap and handle. beachBUB

This uniquely crafted umbrella system is tested to withstand winds up to 35 miles per hour. The base is what makes this beach umbrella special. You don’t have to screw in the center and tie down the sides with this umbrella. Instead, you make a little hole with the included sand gopher, put the bottom of the pole at the base and attach two of the wings, cover with a little sand and connect the third wing, then cover with a pile of firm sand. It’s so easy and no heavy twisting. Then just make sure the sides are stretched out for maximum protection.

Built for days at the beach, every part of this umbrella is designed to keep you out of the sun and wind. This beach umbrella looks the part. The heavy blue and green oxford design with yellow accents makes a great base for your beach day. Just fold out the handles and turn the big anchor into the sand to keep your beach umbrella secure. It’s easy to tilt this over seven-foot umbrella throughout the day. If it gets breezy, there’s a vent on the top to let some of the air pass through, so it’s not all pushing at your shelter.
