Best Overall Beach TentWe put the Oileus 4-Person Beach Tent Sun Shelter at the top of our list because of its portability and how easy it is to set up on the beach. It's impressively lightweight and folded down into a very compact size and shape that could easily be thrown into a large beach bag.
To secure a beach tent, you'll need to tie guy lines to sand bags, dig deep to drive corkscrew-style sand anchors into damp sand, or bury a deadman anchor several feet below the sand's surface. Many models will come with the materials needed to employ one of these anchoring systems.
