Beach Tents & Shade

Beach Shade Tents & Beach Shade

There is an art to the perfect Australian beach day. It involves timing the tides, finding a park before the crowds, and securing prime real estate on the sand. But even the best spot can turn into a cooker when the midday sun hits.

At OZtrail, we believe that you should be able to enjoy the coast all day long without getting roasted. Our beach tents, cabanas and umbrellas give you instant relief from the glare, so you can read, nap or watch the waves in cool comfort.

Beach Tents for Family Beach Days

When you're setting up for the whole day, you want shade the whole family can actually fit under. The Palm Club Beach Tent gives you a 180 x 180 x 180 cm shaded space under a UV50+ rated 200g poly cotton canopy, so the kids, the towels and the cooler all stay out of the sun. Choose from Palm Cove Green, Cable Beach Pink, Bells Beach Blue or Almonta Beach Sand.

Pitch the beach tent as an A-frame for full overhead cover, or as an L-frame when you want one side open to the breeze and the view. The canopy is reversible too, so you can show off a block colour or a pattern. At 4 kg, it packs into the included carry bag (99 x 15 x 15 cm) for an easy walk from the car park to the sand.

This means your shelter stays put even when the afternoon southerly kicks in. The UV-protective fabric acts as a shield against harsh rays, while the open-front design ensures you catch the cooling sea breeze while staying out of the direct sun. It is the perfect balance of protection and airflow, giving you a private cabana experience without the hassle.

Beach Cabanas and Umbrellas for Open Shade

Not every beach day needs walls. If you'd rather keep the breeze and the view on every side, a cabana or umbrella gives you overhead shade without closing in your spot.

The Palm Club Beach Cabana, in Palm Cove Green or Almonta Beach Beige, throws generous shade under a UV50+ 200gsm poly-cotton canopy. A steel centre pole and fibreglass frame keep it stable, a built-in sand screw anchors it, and the pop-and-pin design gets it up in minutes.

For a lighter setup, our beach umbrella, in Palm Cove Green or Almonta Beach Beige, has a 190cm UPF50+ canopy that tilts, so you can follow the sun through the afternoon.

Built for the Coast 

Salt, sand and sun are tough on gear, which is why our beach shade is built around a 200gsm poly-cotton canopy rated for UV50+ protection. Spot clean it and store it dry after a day at the beach, and it's ready for the next one

We also know the best beach gear is the gear that actually gets used, so the beach tent and umbrella pack into carry bags that sling over your shoulder, leaving your hands free for the cooler and the boogie boards.
