Top review: "Great product for the cost, easy to pop open and put away (once you have done it once anyway) used in the park on a sunny but cold day and the beach for our mini heatwave, my 3 month old fell asleep peacefully in the shade, I didn’t have to worry about covering her. The Glymnis Pop Up Beach Tent is a great choice for beach lovers looking for a portable, protective shelter with versatile features. Beach tents offer numerous benefits such as shielding users from harmful ultraviolet rays, providing a designated space for your belongings and reducing the risk of overheating on scorchingly hot days. Additionally,our beach tent has a camping lamp hook,you can also hang the mini fan on it,which is convenient for camping at night.

Top review: "All four side panels can be removed to create a nice, very spacious gazebo with plenty of room for a table and four chairs, or you can just undo one of more of the 'windows' to let air in and keep insects out. You can put it up in a couple of minutes and the fact it’s open means the fresh air blows through keeping you all cool. I did need to roll it up and shove in a carrier bag when the beach was rather breezy as it billowed out, as no way could I get it folded properly by myself to fit back into its bag, but it squished down easily and I found it fine to sort out myself when needed. You can put it up in three different styles giving you three different shade options, and it’s totally possible to put it up alone.

Why we love it: It’s the zippered front part that’s the USP of this spacious tent – great if you need a bit of privacy for changing or breastfeeding, or if someone wants to have a nap. The zipper door with an extended porch was a great feature, allowing us to transform the tent into a private changing area when needed. Additional features such as storage pockets, sand pockets, and guy lines for added convenience and stability. Although it wasn’t the lightest beach tent available, the WOVOKA Beach Tent was easy to transport with its carrying case, making it a practical choice for beach trips. If you’re going to be spending the day by the sea you need something to protect you from the sun’s UV rays.

Why we love it: This is an incredibly lightweight tent with full 360-degree ventilation and UV protection. I love the beach but my other half does not – but he feels comfortable for hours under this without the closed-in feeling of a tent.Mumsnetters say it is a tricky one to assemble - especially if it’s windy and you’re juggling kids and a picnic - so it’s a good idea to do a trial run at home before you head out to the beach.

The UV 50+ sun protection provided by the eco-friendly silver coated fabric ensures that we could enjoy our beach day without worrying about too much sun. This great lightweight SPF50+ tent is available in a rainbow of colours, it’s easy to put up and has a unique anchor system – fill up the sandbags (or use rocks) prop the tent up with the poles and you’re all set.

We did, however, struggle with the tent pegs – they seemed weak and not strong enough to keep it securely anchored. The setup was quick and straightforward, even for those who are not overly experienced with assembling tents. Attachment 4 sand bags and 4 extra sand bags tied with cords, plus 6 tent pegs, offers strong protection, no worries about the wind.
