Question on Beach Tent/Shelter?

Woon

Hi, I am thinking of getting a beach tent for a day on the beach. Let me tell you what I need and then proceed with the question.

I want something that has a high sun protection rating and portable. They should be easy to setup and and can fit two adults. Preferably can shade the entire body when the adults lie down.

It is only for my wife and I to be sheltered for a couple of hours, we are not going to spend the night at the beach or anything.

I looked online and many of the models promises very easy setups. However, they looked light and flimsy.

Does beach tents get blown away easily? must I use tent pegs to anchor it down? If yes, how could that be easy to setup?

They are some models that have 'pockets' at the side and I am suppose to scoop sand and the weigh it down. Does this actually work? I know sand can heavy but the beach tent's shape acts like a 'catchment' for strong wind...

can someone share. I know this sound like a stupid question. But I grow up in a place without nice beaches so this is new to me.

You may want look up "Beach Cabana" on google. Here: http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&safe=off&q=beach%20cabana&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wf

They are usually light since they expect people to be carrying beach chairs, towels, and coolers. Sitting in the shade will be 100% sun protection, but you still have to watch out for the rays reflecting off the sand. The only way to avoid that is to zip a tent shut and bake inside of it. If it provides shade, you`ll be good.

Yes it`ll blow away if its not weighed down one way or another. Its essentially a kite if you think about it or even a parachute. If you`re laying in it obviously it wont blow away but if you throw a small cooler in the back there shouldnt be any problems. the ones with the "sand pockets" are better than just the regular pegs. The pegs wont hold in the sand.
