Tent Camping on the Beach?




Luo


Has anyone ever camped on the beach?
I am considering taking the kids up to Lake Erie to camp on the beach there.
I don't have a "special" beach tent. I want to use my smaller nylon dome tent.
Will I have trouble with this?



Answer
Do not need any "special tent". We are using a 2 man pop up camping tent(link below) and it work well for beach camping.Wind can and will be a problem. We actuall had one of those canopies get away from us in some high winds at the beach , but that was just a daytime setup. I imagine the wind gets pretty rough there, unless you can get back and out of it somehow. if there{s a lot of night wind the tarps can get pretty noisy. Try to find a sheltered are if there is any. But beach camping is great fun and pretty comfortable. You might need to empty the tent and shake out excess sand every day or two though. Night time may not be so bad though.

Going to the beach this summer, and need a "shelter" for shade?

I have looked online at many umbrellas, but they only seem to shade two adults at the most, plus you have to buy an anchor...this leads you close to, or even over a hundred dollars for a quality umbrella. I have looked at many canopies also that are well over $100 plus, and some with bad reviews.

I found two options that may work, but there is a huge price difference, and no reviews at all whatsoever to help in choosing.

Option one:

Option two:

Which would you choose and take a chance on without any feedback before purchasing? Or do you have another shelter option or idea that is cheaper?



Answer
You may want to check to see if the beach you are visiting allows anything larger than an umbrella? At Daytona Beach, you can rent umbrellas so you don't need to buy one or install it, they do it for you. Visit tripadvisor.com a free site that has info for any area you may plan to visit from people who have first hand experience there. Have fun.
