Does anyone know if sun shelters are allowed on Waikiki beaches?

Jessica

I assume the larger sun shelters are prohibited on Waikiki beaches as they strictly prohibit 'tents' to control the homeless. Does anyone know if a baby size cabana would get the boot? Or what is allowed? I'd appreciate answers from people who know rather than speculate. Thanks!
Since 'Smarter Than You' is such an idiot he didn't understand the question, I will clarify for future morons who might take a crack at this. There are small sun shelters for infants on the market, as well as other products that protect infants from the sun. I'm wondering which product would be the best for Waikiki beaches considering the prohibition on tents.

Answer
No. They strictly prohibit tents. Don't get all cutesy and call your tent a "baby sized cabana"

Can I use a pop up tent on Waikiki beach?

Ai_22192

The size of tent is good for 2 adults, basically use only for sun shelter and not the zip up camping kind of tent.
For those who wonder why I ask such a question, it is because we used a pop up tent on Virginia beach only to be told that it is prohibited and have to take are tent down immediately.

Answer
Yeah, no tent allowed at Waikiki, cause block eva body view, and can't stay onna beach ova nite, ok? But you can bring umbrella, or can rent from Beach Boy rental or Star rental rite on Waikiki or Kuhio Beach, they rite close to each otha, so same beach really, ok? Also, lotta good shade from Palm trees, so maybe not even need umbrella, ok?
Peace and aloha to you!

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.

Answer
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.

Bringing baby to the beach for the first time.?

TSM

She'll be 7-8 months and I would like to bring her to the beach with me. Any tips for bringing an infant to the beach? What should I bring to make the trip easier? Other than the obvious things like baby sun screen and a blanket and umbrella? I want her to have a good time and I want to not spend the afternoon feeling frazzled.

Answer
they have them little tents that are mostly screened in that seem pretty convenient to me. the baby can sit in them out of the sun but still see out and feel the sea breeze!

Hey moms, help make my beach trip easier, please!?

Aggie

Hey moms! Going to the beach this August with my daughter who will be 1 yr old. I'm fretting about the 4 hr ride, the sun, the water, the bugs and of course her eating the sand! Do you have any tips to share on how to make our trip to the beach easier? Thanks in advance!
I just wanted to thank everyone for their advice... all great. I wrote down a bunch of tips, went to walmart, and feel better all ready!

Answer
Take plenty of sunscreen, a hat, and some good beach clothes (light, cotton outfits are good). Pack some swimmer nappies (diapers) if you plan on going in the water.

Some beach toys are a good idea, they don't need to be huge or expensive. A small plastic bucket and spade set, some little plastic cups, a ball ... just simple things she can use to play with in the sand.

A good sized beach towel and some changes of clothing are a must! You won't believe how much sand gets everywhere.

A really good tip I learned is to pack a bottle of talcum powder. Sand sticks to skin and your baby will very likely be coated in it if she's anything like my little boy! Rubbing that sand off can be harsh on delicate baby skin and they wiggle and get upset and cry. This is where talcum powder comes in. For whatever reason, talcum powder particles stick to sand particles. Dust talc on the sandy areas and then gently wipe away, the sand comes away with no rubbing or brushing and - most importantly - no tears. I always have talc in my bag now when we go to the beach.

If you're taking your pushchair then have a sunshade for it to shade it when baby goes to sleep or pack a small play tent (you can get special UV-safe ones) that she can play in or sleep in.

Don't worry about her eating sand, some kids do. My son was eating double handfuls of the stuff on purpose and then accidentally ate more when he face-planted into it. It passes through with no ill effects, I promise. Just take plenty of drinks for her to wash it down lol.

Have a great trip!
