If you have children or want to spend all day on the beachthere are a good selection of beach shelters.
These will protect you and your family from the sun, wind and rain!
For me the most important factor in a beach shelter is the UV protection.
My friend bought a cheap beach shelter which in the recent hot weather was ok for her little one but she had to be so careful because there was no UV protection and the gaps in the shelter meant she was draping it with towels.
I personally would invest in a good quality beach shelter with UV protection.
Below are a few Beach Shelters with UV Protection/Guard.
