Going to the beach is always a fun experience. However constantly having the sun beat down on you can be overwhelming, and quite dangerous. Next time you go to the beach make sure you have a beach tent. Beach tents are great for kids to play in, store your gear, and relax in. Designed to fold up and transport easily, your next trip to the beach will be a breeze!
