Best Beach Shelters of 2021
Things are heating up on the southern Jersey shore. Summer temps are soaring into the 80s and 90s, and not likely to come down anytime soon. But that’s nothing a little shade can’t fix. If you want to stay cool on the beach, check out our list of Best Beach Shelters of 2021!
Alvantor Beach Coolhut Plus Pop-up Cabana
This tent is perfect for when you need a little shade and don’t feel like lugging a huge tent that requires two people to set up. In fact, the smaller size is perfect for a party of one. Simply open this lightweight case, toss it down and voila! the tent practically sets itself up. While this is perfect for a solo trip to the beach, it comes in two sizes in case you want to invite others to share in your shade. The small size is 22.5 inches in diameter, weighs only 2.5 pounds and fits 1-2 people. The larger size is 24. 8 inches in diameter, weighs 3 pounds and fits 3-4 people. Both sizes are wind resistant to 25 mph. Skip the cumbersome tent set-up and the challenge of keeping a beach umbrella from flying away with this simple pop-up cabana.
Pros:
- Lightweight
- Easy to set up
- Wind resistant
- Perfect for one person
- Comes in two sizes

Its greatest feature is its portability. Weighing in at only 6.5 pounds, the tent and poles fold up and fit snugly into a 19.5 inch shoulder carrying bag which includes a cooler pocket. This tent offers UPF 50+ protection from the sun and is water repellent.
Pros:
- Lightweight
- Easy to set up
- Sun and water repellent
- Adjustable height and width
CoolCabanas
This is the coolest shelter you’ll find for the beach. CoolCabanas offers the ease and convenience of a beach umbrella with the size and shade range of a cabana. The only difference is, this cabana comes in an over-the-shoulder carrying case. You’ll stay nice and cool with CoolCabanas, thanks to its patented design. It opens like an umbrella but offers four “legs” made of fabric that, when filled with sand, anchor the cabana to the beach. No deep digs, no twisting corkscrew anchors, no running down the beach after a strong breeze carries it away. If you don’t believe us, just take a gander down the beach – you’ll see many of these cool new gadgets all along the southern Jersey shore (firmly anchored and never flying away!) Don’t be shy – go ahead and ask a CoolCabanas owner what they think of their product and wait for them to rave about it. Comes in two sizes in an assortment of colors and prints.
Pros:
- Provides the space and shade range of a cabana without the weight
- Easier to set up than umbrellas and cabanas
- Anchors firmly using only sand
