It’s still summer — And this beach tent is perfect for your weekend adventure

Zara Larsson’s “Midnight Sun” lyrics are echoing in our ears now more than ever this September: “Summer isn’t over yet.”

I’m still planning fun weekend getaways while NYC temps are warm, including rocking out at a music festival, sunbathing in Central Park, swimming at Rockaway Beach or taking a day trip to the Hamptons.

The sun is blazing in the city, and I’ll be honest: umbrellas just aren’t cutting it. This past Labor Day, I actually lost an umbrella on the beach after it blew all the way across the sand, leaving me out of the shade for hours and majorly sunburnt.

If you’re like me and want to avoid looking like a tomato, consider shopping the CoolCabana Beach Shade Tent. Boujee? Maybe a bit, but you’ll be grateful when you have your very own cabana to lounge in during upcoming trips.

CoolCabana Beach Shade Tent

The compact tent folds down to just 3’2″ (medium) and 3’5″ (large), making it easy to take on the go. You can even stash it in checked luggage for tropical holiday travel.

It’s super easy to set up, and most importantly, it provides UPF 50+ protection, helping shield you from harsh UV rays.

There are sand pockets in all four corners, providing 35 lbs of weight when filled so that your cabana stays put.

Choose from two sizes, large (64ft²) or medium (43ft²). The hut comes in a variety of fun prints, including navy stripes, coronado navy, St. Tropez and pineapples.

One shopper praised the product saying, “Easy to set up and extremely well constructed. Provided good shade and was quieter than some other designs. I was willing to pay the price because it gave me piece of mind it would hold up during our Outer Banks vacation.”

Before closing out your packing list for upcoming travels, consider lounging in style with the CoolCabana Beach Shade Tent.
