Best Beach Tents for Families: Reviews
Gorich Beach Tent
If you are looking for an affordable, durable, and comfortable beach tent for the whole family, this might just be the very best option.
Review
Here we have a beach tent that actually comes in various sizes, with models including a three-person, four-person, and six-person tent. We personally like the six-person tent, as it comes in at 106.3 by 106.3 by 63 inches. It features up to 60% more space than other beach tents that come in at the same price.
What’s pretty cool is that the floor actually extends 55 inches past the dome, which allows you to hang out in the sun, but without having to sit on the sand.
What you might also appreciate is that it is very fast and easy to set up, as it just takes a couple of people and a few minutes. When folded down, it forms a very small package and weighs just 6.6 pounds, therefore making it ideal for portability.
It features high quality silver coated fabric that is UV resistant, which helps to keep it in one piece by warding off the sunlight, plus it helps keep the sunlight off of you as well.
It then comes complete with a fiberglass frame that is very strong and flexible. The tent itself features four-sided ventilation with large mesh windows, plus the material itself is water-resistant.
Pros
- Good sun protection
- Lots of space
- Covered and uncovered areas
- Thick floor
- Easy to transport and set up
Cons
- Walls aren’t overly durable
Luxvol Beach Tent
If you are looking for a beach tent that can fit up to six people, comes loaded with features, and won’t cost you a fortune, this might just be the best one for you.
Review
This is labeled as being a six-person beach tent, although it comes in at 95 by 53 by 55 inches, so we would say that it is probably best for around four to five people, not six. That said, it is still quite spacious and should be more than good enough for a whole family.
What is really cool is that when it is folded down, it comes in at just 32 by 10 by 16 inches, therefore making it extremely portable. It’s something that you can very easily fit into your car.
At the same time, it’s also very easy to set up, which is in part thanks to the simple frame that it comes with. However, it also comes with sandbags, ground nails, guy lines, and poles, which therefore makes it very resistant to the wind. This is a beach tent that can easily resist high winds.
You might also appreciate how it comes complete with double-coated silver fabric, which allows for greater UV resistance. This means that this tent is resistant to the sun and it helps keep the sun off of you as well.
What’s cool is that it comes complete with what is essentially an awning, so you can sit partially under the sun and partially in the shade. It also features windows for great ventilation on all sides.
Pros
- Wind resistant
- Sun resistant
- Quite spacious
- Allows you to sit in the shade
- Good ventilation
- Portable
Cons
- Takes a while to set up
- Probably won’t quite fit 6 people as advertised
NXONE Beach Tent Sun Shade
If you are just looking for an extremely basic, affordable, and simple sun shade, then this is a good tent to consider.
Review
Here we have a very simple beach tent that is designed for just two or three people but is probably the most comfortable for just two people. It’s not overly large, but this is one of the attractive aspects of it. It’s more than large enough to fit two people comfortably, yet also small enough to make it very portable.
This is especially the case when it is folded down. In fact, this is one of the smallest and lightest beach tents on the list today. It comes in at just 4 pounds, therefore making it extremely portable.
You might also like how this tent is made out of silver-coated polyester, which helps to block out up to 95% of the sun’s rays, therefore keeping you safe. It also makes the material itself quite resistant to degradation due to the sun.
Furthermore, you also get various tie-down strings, steel steaks and plastic steaks, to help keep the tent in place, therefore preventing the wind from lifting it up. The tent also comes with an extended floor, so you can sit in front of it to enjoy the sunlight. It also comes with three mesh windows for air flow.
Pros
- Lightweight and portable
- Good for two parents and a child
- Mesh windows
- Easy to set up
- Ideal protection from the sun
Cons
- Limited durability
Venustas Beach Tent
Here we have a moderately priced four-person beach tent that comes complete with all of the features you need to keep you comfortable in the sun.
Review
This is a beach tent that is made with 210D Oxford fabric, combined with very durable 190T silver-coated polyester. Right off the bat, this makes this particular beach tent one of the most durable tents on the list. It also offers great protection from sunlight. It keeps you safe from the sun and the tent itself is also resistant to sunlight.
You might also appreciate how it comes complete with three windows for ventilation, windows that can be closed to keep the sun out. At the same time, it also features a 55-inch extended floor, so you can sit in front of the tent on the ground and still enjoy the sunlight.
Keep in mind that the tent itself comes in at 102 by 65 by 59 inches, therefore making it more than large enough for three or even four people at once. You might also appreciate how this tent is extremely easy to set up, take down, and transport. When folded down, it comes in at just 16.5 by 5.5 by 4.7 inches, with a total weight of under 5 pounds.
Pros
- Superior durability
- Spacious
- Great price
- Nice windows
- Extended floor
- Lightweight and portable
Cons
- Not wind resistant
SEBOR Beach Tent
Here we have a nice beach tent that can comfortably fit four to five people. It’s made with durable materials, has some good features, and won’t cost you a fortune either.
Review
This beach tent comes in at 99 by 55 by 57 inches, so we think that it is suitable for four or maybe five people at once. What’s nice is that it weighs only 7 pounds, so it’s lightweight and portable. When folded down, it comes in at just 39 by 5.9 by 3.9 inches, therefore making it very compact and easy to transport.
We like how this unit features so-called dark shelter fabric complete with SPF50 protection. This means that it keeps the sunlight out and is actually very dark on the inside, something that many people are going to appreciate. It features ventilation windows on all three sides, as well as optional ventilation in the roof.
The tent itself is made out of water-resistant PU, or in other words polyurethane, a special type of plastic. This makes this tent very durable and even water resistant. One of the coolest features is that this is a pop-up beach tent, which means that you just have to lift up the top and the whole thing will spring into place, without any assembly required.
Pros
- Extended floor
- Great durability
- Dark on the inside
- Plenty of ventilation
- Water-resistant
- Lightweight and portable
Cons
- Not ideal for windy days
Conclusion
Thanks to its overall durability and features, we think that the Luxvol Beach Tent is the best option on the list today.
