Sun Bum x Neso Parasol

Staked it down in about two minutes and it held firm through a gusty afternoon. Loved that it doubles as a beach tent so we could escape the sun for a bit, and it folded back up way easier than I expected.

Took this out for a full beach day and the shade held up perfectly even in a gusty breeze—the sand pockets are genius. It's roomy enough for two people to nap under without fighting for space.

Took it to the beach last weekend, and the fact that I could actually set it up alone in a few minutes instead of wrestling with a regular umbrella was a game changer. The fabric held up nicely against the wind, too. It's not cheap, but it's clearly a quality piece that'll last many trips.
