ONIVA Portable Beach Umbrella: We liked how easy this umbrella was to set up and take down, but felt that it was difficult to twist it far enough into the sand to reliably withstand wind. It also provided shade for just one person.Some possible downsides worth mentioning though: the canopy doesn’t tilt and the entire umbrella is a bit heavy when carried across long distances. To test portability, we carried the umbrellas to and from the beach, monitoring the comfort level of the carrying case and strap. We noted which felt awkward versus which had features to increase comfort, like a padded strap. Once arriving, we evaluated the ease of use of the umbrellas, noting if the setup instructions were easy to follow, and how long the entire process took. If you want something a bit fancier, OutdoorMaster makes a version of its heavy-duty umbrella with an attached cup holder. But you can't go wrong with the original option that comes in tons of colorful striped options that feel perfect for the beach. Plus, it breaks down to fit in a lightweight bag with a convenient, long carrying strap. Overall, we are confident the umbrella is sturdy enough to withstand even the gustiest of beach breezes. The tent-umbrella hybrid sits at a tilt that you can adjust, but this means it doesn't stand straight up like a traditional beach umbrella, which we would've liked. Plus, the large size can be a bit cumbersome to carry. Even with the carrying strap, it would dig into our shoulders after a while. Still, heavy-duty, UPF 50+-rated material and impressive wind resistance make this an excellent option for avid beachgoers. The most important factor in a beach umbrella stand is stability. You want a stand that is sturdy and won't tip over in the wind or on uneven ground. Look for stands that have a wide base or legs with spikes that can be anchored into the sand.

The days of having to buy extra accessories for your beach umbrella are over. The dig-git Beach Umbrella has a clever base design that doubles as both a shovel and anchor. Just use the shovel to dig a hole, rotate the base into the anchor position, and secure into the sand. It’s that easy. The best part? It’ll stay put in up to 40 MPH winds!From a functional standpoint, the stand might not look like much—we love its discreet design—but it’s actually capable of a lot with a removable water-resistant catchall dish at the bottom of the stand. It also comes in both a whitewash shade as well as a darker honey brown so that you can select a shade that best fits your decor and style while keeping your floors dry. Designed with the beach elements in mind, the Frankford Beach Umbrella is sunproof, windproof, and mildew resistant.
