Looking forward to using!
Haven’t used it on the beach yet, but we set it up to try it out and I think we will really like it. Easy to set up and take down.

Very good so far but needs zippers on windows
I live in South Florida where it’s gets very hit and the sun is strong. The sun moves and every half hour or so I need to open or close one of the 3 screen windows and zippers instead of toggles would have made it much easier to adjust for air and shade. It’s great that it has 3 screens as my last tents only had 2 side windows. The pegs that are included will not work in sand so invest in some stakes made specifically for sand and I attached a rope and carabiner to 8 sand stakes so they are ready to use during windy or breezy days. The stake with holes is the best. The tent won’t budge in winds up to 17 mph. The sand does not stick to the fabric which is great, it shakes off. The bag it comes in is wide enough where you can get the tent back in when you are leaving. I could see where it might be difficult for a petite person to open depending on your strength. I do recommend this beach tent and it would just be much better with zippers on the screens for adjustability.

Great Beach Tent
I’ve gone through a lot of beach tents. This one came out way on top. Haven’t had it for long but it seems durable enough to hold out.

Have not used it yet, but it is a little hard to open, we have been practicing. We do like it and once we get to use it at the beach i'm sure we will love it.

Attractive sun tent~
Great Baby Gift. The quality and striped pattern are so much nicer than those brightly colored ones available all over the Internet. Will make the baby's first trip to the shore safe.

This item broke the first time it was used. Unfortunately, I did not learn about it until recently.

I have used this a couple time and am quite happy with it. I took it to the beach and camping. It is roomy and fairly easy to set up and take down. It also packs up well.

Spacious and easy to use
We love this shelter! Lots of space inside. It’s great for the beach. We also use it in our backyard on sunny days. Easy to set up and take down. The storage bag makes for easy transport.

This thing is awesome!
Wife convinced me we needed this for beach trips and she was absolutely right. This sun shade couldn’t be easier to set up. Pull it out of the bag and with one push on the top mechanism, it pops right out and is ready to go. Just as easy to put away as well. The mesh “windows” have flaps to maximize shade while still allowing airflow. Do yourself a favor and get one even if you don’t go to the beach and want an easy pop out sun shade. This can fit four adults sitting on towels comfortably.

Cozy tent for the beach
Great purchase, makes beach days a delight! Love the “window” flaps - close windy side, open sunny side, nice to have shade between swims so don’t burn!

Perfect Beach Day Necessity
A beautiful pop-up tent that goes up and down in seconds. Having guaranteed shade allows us to hang out on the beach for as long as we want, without worry of sunburn. The ability to open or close the side flaps for more or less ventilation is great.

This is exactly what we need. It is easy to open and close and the privacy flap is an added bonus. Anxious to go use it now!

Shade at the beach
Set it up in the front yard following instructions. Very simple. Bought it to use next summer. Will be perfect for whichever beach we go.

Easy setup.
The shelter is easy to setup and take down and easily pack back into its bag. It is the first shelter we have owned that I could honestly say it can be handled by one person even in windy conditions. The windows are large enough to keep the interior cool on the beach.

Herculean strength to set up
This looks well made and beautiful but you need more strength and longer arms than I possess to set it up. I presume it was designed and tested by a man. I am not able to pull the cord far enough while using my other hand to set the nob in place. My arm strength and ability to pull the string further is maxed out before I can engage it in place. I originally got this to use at the beach a while back but ended up just using our umbrella instead as it was lighter to carry. I was finally going to make use of it for attending my son’s soccer games but I will need to get someone else to do the set up. I would recommend this product if you are someone with the strength to set it up, but not for use by a more petite person setting up solo.

Love it!
I saw this set up at the store and wanted it immediately! It is relatively easy to set up once you figure it out (hint: the instructions are on the tag inside of the carrying bag!). It provided a great source of shade on a hot day at the beach.

This tent is extremely lightweight and easy to carry. It is also very easy to set up and take down and stands up to high winds at the beach. We love it!

another outstanding LLBean product
We purchase a Sunbuster Folding Shelter for each of our 4 children after the birth of their 1st child (our Grandchildren). They all love the gift, and they all love their Sunbuster Shelters. It's a great way to enjoy our very young Grandchildren on the Block Island beaches early in their lives. We head to Block Island next week and our 6th Grandchild (4 months old), along with the other 5 grandkids will all be using their Sunbuster Shelters every day on the Block. We love the Block and we love all of our LLBean Outdoor products.

Hard to put up
I bought this a while ago, and had to use it this summer. The first time i used it, it worked okay. It went up…harder than the directions tell you though, especially if youre doing this alone. The second time, somehow the fabric on one of the poles twisted around the bottom so it didnt stand up correctly. It couldnt be readily fixed because the caps on the bottom of the poles are NOT removable. This made it impossible to fix right away. I gave up.

Perfect for family beach weekend
We enjoyed using this on a family beach weekend. Perfect for resting out of the sun, storing gear, and changing the baby. Easy to set up and take down. It was stable in mpderate winds and provided good ventilation. I like the stripes with red trim!

Shade for all!
Shade for the whole family! Easy up, easy down. I did it all with a 9 month old in tow. Much bigger than I anticipated, but that’s not a bad thing.

Easy to assemble
I purchased this for our trip last week to Virginia Beach. It was great for the mother and her 8 month old. The rest of us all tried and agreed it was a well worth purchase. It was easy to assemble and take down which is half the battle.
