Beach tent recommendations?

[researchedout]

Hello! We're daydreaming about summer beach trips here and wondering if anyone has a great beach tent they recommend for sitting on the beach during the day. Thank you!

we live on cape cod. the one step ahead tents are EVERYWHERE on the beaches here. personally, i am an umbrella gal. cheaper and easier setup. also what i have always used, even as a kiddo myself.

a great tip from many pals on cape cod. bring a small inflatable pool and fill with a couple inches of water right where you are sitting. the toddlers are easily amused by this and you need not worry about the tides taking them away. lol. hth

We got one from LL Bean and really like it.
