Anyone have a rec for a pop-up beach canopy?

[TonFirst]

We're headed to the beach in a few weeks and want to bring a tent to set up for shade. Does anyone have any recommendations or have you seen any deals lately? TIA!

Costco has something for $30ish. I beleive you can use it on sand and on the ground like at the park. It looked almost like a half-tent.

I got one at BRU a couple of months ago

I haven't used it at the beach yet, since our trip is in July. But it's very compact and easy to fold. Instructions arenot perfeclty clear but I searched for videos on yout tube on "how to fold a pop up tent" and after that I found it's super easy.

Thanks for the recs! I should have been more clear - we're looking for something big - enough to cover our chairs and some beach toys - more like this:

But I'm concerned about whether it will blow away, be easy to secure, etc.

We got a Kelty one like this

We're looking at a SwissGear one on Amazon - gets great reviews from everyone who has used it.
