TBH, if Coachella were an umbrella, it'd be this pretty lil thing. Its boho and laid-back look with the added open-weave tasseled fringe will complete your vacay oasis.

The simple striped design is def fit for a person who loves the vintage beach lewk. On top of looking great, it also has some v handy features: There's a two-way rotation tilt mechanism, so adjusting it however way you want is easy, and it comes with a free sandbag. Blessings all around.

Glowing review: I’m SOOOO glad I bought it! Easy to carry, easy to set up and break down (one person job) and didn’t budge when other umbrellas on the beach were doing the hula dance in the wind! It provided enough shade for 3 people to fit comfortably at high noon and room for 4 a little later as the shadow grew larger.

If anyone knows beach equipment, it's Tommy Bahama. This 6-foot beach umbrella comes with a sand anchor and tilting mechanism to keep you protected from the sun all day long. It also has a wind vent to keep things stable.

Glowing review: Once I started twisting the pole into the sand the right way, it literally took only 5 minutes to set up and stayed up all day even with the wind on the beach. Shocked at how easy it really was to set up!!

You'll be protected from not only the sun, but wind, rain, and basically all the elements with this umbrella. It features tie-downs to keep sand and rain from blowing into your little hideaway and has zippered side windows.

Glowing review: It is light and easy to carry; the set-up is simple, quick, and easy to do; it's HUGE once unfolded and can fit so much; it helps us locate our place on the shore when we decide to go for a swim; plus, no one encroaches on our spot because our umbrella takes up space! It's like our own private cabana.

This sun shade from design shop AfterAnother on Society 6 is sure to stand out on the beach. It's UV-coated and comes with the poles and everything else you need to get it set up.

This beach umbrella comes with a heavy-duty sand anchor to keep your umbrella in place even if there's lots of wind. Because it's frankly embarrassing (and you know, dangerous) to go chasing your big 'ol beach umbrella down the sand.

Glowing review: Great umbrella! The color is brilliant. The poles are sturdy. I very much like the built in handles that give leverage when anchoring in the sand. This umbrella also features a secure tilt. Much needed at the beach.

If you're ready to level up your beach umbrella game, this is the one you want. You pile a ton of sand into the attached pouch to anchor it to the ground, and once it's set up, it can withstand winds of up to 44 mph(!!) It also comes with a towel hook and easy carrying case.

Glowing review: Everything about this product is of high quality; the umbrella is clearly built for both ease of use and durability. It takes about three minutes to set up and fill the base with sand, and once the base is filled, that umbrella isn't going anywhere. ... Well worth the price. I can't recommend this umbrella more highly.

This 8-foot colorful umbrella can be spotted from anywhere on the beach. It's easy to tilt, so you'll be protected from the sun's rays all day long. And at less than $40, it's definitely a budget-friendly buy.

Fall in love with this gorgeous handmade umbrella from India. It's decorated with bold patterns and sequins that will stand out against all the other umbrellas at the beach.

Glowing review: Bold and beautiful festive garden umbrella still waiting for it's debut in sunny warm weather!

This 6-foot beach umbrella is secured by weighing down the attached pouch with sand, but what reviewers really love is the UV protection. It has 4 separate layers to protect you from the sun's rays, perfect for those who manage to get sunburned even in the shade.

Glowing review: This umbrella is the first umbrella I've ever found that actually truly blocks the sun. I'm a natural redhead and I can sit under this all day and not get burnt, even without sunscreen. The temperature difference is a good 15-20 degrees cooler under it than out in the sun. Last weekend at the beach I actually got a little chilly under this while it was sweltering in the sun.
