With a summer heatwave on the way, all thoughts are on the ocean but, even with a sea breeze, the beach can be a pretty unforgiving place without a spot of shade.
When you’ve got little kids, the steaming hot sand, the sun in their eyes and sweaty rashie can be a fun-killer before you’ve even got started.
It means that for families a speedy shade saviour is exactly what’s needed — and for under $50 on Amazon Best Picks has spotted he perfect solution.

The JKUNDA easy pop up beach tent is perfect for two to three people to get some respite from the sun.
Super lightweight and portable, with an easy carry-strap, the tent is made from fabric with Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) 50+ and is also Anti UV.
It comes in various patterns and colours and customers call it “the perfect beach tent.”
“Perfect! Easy set up and take down. Great place for you and your kiddo to relax at the beach and have protection from the sun,” said one customer.
“I absolutely LOVE this tent,” said another.
“This tent is way bigger than the babymoov and just overall better in every way. I love the zipper bag, the closeable front and the little area at the back to let in light. We use it all year, in and out door for the kids to play in!”
Other customers also talk about how easy the set up is with one writing: “Takes one second to unfold” and another agreeing:
“Awesome tent for baby. Easy to open and close.”
The tent includes two inner pockets and six pegs to hold tent in place on the sand.
Users report that: “It held fine in a light breeze”.
They also like the portability and, even though some say it takes a few tries to re-fold it, once you get the hang of it, it’s simple.
It does come with instructions and there’s a ‘how to’ video on the company’s website.
Foldable curtains and rear mesh window speed up air circulation and allow air to flow freely through the tent which, not only keeps the tent cool and breathable, but also keeps the insects out.
The zipper door design prevents sands come in when it’s windy and also means you have a ready-made change room on the beach.
It’s also waterproof if there’s a sudden summer storm.
