beach canopy

Seaside sun shield

A beach canopy is a portable shade structure used at the beach, typically a fabric cover supported by poles or a pop-up frame.

Unlike umbrellas, canopies provide broader coverage and often have open or mesh sides for ventilation: We set up the beach canopy before the kids started building sandcastles.
