beach pavilion

Coastal shade structure

A beach pavilion is a roofed structure near or on a beach, typically open-sided, providing shade and shelter for swimmers and beachgoers.

Pavilions range from simple picnic shelters to larger buildings with changing rooms, restrooms, and concession stands: We met at the beach pavilion after our swim.

Historic beach pavilions from the early twentieth century often featured ornate architecture and served as social gathering spots.
