10 of the Best Beach Umbrellas for 2024

  • All Ages

Has the return of the summer swelter got you scrambling to find the best beach umbrella? We don't blame you!

Australia is one hottie patootie when it comes to the weather, and while we do love her for her glorious sunshine, a fun-filled day at the beach with the family should never result in sunstroke. 

If you plan on spending every available weekend with 'beach hair, don't care', we highly recommend arming yourself and your family against Australia's harsh UV rays with a trusty (and stylish) beach umbrella.
