This beach tent is the best for price, design, features, and quality. The beach shelters/tents that sell for less are usually not as sturdy and large as this one. Plus the others are depicted more as "shelters" wheras this one is lite and airy like a shelter but has more tent-like features. In the design description it is the only one I found that can handle light to moderate rain so that was the best selling point for me as it makes a chancey day at the beach worth it. I just climb inside and wait for the drizzle to stop and out comes the sun again. The ones designed as just shelters let in the rain and have no privacy door.
All the other reviews are fair too except for folks that say it's hard to put together. It is really easy. I do it myself, but it would take half the time with a partner. And yes the wind makes it more difficult to set up but that's why I bring it to the beach in the first place so I can stop getting sand in my mouth/eyes and take a break from the sun. Even have a nice lunch inside sans the sand in my sandwich and the seagulls who swipe my food. The only other option is to check out those "pop up" versions. But they cost twice the price as the Coleman.
Here are the perks: sturdy for wind and some rain, sun protection 50+, back door can be switched to an open or screened window, clothes drying line in side, large enough for two adults to lay down in even when fully zipped up, roomy enough for entire family of 3 to 4 if you have children.
So bring on the wind and let me enjoy my beach time. And yes if you are wondering, the front door zips up so there's privacy for changing clothes or whatever else you care to do depending on what beach you are at. Thanks to the other reviewers who recommended this product!
