Beach Efficiency

What is the best beach shade?

How CoolCabanas have effectively addressed the three major problems faced by beach lovers.

Let’s face it. One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime.

We live for those sun-soaked, golden beach days - the kind that fill our summer memories. However, the stake are high. Without proper protection we are increasing our risks of skin cancer.
We need sufficient beach shade.

A to scale comparison of the shade provided by a standard beach umbrella, compared with a large CoolCabana. Clearly, three umbrellas are required for a comparable useable shade area.

1. Efficiency in Shade Design: The largest shade, with the smallest footprint

A circle is fine, for a solo visit perhaps.

But bring along a friend, the family, or the inevitable energy of wild-hearted kids, and that circular shade falls short.

The CoolCabana’s square design maximises shade coverage while minimising the beach footprint. Ensuring that everyone from your bestie to your hyperactive toddler is adequately protected from the sun's unforgiving rays.

Everyone fits. Everyone's happy. Everyone’s safe.

2. Stable in Strong Winds: Never chase a flying Umbrella again

Ever witnessed the chaotic dance of an umbrella in gusty winds?

Not only is it a sight to see, but it's also dangerous.

A runaway umbrella can quickly become a hazard, zipping across the beach, threatening everyone in its path. CoolCabanas are anchored with four corner sand pockets, and use just center pole. Think of a CoolCabana as an evolved beach umbrella with just one center pole that uses corner sand anchors.

CoolCabanas are built to resist, to stay put, to protect. Peace of mind? Guaranteed.

3. Maintaining the Beach View: CoolCabanas respect the sightlines of lifeguards and other beach lovers

Imagine needing three beach umbrellas just to have comparable shade to one CoolCabana. Those multiple poles and umbrella roofs at varied angles obstruct the scenic beauty of the beach and, crucially, the sightlines for lifeguards and fellow beachgoers.

The CoolCabana? It's a game changer. Offering expansive shade without the excess clutter. Enjoy the view, remain vigilant, and stay connected with the beach's vibrant atmosphere

For smart and practical beach shade, the CoolCabana is unparalleled.

As it stands, CoolCabanas are allowed on every beach in the United States aside from:

  • Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach, specifically between Memorial day and Labor Day
