10 Best Beach Tents UK 2024 | Coleman, Quecha and More

Topping the list is this XL offering from Easthills Outdoors, speciously destined to shade four people on those long summer days by the sea. It is equipped with every possible feature you'd expect from the number one beach tent available online. 

The umbrella pop-up system and dark shade lining will keep the family cool, calm and collected from the offset as you begin to soak up all the goodness a full day at the beach has to offer. Keep it light, breezy and easy with this very well-priced Easthills epic that'll stay put, look good and help you unwind from it all. 

OK, it's pretty clear this structure isn't automatically placed in the beach tent category, but bear with it for just a second and you'll start to understand. Quecha's large inflatable living area benefits from a completely pole-less design, allowing you more space without the extra weight. 

It's recommended to fit 8 people comfortably, but really, you could squeeze in a couple more. By simply filling the air chambers, you'll be able to protect the whole extended family at the beach or park. Expect this one to bring on envy from every onlooking bystander! 

Easthills Outdoors are at the forefront of beach tent design, producing a wide-reaching range of modern tents of every size. This is their smaller offering, which is recommended for a maximum of two people.

The umbrella pop-up system they've used works incredibly well at both saving you time and securing your miniature beach kingdom. With included guy lines, pegs, sand pockets, a zip-up groundsheet and three rolling windows, this tent hasn't skimped on any of a beach tent's most desirable features. 

The Jack Wolfskin beach shelter is a high-end beach tent that's both windproof and water-repellent while also retaining that important UPF 50+ rating. This toughened construction ensures that no matter the weather, you'll have some level of protection. 

The dual side windows and wide-open front will allow a welcome cool draft to circulate the tent, plus, the groundsheet is not only closable but also lockable, ensuring your belongings will be as safe as possible when left unattended. All in all, it's a clever, well-made tent to house 2-3 people comfortably. 

With a clear leap in price and quality, this umbrella style beach tent hasn't skimped on any features. The pop-up locking poles allow for an incredibly sturdy structure that's erected quickly and with no stress.

Also included are three large screen windows across the sides and back of the tent, giving you a truly breezy experience when sheltering from the summer sun. The groundsheet can be Velcroed across the wide-open front for protection and privacy too, making this 4-person pop up a well-rounded and well-priced option. 

Decathlon's signature camping brand, Quecha, create reliable and functional camping equipment for always-competitive prices, and this tent is no different. Designed for two adults, this spring-loaded pop-up will give you and a partner or friend shelter in an instant. 

Again, this tent comes with a zip-up groundsheet for some added privacy and a break from the sand when needed. It's also constructed from UPF 50+ 'fresh' fabric which is designed to reduce the heat inside the tent. Hopefully, this feature works as it says, because this tent has no windows or air vents to boast of otherwise. 

Coleman are a recognised camping and tent brand that offer well-made products for mid-range prices. This is their beach tent that provides 50+ protection through a certified lab-tested UV guard.

Use your previous camping experience to erect this beach tent with standard poles, pegs, guy lines and sand pockets for a sturdy and compact escape from the sun. Additionally, it comes equipped with a zip-up groundsheet and a wide-open front to give you privacy when you need it and a breeze when you don't.

Scoring highly on the adorable meter, this baby tent with a miniature paddling pool gives your little one a chance to play in the seawater in a safe and controlled manner. Plus, the spring-loaded pop-up design ensures you won't have to spend any time at all setting up bub's play station for the day. 

It's certainly not the most structurally sound of all tents, however, it does come with sand pockets for a little added security against the wind. The wide-open front and rolling back vent will give your baby a welcome airflow, helping them to stay cool yet shaded. 

Probably the most recognisable style of regular tent available on the market, this tent from LittleLife certainly knows its story. It too comes equipped with poles, pegs and sand pockets to hopefully stave off any chance of the tent rolling or folding away. 

This tent also features a zip-up front door allowing your family some level of privacy when desired. Its only cause for concern is its lack of breathability. Without the inclusion of air vents or windows, this style of tent is prone to warming up on the hottest of summer days. 

A popular offering from Argos, this beach tent may not come equipped with the same features as the other tents on this list, but it sure is cheap. Luckily, it still offers UV 50 protection, which is the main thing, right?

Taking a familiar camping-tent form, it utilises standard tent poles, guy lines, pegs and sand pockets to create a fairly stable structure. However, with no way of shutting the front up, you could end up exposed to the elements on a predictably unpredictable day at a British beach.
