We cannot even think about going to the beach without a beach umbrella! The Uv rays at the beach are intense and are the amount one cause of skin cancer. Beach umbrellas have come a long way in styles, colors and sizes. You can find just about whatever you want, but keep in mind the better the fabric used the more sun protection you get.

In selecting a beach umbrella you should explore the fabric used and see if it has been rated with an Spf factor such as the way outdoor sports clothing is rated. If you are reasoning of a vinyl material it should be made with two or three-ply for growth in sun protection. Another ability your umbrella should have is the ease in putting it up and stability. Many times windy conditions exist at the beach and the umbrella you pick must have flexibility so it does not break or lose its shape. You are able to buy beach umbrellas with a tilt mechanism, but most beach umbrellas are made to stick right in the sand and can be tilted at an angle to block out most of the sun's rays. There are devices that can be put down in the sand and attached to your umbrellas for the extra stability that you are seeing for. You also want to pay particular attentiveness to ventilation so if you are in windy conditions the umbrella will not blow down the beach and end up hitting someone. The vents allow the air to come and go without disrupting the placement of your umbrella.
