    The T+L team tested nearly two dozen different beach canopies and tents at the beach this summer in order to narrow down the best options available. During our tests, we set up the canopies on the beach, noting how easy each option was to transport and set up. We used each canopy on the beach for at least an hour per visit to get a feel for the sturdiness and effectiveness, while also noting how well each option fared in the sun, wind, and potential light summer rain.
