Just incase someone hasn't read that i've recently come back from a scorching 14 nights in cornwall.

While down there bought a beach tent and it had a zip up front great for changing and when having a family paddle, it had 3 pockets around the outside to fill with sand too help with weighting it,ok so your beach bags inside add a little more weight.

We paid £7 saw the same tent for £13 at another store,if your going coastal buy while your their seem to be everywhere. And although very cheap i highly reccomend, very small pack size of ,not an inconvenience at all,1 man assembly in a few mins,great to keep all your beach things together especially kids balls if it's a little breezy.And sometimes a little shade is a relief.

 we have a pop up tent from Early Learning Centre I bought when my youngest was toddling - he is now nearly 7 and it has been used a LOT!! still going strong but the bag it lives in has seen better days so my sewing kit has to come out for me to make a new bag.

It cost us about £20 at the time but has been so worth it - we have a door on ours (it velcros on with tabs) and I have been known to change in it as has my hubby! 

I've been thinking about one of theses, with the pockets, to make some shade for the dogs. They pull down anything that involves guy ropes or poles by getting their leads caught up, I thought one of these might do the trick.

Any thoughts?

i know it's not cheap but i got one of these

 If anyone is interested in beach fishing there are now several open style beach tents which directly attach to a six foot tripod. These are ideal because if you you look directly upward the rod tips are in clear view, so just put reflective tape on the end of your beachcaster and you are ready for a good nights fishing on the beach.
