Have the beach shelter tested on the windswept beaches of Gruissan (F) and loved it! Very easy to assemble. Provides wonderful protection from the wind and from the sun. Looks great. And: This beach tent offers plenty of space. Our daughter has even made her nap in it. Definitely take because we have not seen similar beach shelters in France. Important: Order Sand pegs separately because the supplied pegs unfit for the beach. - This beach seashell is really worth its price.
