Best beach tents & windbreakers for summer 2021

19 July 2021, 09:57

This summer is set to be a scorcher!

As the UK experiences sweltering temperatures of around 30C, now is as good a time as any to invest in a beach tent and windbreak.

Beach tents can be a real life-saver during heatwaves, offering protection from UVA and UVB rays, and some much-needed respite from the sun.

They're particularly useful for those with young children, or if you're planning to spend a whole day on the beach.

Windbreaks, meanwhile, prevent your clothes and food from getting smothered in sand, and help shield you from high winds.
