The OZoola Beach Tent gives families generous shade without the weight and bulk of traditional beach shelters. Starting at just ~1.6 kg, it packs into a compact 50 cm carry bag, making it easy to take to the beach, park, camping trips or family holidays.
UPF 50+ Sun Protection
Made with UPF 50+ fabric, the OZoola Beach Tent provides excellent protection from the Australian sun while its open design allows air to move naturally through the shelter.
Sets Up in Under 3 Minutes
No complicated frame or heavy structure. Fill the four sandbags, stretch the canopy, insert the poles and your beach shade is ready in under three minutes.
Choose the Right Family Beach Tent Size
Standard Beach Tent — 1.5 m × 2 m Comfortably fits 2–3 people with two poles.
Family Beach Tent — 2 m × 2 m Comfortably fits 3–6 people depending on the pole configuration.
Add the optional second set of poles to increase usable shade and create an even more open setup.
Designed for Coastal Conditions
The flexible canopy and sand-anchor design allow air to flow through the shelter rather than trapping it inside. Four weighted sandbags help keep the tent securely anchored during normal beach conditions.
360° Views and Airflow
Unlike enclosed pop-up beach tents, OZoola keeps the sides open. You can enjoy the ocean breeze, see the beach around you and keep an eye on children without sitting inside an enclosed shelter.

Very quick and easy to set up. I love that it is adjustable depending on the sunshine and breeze. Materials seem of good quality and the peace is a very pretty colour. Very happy, thankyou 😁
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for the lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear you’re enjoying the adjustable shade and quality. The color is one of our favorites too :). So glad you’re happy with it!
Love it! Super light weight and packs down really small. Simple to set up and easy to adjust it how you want it. My 8 year old carries it down sets it up and packs it up all herself. Provides enough shade to have break out of the sun without being enormous and overbearing like other popular shelters. We had it set up in strong wind too and it was fine.
The set up is so very very easy. I love it. It offers great protection from the sun and a perfect place to dry off after being in the water. Thank you for this.
We loved this tent! We bought a few with friends for a surf trip. It packs into a small bag so we took it in our carry-on. It’s made of strong, smooth material, and the compact carry case makes it easy to transport. After watching the setup videos, we had it up in no time. With a steady breeze, the tent stayed firm, providing plenty of shade for three chairs and a blanket. Worth every cent!
As a returning customer, I couldn’t be more satisfied with my OZoola tent! It’s super sturdy, sets up in no time, and offers great shade for the whole family. What I love most is how lightweight and portable it is—we take it everywhere with ease. Highly recommend!
We absolutely love our OZoola tent! It was incredibly easy to set up, and unlike my old umbrella, I wasn’t worried about it getting blown over by the wind. It provided plenty of shade without taking up too much space, and taking it down was just as simple. Plus, it packs into a small bag that even my little one can carry!
Great little tent! It’s lightweight and sets up super fast. I highly recommend this tent for young families who can’t carry too much stuff to the beach.
Five stars from us. Such a great tent! We love it.
We used to have an umbrella but it kept falling apart on windy days. This tent holds nicely. Note that you must use a lot of sand for the bags. The setup is easy peasy and takes only a couple of minutes if you follow the instructions. As a young mum, I am in love
No doubt its a grt product. Test and trialled in the harshest conditions of beaches at central coast.
I added few cheap sandbags to the poles, it helps. I infact might want to buy just few more poles, if i need to use all all 4 corners. But its just fine with 2 poles as well. Alot of people were looking at it, as this was the only ozoola tent i have seen here. I loved this innovation. Once u get used to using, its very easy setup.
It’s so portable and light I can easily pack it for any beach trip. It’s simple to setup and won’t blow away like umbrellas when the wind picks up. Other people on the beach have already asked me a few times “where did you buy that beach tent?”
A beach essential
Game changer!
I love it so much that I want to go to the beach every day. What used to be an impossible task to get down to the beach with my two-year-old became so easy!
The tent is super lightweight and easy to set up (with the help of my bub)!
Thanks guys
We bought this tent for the upcoming summer and have to say I don’t know how we managed beach days before!! It is so easy to carry with us and love the simplicity of setting it up with the help of the kids as well!
This is my second time purchasing an Ozoola tent and I can’t be more happy. We just wanted to have an extra one because our family got bigger! So easy to set up and take down. Also, finally a shade that I can carry with my two toddlers by myself. In the past we had a cabana but it was so heavy to carry and wasn’t one person job to put up. Also, we love the fact that Ozoola doesn’t have a pole in the middle. Thanks guys!
Finally, a shade that I can carry to the beach & set up for my two toddlers by myself. This is the best sunshade I've ever had! Easy to set up (be sure to read the tips on how to put it up). Lightweight. The harder the wind blew on the beach, the better the OZoola liked it. I had people stopping all week long commenting on how awesome it was and wanting to know where to purchase one. I am a very happy customer.
So easy to set up and carry. I was surprised how light it was to carry. The material made it very beach friendly, it didn't retain any sand when taking it home. Love it
I'm extremely happy with my OZoola beach tent. The simplicity and ease of use is awesome. I expect it to outlast the other more popular beach shades I see.
We used this beach tent for the last three months on our road trip and it is absolutely the best sunshade we�ve ever had! Wind resistant and so easy to put together
It's so good and practical that we brought it with us back home. Totally worth it ____________
We used the orange sunshade first time this summer and love it! Perfect for the beach, and we've already had people walk over to ask us about it and where we got it. Couldn't be happier!

Easy setup and plenty of shade for a day at the beach

Thank you Amy, for the great review! Glad it helped make your outing more comfortable.
Love everything about this sun shade. Bought it from a recommendation from a friend now a few of us have matching ones and be can link them up for some big beach days. Takes a minute to figure of the angles and what way to position it in the wind but it holds up better than any other shade on the beach. Plus so light and compact. Love
I am fairly disappointed with the beach tent. I expected something a little more robust and quality, but it seems cheaply made. I do understand its meant to be a light weight option and that's why we went with this one. We bought the beach tent for our trip around WA and it did not hold up to even light winds, the website states wind resistant. The fabric used is standard lycra, which is too stretchy. A sturdier fabric is needed as this one stretches in the wind, no matter how you set it up. You could at least include 4 poles to help the thing stay up! Also poles are too cheap, I managed to bend one from pushing it into hard sand. Would not recommend...

I love this tent because it’s so light and easy to set up, my kids and husband help me with it and it’s set up in a flash. It’s miles better than the fold up plastic box type tents we used to have. This one feels cool and breezy and in tune with nature. Best purchase I’ve made for summer!
