The Benefits of Beach Shade Structures
How Beach Cabana Rental Can Help You Stay Cool
It is important to protect yourself while lounging on the beach. Here is a guide to the benefits of beach cabana rental.
There’s nothing better than a beach vacation to North Carolina’s Outer Banks!
The sun, the surf, the sand. There’s something for everyone–from bodyboarders and beach runners to those who prefer to laze around on the sand all day soaking up the rays.
No matter your activity level, you’re going to want some much-needed shade on the beach. Not only does it keep you cool, but it also protects your skin from sun damage.
In fact, there’s a ton of benefits to beach cabana rental. Read on to find out more!
Shelter from Bad Weather
Beach shelters aren’t just great for shade. It can also keep other not-so-pleasant weather elements at bay.
Of course, no one likes to be at the beach on a rainy day. But sometimes, a sunny morning turns into a drizzly afternoon. If you’ve already put all the effort into getting out to the beach, you don’t want just to waste the day, right?
If you have beach shade, you can wait out the drizzle in style. Then, as soon as the sun appears again, you can head back into the water. And if it doesn’t, you’re cozy and comfortable inside your private structure.
Likewise, if it’s a windy day, a cabana will protect you from those pesky gusts that blow sand into your sandwiches.
Stay On the Sand for Longer
It’s cool, comfortable, and you’ve got food and drink and your supplies right there. Since all your basic needs are taken care of, there’s no need to run back to the hotel for a spare towel or to a restaurant for lunch. You can stay at the beach all day without a care in the world!
Keeps You Cooler
One of the most undeniable benefits of a shade structure is that it blocks the sun while also circulating air. This creates a temporary beach “cave” that’s much cooler than a permanent wooden or metal cabana.
Very young children and the elderly are especially prone to heatstroke. By renting a cabana, the more vulnerable members of your party have somewhere to escape the heat of the midday sun. And no one has to make a troublesome trip back to the hotel.
Shade structures also help keep food and drink cool and make the ice on your cooler last longer. Hot food not only tastes terrible, but it can even be dangerous to ingest.
Protect Your Skin
More than 5 million skin cancers are diagnosed each year in America–and sun exposure is a leading cause. Sun protection is essential for anyone heading out for a day at the beach.
While you can slather yourself in sunscreen and wear rash suits, they’re not foolproof skin protection methods. You need to reapply sunscreen frequently, and rash suits shift as you move.
Having a shade structure set up on the beach means you can spend your downtime out of the sun and be protected from those harmful UV rays.
Protect Your Belongings
While many people don’t wear precious jewelry to the beach, they still have to bring along essential (and expensive) possessions like GoPros, smartphones, and wallets. Typically, you’d leave these in a bag on the sand, which your towel may cover. But that’s risky, right?
Shade structures provide you and your family or friends with a permanent, secure, and safe place to park your belongings. They also protect clothing, diving, sports equipment, electronics, and other beach must-have accessories from fading and heat damage.
More Comfortable for Everyone
You can set up the inside of a shade structure with chairs, tables, picnic blankets, bean bags… anything you like, really! This makes for a cozy place to relax after you get out of the surf. Even people with limited mobility can enjoy the beach safely and comfortably under a cleverly curated canopy.
Not to mention that dehydration is a frequent problem at the beach. All that heat, running around, swimming, and sports means you simply forget to drink enough water. The shade created by a cabana helps keep you hydrated and gives you a place to keep your water cool and palatable.
You’ll Have a Home Base
A beach is an open place, especially if it’s crowded. Your neighbors are just a stone’s throw away. Just like your own home, a shade structure provides an element of privacy.
Under your private cabana, you can relax knowing no one’s watching you. Looking straight out at the ocean, you might even end up feeling like you have the whole beach to yourself!
You Get a Setup Service
If you rent a beach cabana from the right company (we suggest Farmdog Beach Services, of course), then you won’t have to lift a finger. All you’ll need to do is book, pay, and turn up at the beach at the designated time.
Here’s how it works:
- A team sets up your cabana while you sleep in or get a run in
- Head over to your pre-arranged spot on the beach in the late morning
- Look for the cabana with your name on the sign
- Enjoy the day!
- In the early evening, a team arrives to breakdown the cabana
Rent your cabana for a day or a week; it’s up to you! You choose where it’s set up and add everything from extra chairs to coolers for an additional fee.
