ALL-IN-ONE BEACH UMBRELLA SYSTEM. Includes ULTRA Base (compliant with the ASTM F3681-24 Beach Umbrella Safety Standard). (Deep Ocean Blue)

I was hesitant to buy a beach umbrella due to always seeing them folding up and ripping. This year I decided to do some research since we were making our first beach trip with our 14 month old son and a shady spot on the beach was a priority. Searching Amazon showed many different options which I further researched. BeachBub was by far the best product as far as reviews on YouTube and Amazon so I decided to get one. When it arrived, I was very impressed by the quality (the poles and canopy were top quality and all of the arms underneath were sturdy and thick (not the usual bendable metal that snaps and tears through the canopy.). The items included were clearly labeled which made setup a breeze!!! The only setup that is required prior to the first use is to secure the ring which holds the sand tarp which provides extra weight to the post which makes the umbrella very secure! (One thing I recommend is to push aside the first few inches of loose sand prior to using the sand gopher to dig the hole…I also believe that is mentioned in the directions.) Beach setup is 3 minutes. The provided towel hooks were of superior quality just like everything else about this product and was great to not only hold towels, but a Bluetooth speaker which I hung from a net bag to keep items that I did not want exposed to the sand such as my sunglasses and GoPro camera available for quick access out of the sun and sand right under the canopy. I was so impressed with the quality of this product that I ordered the BeachBub tray table add on accessories. This also was built with the same quality as everything else! It was nice to set up quick and easy and know that my umbrella would still be standing strong when I returned from a walk!!! The shade provided by the canopy is great! There is no floundering of the canopy even in heavy breezes. Sturdy sturdy sturdy! If you are in the market for a quality umbrella system which will last you many seasons at the beach, BEACH BUB IS FOR YOU! Another testament to how good this product is was that it exceeded every expectation that I had with beach umbrellas that I also felt compelled to contact BeachBub via email upon returning from my trip just to thank this company which is MADE IN THE USA, about how impressed I was with their product that they stand behind 100% Thank you again, BEACHBUB!

First, I own a condo at the beach in OC Maryland. I go to the beach frequently! I've had two other umbrellas since purchasing the condo 5 years ago. They both were damaged by wind and had to be replaced. You can buy the canvas umbrellas with the wooden pole for about $250-$300. These appear to be exactly like the ones that you can rent from the folks at the beach. I have seen these umbrellas come out of the sand in around 30 MPH winds, so I was looking for other options, and I did not want to spend that much money. I almost went with the canvas umbrella when I came across the BEACHBUB. I watched all of the videos and read a lot of the reviews on Amazon. Being an engineer, now retired, I was fascinated with the design of the BEACHBUB and very impressed innovative solution to ensure the umbrella will not blow away. Also, it appeared to be constructed from very sturdy materials to ensure the umbrella did not collapse or invert under wind pressure. So I purchased it. Went to the beach the last week of August. Used the umbrella. The first thing you notice is how well the umbrella is made. Very sturdy and made with high-quality materials. Secondly, how easy it is to set up. I did not use the tool to remove sand to insert the umbrella pole. Instead, I pushed it down to the indicated mark on the pole just by wiggling back and forth. Very easy to do. Filling the vynnl, triangular base up with sand took no time at all, but I used a small bucket instead of the shovel that was provided. After that, the BEACHBUB was rock solid!!! One day the wind kicked up to about 20-25 MPH. Not really high winds, but pretty high for other umbrellas. Most people had to take down their umbrellas. One time a person next to me had their umbrella blow away, which was quite dangerous. The BEACHBUB was barely moving in the wind!!! If I could give it 25 stars I would!!! I highly, highly recommend the BEACHBUB beach umbrella!!!!

I never ever write reviews.... yeah yeah yeah, you've heard it before. It is true though. I couldn't help it, I was so pleased with this purchase that I had to, so here it goes: Very easy to set up and take down, unbelievably sturdy in high winds on the east coast during hurricane Ernesto's approach. Beautifully made, and stitched, the entire system is made of high quality parts and materials. Even the bag is well designed and sturdy. The umbrella spars were very thick and the hat and towel hooks were so strong that they held a full backpack cooler at one point during the day, drinks and all. Other nearby umbrellas were collapsing, blowing away, flipping inside out, or forcing people to take them down for the day. Not the BUB. It stood perfectly straight and tall all day long, like a 100 year old oak tree, barely even wiggling in the wind. I was totally flabbergasted. I was sure that the strong winds would destroy any notions that I had of this thing holding up to the gusty onslaught, fully expecting disappointment. At the end of the day the umbrella was still standing, even laughing directly into the face of nature itself and all the while I was laughing at how glad I was for buying this thing before my trip. If you're looking for the perfect beach umbrella, don't bother looking at anything else, this is the one. I've spent years suffering with broken, flimsy, finicky systems that just made breezy days nothing but miserable. This is the best one I have ever used, period. No seriously, nothing comes close to this thing. I'd give it 10 stars if I could and I'll be buying several more.

This umbrella is the queen of the beach!!!!! I love it. And, I feel protected by the wind, when all the other umbrellas are flying. These stay still. I love the color RED. It's easy to set up. It does take a little while, but it's worth it. It brings so much shade on a sunny beach day. I also love that it comes with a shovel and directions. People are always stopping me for the name.

2024 update. Still using and luving my beach buns. If you are in Garden City Beach SC then you have seen these. This July 4th was one of the most windy weeks I can remember. By the end of the day mine and a few other bubs were the only ones standing. The customer service over the years has been exceptional. I can honestly say this company cares about its customers and stands behind their product. If you want to relax in the beach no matter what comes up. Get the system. It just works. Update:7/6/2016- After a week of sand and surf this thing is still rockin. We have had 20mph winds most every afternoon. No problem here. Lots of people wonderin why mine is still up. Yesterday lifeguard tower blew over in a gust. BeachBUB didn't flinch. Thought I could post a video but guess not. On my way to order another. I don't leave many reviews, but felt compelled to do so here.I am a professional beach contractor. I set up early and am there all day during the summer weekends. I have been hauling beach gear for 11 years now. Several years ago, our beach banned anything but single point of contact umbrellas. Thus begin my quest for the perfect umbrella. Suffering with $20-30 stuff that usually only last a season, I knew it was time to make an investment. I looked towards the style the beach service puts out. I found one here on Amazon made by Franklin. Ordered it upgraded with 8mm fiberglass ribs to ensure strength. Why? because of WIND. I have seen countless injury's and embarrassment from fly-aways and inversion. I want to come to the beach and relax, not panic everytime a breeze picks up. The Franklin performs well, and has proven itself. I set out to find another. Searching here I came across this product and was intrigued. Those of you that know, the market style of umbrella performs very well in pushing winds. The Franklin and others need to be slightly tilted in the direction to work effectively. beachBUB has continually improved their product. After asking for some addtional info I was shocked to learn that beachBUB upgraded from steel ribs to 10mm fiberglass ribs! Bring on the wind. Also no rust! I don't care how well painted sealed etc, after a season on the coast and being stored in the corrosive beach air, anything steel will rust. Here you have fiberglass. The pole? Aluminum. No ordinary pole size either, look at the pictures. They didn't stop there. There is a pin that locks the poles together. No chance of them being pulled apart. Love that it is attached and you don't have to hunt for it the next time. I have long stared at the plastic lever and clamp system wondering how long it would take to come apart. No worries here. The base was all setup right out of the box. Filled up and went up as expected. Everything you need is included. You can even add addtional weight with the included pole hooks. Get that beach bag out of the sand and hang it up! A huge bonus for me was the clearance under the umbrella. I could finally stand up in the shade. The others must be inserted so far that you are crouching most of the time. But the really huge selling point for me was the shade itself. The Franklin is nice, no question. Fade resistant fabric, heavy duty canvas,etc. However, when sitting underneath on a sunny day I could see light through the material. Not so with the beachBUB. Its coated and heavy duty. The system preformed well. I typically use a drill and auger to create the holes needed by most umbrellas to ensure they don't move. This system does away with all that creating a stable base and minimal penatration. Its ideal for my older parents who when I am not around, struggle with the setup of most umbrellas. This quick and easy system ensures that they can enjoy the shade with confidence, no matter what blows through. Thats one of the reasons I get to the coast early. Setup is usually time consuming. Now if I want to take a quick run I am only a minutes away from a safe setup. Take down was just as easy. No sand anchors locked to the poles by rust or sand. I will be purchasing another soon..... for the price you can't beat it.

Great beach umbrella! It is very simple to use, easy to carry, and quick to put up! The materials are durable and handled with care, should last a long time or many seasons at the beach! It complies with beaches that require umbrellas to sustain high winds. We bought a second one for additional shade...very happy with our purchases! Thank you!

Context is important here: I bought this umbrella as a gift for my 75-year old mother because I thought it would be easier for her to put up solo than a traditional beach umbrella. Spoiler: It is not. Because of the price point I was on high alert for value matching cost — a $170 beach umbrella better live up to the hype, right? So let's start by talking about what this umbrella DOES do. It does hold up in high winds. It does look cool and give other beachgoers the impression you have discretionary income. Now let's discuss what it DOESN'T do. It is not lightweight compared to similar products. Their marketing copy reads "...sand gopher tool to help you easily create a hole in the sand for your umbrella pole." This is not in fact easy. I am a 47-year old man in better than average physical condition, and the effort required to bore a 14" hole in the sand is equal to or greater than just digging a hole with a shovel. In terms of entrusting this to my mother, you have to squat or be on your knees to get the leverage necessary to bore into the sand, so that's not happening for her. What's more, knocking the "core sample" of compressed sand out of the gopher tool is not an intuitive process, and the thin aluminum tool dented the first time I tapped it against the umbrella pole to remove the sand. Over the course of the week I took to using the wooden handle of the tiny shovel provided to gently tap the side of the gopher and loosen the cylinder of sand inside. Which brings us to the tiny shovel. They recommend fifty shovelfuls to fill the de facto sandbag you're creating which is the anchor for the whole apparatus. Fifty. I just used my regular shovel. So in the end we have an attractive, over-engineered umbrella of standard weight and dimension with a few novel features — and a legitimate high wind tolerance — that takes an equal or greater amount of effort to set up than a typical beach umbrella. And bring your own shovel.

Yes. It’s a little big but the bag holds everything perfectly and it’s not very heavy. So easy to set up, my kids can do it. Other people’s umbrellas are flipping inside out or flying down the beach and mine stayed put and didn’t budge. Also, buy the cup holder. It’s so useful to keep your stuff out of the sand.

Excelente, muy fácil de armar
