Amazon shoppers rush to buy ‘handy' beach tent in £21 deal – perfect for the seaside in the UK heatwave
Preparing for a beach day? Amazon's got you covered with a discounted seaside essential.
In the final hours of Amazon Prime Day, the Beach Shelter with UV Protection has been cut down from £26.97 to £21.14, saving 22% off.
The latest heatwave has hit the UK, and many of us are thinking about how to spend our weekends.
If facing the sweltering temperatures inside the house isn't appealing, seaside trips are a popular way to beat the heat.
Heading to the cool sea for the day can provide a much-needed escape - however a beach tent is a must, especially if you've got young children.
The Beach Shelter from Amazon comes in a carry bag that's easy to throw in the car and take with you, plus it's lightweight.
The whole tent is waterproof and has UV protection to avoid harmful rays, but there's also mesh inside to keep air flowing through.
The clever design has sandbags on each side, which can be filled on arrival to ensure the tent stays in place - but the six steel stakes also help secure it.
There are handy features inside too, including a hanging hook to attach a light or fan to, and also storage pockets for any essentials you need on hand - like sun cream and sunglasses.
Unlike abroad, many of our beaches aren't equipped with loungers and shady umbrellas, but a beach tent can provide shade and respite from the heat.
Usually costing under £30 but now for even less, it's not hard to see why the beach tent has made it into Amazon's bestsellers.
Hundreds of shoppers have already put their Beach Shelter to good use, leaving feedback on their experiences.
One shopper said: ''Compact and easy to erect, can be done in a couple of minutes.''
Large enough for a small family with enough room for an adult to get changed in.''
''Easily fits into the handy carry case that is small enough to fit inside a beach bag with room to spare.''
Another shopper commented: ''Kept the sun out and deflected the wind.''
''Very lightweight and perfect size for two or even three people.''
Trips to the beach aren't complete without a cool box, and this Coleman Performance 30 QT Kühler 28L reduced from £55.99 to £40 is ideal for picnics.
If you have a garden, you don't have to travel far to have fun, and a paddling pool could be a timely school holiday buy. Amazon has an Intex paddling pool slashed to £16.
