How does this do on a windy beach?

It works well as long as your or your stuff is inside. like any tent or structure wind will have an effect. It's a solid item, we use it all the time with our 1 year old.

I brought this to the beach on Cape Cod on a super windy day and it was fine. It comes with stakes to put in the sand that keep it in place well.

I have it placed in my yard so it does not get direct wind. We have had wind gust up to plus 30 mph and have had no problems. I made 4 stake out of 3/8 x 2ft rebar and placed them on the corners with no tie downs. If you are going to place it in direct wind I would plan on getting bigger stakes and tie down line. The frame looks like it will hold up to high wind. Hope this answer your question.

I set mine up on a concrete patio to see if I could fit my tent underneath it and it seemed to work o.k. like that. I don't know if it would withstand any wind to speak of, though.

Not sure about the beach specifically, but on windy days where we use him, anything over 10-15+ mph, we have to bring him in. Does not work well in windy conditions.

Moderate wind. Mine has never fallen over and I leave it on a table on the deck during the worst of storms. But I would imagine if we had a strong tropical storm it would probably tip over.

Haven't used it outdoors. But based on experience I wouldn't expect it to remain stable in even the slightest breeze. Think one could blow on it and make it move

It has stakes for use on grass, but it also has pockets on the side that you can add sand into while on the beach. I had no trouble with it in the wind on the beach in Destin.

I only used it once this past summer but we loved it! Material is very similar to a tent. It's just not good one a windy beach day.

I've had this umbrella over six months with almost daily use for sun protection, and live just a few miles from the coast in Southern California. It gets very windy here. The umbrella does great in wind compared to others I've had. There are wind vents, and a strap at the end of the handle (which is kind of awkward in shape but I've gotten used to it), that you can have around your wrist as an extra precaution to keep it in your grasp. Recommending it for windy areas.

My husband and I are in our late 60's and we use ours to get to and from shore when anchored out. We have found it stable in climbing to it from our 19 foot old Glasply and the reverse. Have not used it when really windy.

The umbrella has a sand auger on the bottom. We had no trouble at the beach with the umbrella staying in place even with moderate winds.

I've only set it up once and it never experienced what I would call strong winds. It did perform admirably in the light breeze that night after I tied it down with the included rope and stakes.

It should be fine the breeze should move through with no problems. I'm going to be doing exactly that camping on the beach in about a month so will know better when I return.

There are stakes that come with it and pockets to put sand in on the beach. It does very well in the wind.

In regards to windy conditions, please see my 2013 review by CWH on Amazon. I haven't used this item during any windy conditions. I do not feel comfortable that it would sustain heavy winds. As for securing the umbrella in the sand, I don't think the stakes that come with the umbrella will suffice.

It is ridiculously light; it will blow away in a gentle breeze and if it's well anchored it will blow away in a stiff wind. I don't think I would take it to the seashore.

I haven't used it in heavy winds, but it feels pretty darned sturdy to me! This is a great umbrella.
