We've all seen or experienced the frustration: the wrestling match with a flimsy pop-up shelter that refuses to fold, or the complicated mess of poles on a windy beach. The Land & Sea Pop-Up Beach Tent is the intelligent solution, engineered with a central hub and pull-cord system for a genuinely fast, hassle-free setup and an even simpler pack-down.
A Note From Our Local Experts
"I've personally owned a few of these tents over the years, especially when my kids were younger—it was a Godsend for the local Kiama beaches and when we'd take them down to Green Patch in Jervis Bay for a snorkelling session. I rate this tent highly for the quick and convenient set up and pack away, and it fits straight in the boot of my car without a worry.
We even took the tent to the Kiama harbour fireworks on the grass for many years to keep our gear somewhere and ourselves out of the slight breeze. If you check out our embedded video, that's me giving a demonstration on just how easy it is to set up the Land and Sea Beach Tent."

Pro-Tips for Your Pop-Up Tent
- Effortless Pack-Down Technique: Forget frustrating folding. To collapse the tent, simply locate the mechanism under the central hub inside and pull downwards. The legs will release their tension, folding inwards for an easy pack-away.
- Face the Wind: When setting up on a windy day, position the tent so the back of the tent (not the opening) is facing into the breeze. This allows the wind to flow over the shelter, improving stability.
- Fill Sand Pockets Properly: For maximum hold, overfill the sand pockets with damp sand. Damp sand is much heavier and will anchor the tent more securely than dry, loose sand.
- Shake Out Sand Before Packing: Before you fold the tent, turn it on its side and give it a good shake to remove as much sand as possible. This keeps your car cleaner.

Frequently Asked Questions
How easy is it *really* to fold this tent back up? I've struggled with other pop-up tents.
This is where the Land & Sea tent excels. Unlike the common pop-up tents that require a confusing 'figure-eight' twist, this model has a simple release mechanism. You just pull down on the hub from inside, and the legs collapse, allowing you to fold it easily. It's a much more user-friendly and reliable system.
Will this beach tent actually stay put in a decent afternoon sea breeze?
Yes. The combination of the external sand pockets and the included pegs makes it very secure. By filling the pockets with damp sand and using the pegs, the tent is designed to handle the typical windy conditions found on Australian beaches.
What level of sun protection does the fabric provide?
The Land & Sea Pop-Up Tent provides the highest possible rating of UPF 50+, which is essential for the strong Australian sun. It blocks over 98% of harmful UV radiation.
Is the tent fabric waterproof for rain?
The material is water-resistant and will protect you from a brief, light shower. However, it's primarily designed as a sun shelter, not a fully waterproof camping tent, so it isn't recommended for use in heavy or persistent rain.
How many people can comfortably fit inside? Can two adults sit in chairs?
It's perfectly sized for two adults sitting in low-slung beach chairs or for two or three small children to play in. The generous floor space provides plenty of room to relax out of the sun.
Is the floor material durable enough for rocky or grassy areas?
Yes, the floor is made from a durable material that can handle a variety of surfaces. While it's perfect for sand, it's also tough enough for picnics in the park or for setting up on the grass beside a river, making it a versatile shelter.
