Beach parasols are large sun protection structures, similar to umbrellas, but they're much larger. They're circular, giving the most coverage at the center. Parasols are usually 6 to 10 feet in diameter and come in a variety of colors. They can be used to cover a chair or umbrella, or they can serve as storage for beach gear.
A good beach umbrella provides shade while still allowing some breeze to flow through. A fancier one will have windows on one side or the ability to open the arch. These types of beach shelters provide more space than a parasol and offer privacy. They also last longer than a parasol. Buying a beach umbrella does not guarantee you the perfect fit, but they will give you the shade you need.
