This cabana is perfect for camping, not primarily as a tent, though you could use it as a tent on a warm night. It's perfect for use at the beach - the ocean or a lake, when it's too sunny to be exposed to the sunlight for those of us that are not genetically designed for more than 10 minutes of exposure. The windows and the front opening allow the cool breezes to flow through, and it's large enough to put a couple of beach chairs inside. You can enjoy looking out onto the lake or the ocean without sand blowing in your face or getting fried by the rays of the sun. My dog enjoys snoozing in the tent while the sea breeze keeps him cool. It's very easy for one person to put up, as well.

This pop up is so versatile, and easy to use! There are many reasons we love it.

Size: Folds up super small into a light weight bag, but when opened it's bigger than it looks.
(if you have one of those circular car windshield reflects that folds up, this does so the same way)
It's more than just a sunshade for 2, we had two adults and two kids under it, without a problem.

Privacy: If you need to change in public...which happens more than I realize, then both sides can come up.
If you want breeze or extra flooring, both sides go down so you can relax in the grass or wherever.
*The floor will also come out totally if you want to lay on the sand.

Security: The beach can be windy, this stakes down quickly and no problem. Window flaps can come up and down easily as well. It also gives the kids a great target for how to find us when they run off down the beach or park or wherever.

We should have bought one years ago. It is so lightweight, it'll probably stay in the trunk of the car every spring and summer. Great product, well made, it's already saved us all from a few sunburns and many more in the future!
