With an incredible increase in coastal tourism, popularity of beach accessories has multiplied tenfold times. Today, whenever the urban population thinks of vacation, "beach" is what comes to their minds. According to a recent press release, the proportion of beach-oriented tourists in Florida (US) has increased from 32% in 2000 to about 36% in 2003. Moreover, it has been learnt that over one-third of Florida's out-of-state tourists visit the state's seashores during the 75 million trips they make annually. More the number of seashore tourists - more is the demand for consumer luxury items such as beach chairs, picnic backpacks, cabanas, and so forth. While talking about holiday utilities, we realize that a beach canopy has emerged to be a hot seashore accessory. Whether you are in SoBe (Miami) or Cape Hatteras (Outer Banks, North Carolina), a beach canopy is something you get to see everywhere. These makeshift structures are even being used for a picnic by the countryside or an outing to open farmlands in US. Basic advantages of beach canopies The primary benefit that you derive from a beach canopy is that it blocks a maximum amount of UV (ultra violet) rays from the sun, but at the same time allows sufficient ventilation. The fabrics used in these items can be made from coated nylon with conveniently adjustable tension straps - this enables you to adjust the size of these shelters as per your requirements. Finally, canopy poles are usually made of a heavy duty material and are shock-proof. They can withstand tough weather conditions and are mostly rust-free - so, you can really vouch for the durability of these luxury utilities. A beach canopy can come in the form of a tripod structure, thus they are easily assembled. The present-day canopies are stronger, but can be made very light and portable (you might be lucky to find one weighing only 11 lbs.), so that tourists do not have a problem carrying these items. A modern beach canopy features a 'pop-up and take-down' setup which always ensures that you spend more time enjoying your relaxation - putting up the shelter hardly takes any time. Besides traditional cabanas, canopy beach chairs have also become quite popular throughout US and other parts of Europe.
