Beach Umbrella NZ: The Complete Guide to Stylish Shade

Why Every NZ Summer Needs a Beach Umbrella

New Zealand’s sunshine is iconic — but it’s also intense. A beach umbrella with UPF50+ protection is more than a convenience; it’s essential. The right umbrella keeps you cool, comfortable, and safe while you relax at the beach, in the park, or even in your own backyard.

At Beachkit, we create umbrellas that combine practical design, premium materials, and timeless style — shade you’ll love for seasons to come.

Choose the Right Size

The best umbrella size depends on how and where you’ll use it:

  • Daytripper (7ft) – Lightweight and portable, ideal for two people.

  • Sombrilla (8ft Classic Fringe) – Retro styling with generous coverage.

Match Your Style

Your umbrella isn’t just practical — it’s part of your summer look.

  • Classics Range (Navy, Yellow, Beige) – Elegant, timeless, resort-inspired.

  • Retro Sombrilla – Playful fringe, a touch of nostalgia.

  • Raffia Thatch Beach Umbrella – Tropical style, relaxing seaside

Prioritise Sun Protection

Not all umbrellas offer the same level of UV defence. The key is the UPF rating:

  • UPF50+ blocks more than 98% of harmful rays.

  • Every Beachkit umbrella meets this gold standard.

That means you can relax knowing your umbrella is doing its job while you enjoy the sun.

Built for NZ Conditions

Strong sun, salty air, and coastal breezes demand products that last. Look for:

  • Wind vents to reduce uplift.

  • Durable frames and poles for strength.

  • Carry bags for easy transport.

Beachkit umbrellas are made for NZ summers — robust yet stylish, and always easy to use.
