AMMSUN Beach Umbrella Reviewed in 2025

AMMSUN Beach Umbrella for Perfect, Sunny Beach Days

The AMMSUN Beach Umbrella is one of the most popular beach umbrellas.  Designed for use at the beach, your backyard, garden, patio, or any outdoor setting, it delivers ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) 50+ protection. Essentially, it blocks 98% of the sun’s UV rays.

While it cannot stand up to too much wear and tear, it is pretty durable for its price and budget build. It has an air-vent design and fiberglass ribs that help against light breezes. While it has a sand anchor, we do recommend adding a sturdier anchor if you’re regularly on the beach in breezy conditions. It also features a tilt mechanism that allows you to adjust the canopy’s angle for optimal sun protection.

Let’s find out more about these features, and discuss the pros and cons of the AMMSUN Beach Umbrella.

AMMSUN Beach Umbrella Top Features

1. It provides UPF 50+ protection.

While this beach umbrella is truly multi-purpose and can be used anywhere, it was primarily designed for beach use. It can block 98% of the sun’s UV rays, offering UPF 50+ protection for your skin.

Essentially, it is ideal for hanging out on the beach during summer when the sun is scorching hot. Make sure you also use some sunscreen! If you opt for the 7-foot size, the canopy is quite large, offering beach shade for more than one person.

2. It has an air-vent design.

The AMMSUN 7’ Beach Umbrella has an air-vent design facilitating airflow to help keep it stable when you get some light wind.

3. It comes with an aluminum pole, fiberglass ribs, and a sand anchor.

This beach umbrella’s aluminum pole and fiberglass ribs give it a lightweight construction, making it easy to carry. It comes with a separate, foldable sand anchor.

To anchor the AMMSUN Beach Umbrella, first, you need to take out the iron tube and insert it into the sand anchor. Hold both ends of the tube and screw it clockwise, downward into the sand.

The deeper the sand anchor is buried, the sturdier this beach umbrella will stand. A bucket of seawater poured into the anchor point may also help.

Once you are satisfied with how deep it is buried, you can pull out the tube and remove the beach umbrella screw. Then insert the lower part of the aluminum pole into the sand anchor.

4. It offers a tilt mechanism.

This beach umbrella is engineered with a two-way tilt mechanism and a tilt push button to adjust it quickly. You can keep yourself covered from the sun throughout the day without having to move the umbrella, thanks to this tilt function.

What we like about the AMMSUN Beach Umbrella

The AMMSUN Beach Umbrella provides protection from the sun for more than one person.

If you are looking for a beach umbrella suitable for 2-3 people, the AMMSUN 7-foot Beach Umbrella will give you enough shade.

Furthermore, it provides UPF 50+ protection, keeping your skin safe from the damaging effects of the sun’s UV rays. Thanks to its tilt mechanism, you can quickly adjust the angle to obtain optimal coverage with a single push of a button.

This beach umbrella is user-friendly.

Another good thing we love about this beach umbrella is that it is quite easy to use. Even if you have no experience assembling and anchoring beach umbrellas, you can set it up pretty quickly. You can easily insert the aluminum pole in the sand anchor. If you want to adjust the canopy’s angle, all you have to do is push the button.

The AMMSUN Beach Umbrella is portable.

Since the AMMSUN Beach Umbrella is intended for multiple purposes and not only for beach use, it is portable. You can carry it without difficulties even if you need to walk a ways to reach your destination, thanks to its lightweight profile and carry bag.

What we don’t like about the AMMSUN Beach Umbrella

Burying the iron tube into the sand can be challenging.

If it is your first time using a sand anchor and assembling a beach umbrella, you might find it challenging to bury this beach umbrella’s sand anchor into the sand using the iron tube.

It may require some effort at first, but once you get used to it and find the right rhythm, it will get easier each time. Remember to handle the sand anchor with care because it might break easily if you apply too much pressure.

The colors of the actual beach umbrella tend to look different from photos.

When buying the AMMSUN Beach Umbrella, manage your expectations carefully. It is available in different colors and you can browse various photos online, but these colors may look slightly different in person. But as long as it gives you shade, it may not matter which shade it comes in.

Beach umbrellas with aluminum poles are not the most long lasting.

Aluminum poles on beach umbrellas are not the strongest and can bend and snap with too much force. So you will have to take care when using a sand anchor or if the wind picks up on your beach day.

Do We Recommend it?

We recommend the AMMSUN Beach Umbrella for light use on good weather days. While it was the sturdiest budget umbrella we tested, it is still made with lower quality materials which have a limit to what they can withstand. If you are looking for a beach umbrella that can withstand heavy winds you should consider the BEACHBUB All-In-One or the SportBrella SuperBrella beach umbrellas.

The AMMSUN Beach Umbrella has a UPF 50+ rating, blocking 98% of harmful UV rays to protect your skin while you are outdoors. With its two-way tilt mechanism, you can quickly adjust the angle for optimal coverage from the sun without having to move from one place to another.

With these key beach umbrella features, the AMMSUN Beach Umbrella is a portable, multi-purpose sun shade at an affordable price.
