INNOVATION MEETS THE BEACH

It all started in 2009 when our founder, Bill Schermerhorn, noticed a major problem as he was trying to enjoy a day at the beach. It was a sunny, windy day, when a sudden gust of wind launched a beach umbrella with a metal screw device down the beach. The umbrella struck and severely injured a young girl. Throughout the afternoon, as umbrellas continued to fly away, Bill began to consider how patio umbrellas work. The cousin of the beach umbrella, patio umbrellas always seem to stay in place. It occurred to him that patio umbrellas have a large, wide, heavy base attached to the bottom of the pole that prevents them from flying off in the wind. However, no one would want to carry a heavy base to and from the beach... but what if you could make the base small enough to transport and use the sand on the beach for the weight? Thus, the beachBUB was born. Read More »

Finally a beach umbrella that works

Compact, everything you need to put up the umbrella in a sturdy carrying bag. Had no problems in windy conditions. Stayed up while our other cheaper one broke. I now have 2 beachBUB umbrellas that I can happily use on windy days. Loving the 3 year warranty.

Looks like a winner

I really like the way it looks after unpacking, but I will give an updated review after beach trip. I've been dealing with beach umbrellas for about 40 plus years. Some have been better than others, but the wind is the great equalizer. We shall see!

Love it!

So happy I bought the Beach BUB beach umbrella. It is very well built and so easy to set up. It holds up in the wind better than any I have ever owned. It looks great, provides plenty of shade, and the carry bag is very roomy and well made! The sand gopher that was included at no charge makes a perfect 8" hole in the sand to place the pole in. I love this umbrella!

Amazing

I was looking for a great sun umbrella, and I have sure found one. We live in Australia and it was so easy to buy, it arrived in less than a week and looks the best on the beach. Very well built light and looks great, thank you Beachbub,could not be happier Yvonne Caldwell

Super Sturdy Beach Umbrella

Just used our new beachBub umbrella for a week at Hilton Head Island, S.C. It performed wonderfully. Set up and take down is so simple and quick, the umbrella withstood the winds and stability was never an issue. I only wish it were bigger in diameter. I have had bigger umbrellas that offered more shade but for the stability- this umbrella will not be beat!

Umbrella package

After purchasing several beach umbrellas that blew out on the Florida Gulf Coast I have to say that the beach bub was a good one. After a moments notice you can see the quality of the product. It performs as advertised and I have gifted several to friends.

The best in every way!

I was very amazed on how well this umbrella held up in the wind with no problems. It also provided a large amount of shade, unlike most beach umbrellas. This company has great customer service and fast shipping! I live in Hawaii and it only took a few days to arrive. I would definitely recommend the Beachbub:)!
