With Sunsail Shades, your don`t have to worry about lugging heavy gear across a boardwalk. They are light, compact, easy to carry, and a breeze for one person to setup! Most importantly, it keeps you cool and out of the sun! Sunsail Shades are large enough to easily accommodate six (6) chairs. Package includes 1) Sunsail Shade and 2) beach chairs. If you need additional chairs, they can be reserved when booking your room. We will have your beach canopy delivered to your room on your check in day.
