The summer sun gives no respite. Even in the Atlantic Coast, recognized by the almost permanent presence of wind, the heat can become unbearable if there is no means of protection. Therefore, there is no one who goes down to the arena without being prepared. But far beyond the classic umbrella and even of the gazebos that have been so present for several years, this season some other ways to cover yourself from the sun are beginning to surprise.
The carp reversal
Perhaps the pioneers have been those of the North American brand Neso. These are super simple and light tents, which are held up thanks to bags filled with sand or stones at the ends and two rods in the center. They can be assembled in just minutes and are made of fabric with sun protection and waterproof. They are available in all kinds of colors and also in various prints.
In Argentina, the Outdoors Professional brand also sells them. Their “Sun Shade Air Tent” model is offered in vibrant colors and is made of a super resistant 180 gram lycra fabric. It has capacity for up to four people and is 3×3 meters.
“We bought it to come to the beach this summer and the truth is that we are very happy. It assembles very easily and is very light. It even resists strong wind,” describes Marina Blini from the sand of Costa Esmeralda, a private neighborhood near Pinamar, an area where this implement began to appear strongly this season. Theirs is an imitation of the Neso made by a local brand in a turquoise that does not go unnoticed.
like a nest
Punta del Este, meanwhile, displays sophistication even in matters of seeking shade. This is demonstrated by the lapacho capsules arches that he installed the Aura hostelbrand new opening of this season.
About stop 22 of La Bravacan be rented for the whole day and allow you to shelter from the sun and enjoy chef Alan Solnicki’s creations inside, which range from specialty coffee and drinks to tapas (highlights include truffled potatoes and grilled silverside with green sauce), sandwiches, salads and various desserts and sweet snacks.
They fit between four and six people and have chairs and a bunk bed. With ventilation and a teak roof that can be turned by hand as the sun rotates, everything in these creations seems to be designed to generate a kind of perfect shelter. Although there is a no small detail to access it: it costs US$ 400 to make it your own for one day. A price that seems in line with the European standards that the east coast usually displays and that this 2024 has not been the exception either.
