Beach Umbrellas

[familyof3]

We are looking to purchase a good but fairly reasonable beach umbrella. Looking for something more than the ones at Wal-Mart unless the wal-marts down there have a higher quaity. Any recommendations. When we look it is hard to decide between, polyseter, vinyl or canvas those are pretty high and look to be like the vendors set up. I was thinking no more than 100$.

During season, Winn-Dixie, Publix, WalMart, etc. all sell nice "market umbrellas" for $59 or so -- wooden poles, canvas, sturdy, etc.. We get about two years use on each we buy -- and we get 3 or 4 for the back patio, the deck, and the dock. Haven't taken one on the beach yet as I go down there to get good and burnt, but we use them here at the house about 1/4 mile up from the beach, and they've held up very well.
