please help me find a STURDY beach tent!!

i was at the beach today and my nice large umbrella fell apart in the wind Chat Icon i was planning on using it next week when i bring DS to the beach.

now i'm thinking i'll just get a cabana/tent type thing that closes in on 4 sides since i'll probably get a lot of use out of it--preferably one with a floor.

i checked one step ahead but the only one they had had some iffy reviews and no floor.

anyone know a store or website where i can buy one that is sturdy and won't blow away in the wind?

while we're at it, do you know where i can get a STURDY beach umbrella that won't rip apart? the one i had was from CVS--never again!

I have a beach tent that I got from Babies R US and I like it. You can load these little flaps on three of the sides with sand so it doesnt blow away. Also I got my beach umbrella from BJs.

I have a Rio cabana tent. It's not closed in (which you might not want anyway since it gets hot in those). It has a floor and great coverage and it worked great until it started blowing away on me. I could never get the stakes in the sand good enough. The beach we went to last Summer was ALWAYS windy though.
