Stay "cool for the summer" with The CoolCabana, two Simple Modern 40 oz. Trek Tumblers in white.

The CoolCabana 5 reimagines what a beach shade can be. No need to worry about your umbrella flying down the beach, not having enough shade, or overheating in an enclosed shelter. A large CoolCabana provides more than double the shade. A large beach umbrella is typically 6ft in diameter, which provides 28ft of shade, less than half of the 64ft of shade from a large CoolCabana.
