COOLCABANA 5 - Heatwave by Mitchell English
Local Noosa artist Mitchell English brings his signature sun-drenched beach scenes to CoolCabanas.
Our Mitchell English Collaboration is available in size Large only. 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.
- UPF 50+ protection
- 5.8㎡ of shade (Large)
- Folds down to 97cm (Medium) and 105cm (Large)
- Sand pockets provide 16kgs to keep you on the beach
How does this compare to a large beach umbrella?
A large CoolCabana provides more than double the shade. A large beach umbrella is typically 2m in diameter, which provides 3.1m2 of shade, close to half of the 5.8m2 of shade from a large CoolCabana.
Always use a CoolCabana in combination with the five sun-safe habits: seek shade, wear sun-protective clothing, a brimmed hat, and wrap-around sunglasses, and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen.

I am so happy with my CoolCabana purchase! It is the perfect size for my family of four and the quality is great! The best part of the CoolCabana was how easy and fast it was to set up on the beach! I was able to put it up by myself in 2 minutes, and to take it down was even faster! This was honestly one of the best purchases I've ever made for something that will be useful for my family for years to come.

This was a gift to our sons family they love the beach. I am at Block Island with my family. We are dedicated beach people, We arrive early with supplies for the day. Our Coolcabana is such a pleasure to use. Assembly is so easy. So easy to transport and great quality. We are pleased with the shade it provides for our group, 5-7 family members depending on the day. Some folks in the water, some sunbathing while others take to the shade under the cabana. I would highly recommend it to any one who loves the beach
Designed with both functionality and style in mind, CoolCabanas are the ultimate solution for families and beachgoers who want to enjoy long, relaxing days by the sea without the hassle.
Built For Beach Lovers
Protect your skin
Shade For Everyone
With 5.8m² (Large) or 4m² (Medium) of shade, you'll never be curled up for shade again.
Easy, One-person Setup
When designing the CoolCabana, it was extremely important to us that one person could set it up.
I love my CoolCabana. It's stylish (like something you'd see at a European beach club), easy to transport and assemble, doesn't block ocean views, isn't noisy, and won't blow away with a large gust of wind. And then there's this: it's never too early to introduce kids to sun protection. Having them fill the pockets with sand is a great (and fun!) way to start.
Spacious without an offensive footprint, the CoolCabana doesn't block views of the ocean, stayed super sturdy on windy days and couldn't be easier to assemble and take down, even for one person.
The CoolCabana has a patented design that makes it super easy to fold, carry, and assemble. The canopy accomodates up to four adults but is light enough for just one to carry.
Accessories
Complete your Setup
Setup as easy as 1, 2, 3
- Tap the sand spike into the sand
- Place your CoolCabana on the center pole
- Open an arm, fill its sand pocket, and repeat

I used this for the first time last week. I was alone, having lost my husband 10 weeks ago. It was easy to erect and collapse despite it being 😢. I love the shade it affords me as I burn easily being a person of colour. I just wish I could have had one of your recliner chairs to add to the set up.
