What is the Sunsha?

The Sunsha is a personal, portable beach shade, handmade in Portugal, that protects one person's face and head from direct sun. Learn more on the What is the Sunsha? page.

Does the Sunsha protect from the sun?

The fabric has UPF50+ protection and reduces direct exposure on the face and head. For complete protection, always combine the Sunsha with sunscreen and suitable clothing for the rest of the body.

Does the Sunsha protect the whole body?

No. The Sunsha protects the face and head, the most exposed areas. For the rest of the body, always use sunscreen and suitable clothing.

Is the Sunsha hard to set up?

No. It sets up easily and quickly, with no tools. The intuitive design lets you open and adjust the shade without any fuss.

How much does the Sunsha weigh and what are its dimensions?

It weighs about 980 g. Folded, it's compact (about 39 x 40 x 7 cm) and fits easily in a beach bag or backpack. Set up, its height rises to about 40 cm, with an adjustable shade area.

Is the Sunsha wind-resistant?

The Portuguese wooden frame and the design help keep it stable even on windy days. In strong wind, we recommend anchoring the base firmly in the sand.

What is the Sunsha made of?

Of wood, UPF50+ fabric and hardware of Portuguese origin, handcrafted in our atelier in Portugal.

Can I choose the colour or model?

Yes. There are 9 models, each with its own design inspired by a Portuguese beach: Arrábida, Caparica, Cascais, Comporta, Ericeira, Guincho, Nazaré, Sagres and Sintra. See them all in the catalogue.

How do I care for the Sunsha?

Shake off the sand, let it air-dry in the shade, and store it in a dry place. That keeps it looking good and ready for your next trip to the beach.

What are the shipping costs?

Free shipping to Portugal and Europe on orders over €50. For orders under €50 and to the rest of the world, the cost is calculated automatically at checkout based on the destination and the weight of the order.

What is the return policy?
