About SUN PLAY
Beach tents designed for parents, by parents!
Meet Ally Garrad: The Heart and Soul Behind SunPlay Australia
In the sun-drenched suburbs of Sydney, one local mum is on a mission to make outdoor adventures as enjoyable and worry-free as possible for families across Australia. Ally Garrad, a devoted mother and passionate entrepreneur, has turned her personal experiences into a successful venture that brings joy, safety, and convenience to beach outings. Her journey with SunPlay Australia is both inspiring and heartfelt, driven by her love for her children and a resolve to protect them from the harmful rays of the sun.
A Mother’s Dedication
As a mother, Ally understands the immense joy of spending sun-soaked days at the beach with her kids. However, her journey is not without its challenges. Living through the traumatic experience of skin cancer within her family opened her eyes to the dangers of sun exposure, especially for little ones. This personal battle solidified her commitment to providing Australian families with the safest beach experiences possible.
“I would like nothing more than to help other families enjoy the outdoors free from the worry of the sun’s harmful rays,” Ally shares passionately. This desire ultimately inspired her to launch SunPlay Australia, a brand dedicated to creating beach tents that prioritize UV protection without sacrificing style and ease of use.
SunPlay Australia: Where Adventure Meets Safety
Imagine a beach tent so beautifully designed that you can set it up and pack it down with just one hand. Picture carrying it effortlessly in a lightweight backpack that can fit not only the tent but also your towels, water bottles, and cozzies. With SunPlay Beach Tents, this dream is now a reality! Each tent boasts a 99+ UV certification, ensuring excellent UV protection for those long days by the shore.
Ally’s vision was to make outdoor adventures easier for everyone, and she’s accomplished just that. SunPlay beach tents are crafted to stand up sturdy against the wind, allowing families to enjoy the beach without worrying about their shelter blowing away. Whether it’s for napping, snacking, or changing, each tent fully encloses to provide a cozy space that feels private yet connected to the great outdoors.
Designed with Families in Mind
When you choose SunPlay Australia, you’re choosing a product that has been thoughtfully designed with families at its core. Each tent features large windows and doors for optimal airflow, keeping you cool and comfortable throughout the day. And who says parents can’t be trendy? With four stunning designs, Ally ensures that style never takes a backseat to function.
But the success of SunPlay Australia is not just due to its practical features. The tents have garnered prestigious awards, including “Best Beach Tents in Australia” and the “People's Choice Award – No. 1 Best Beach Tent for Mothers!” These accolades reflect the collective love and appreciation from families that have found solace and safety under these tents.
Continuing the Legacy of Family Fun
Ally Garrad’s story is one of resilience, love, and an unwavering commitment to her children and the families of Australia. Her dedication to creating products that enhance outdoor experiences aligns perfectly with her vision of making it possible for everyone to relish the beauty of the Australian beaches without fear.
As you pack your bags for your next beach day, consider adding a SunPlay Beach Tent to your essentials. It’s more than just a tent; it’s a safe haven for memories, laughter, and family connections safely under the Australian sun.

Let customers speak for us
This tent was easy for me to put together and pack down by myself at the beach. Gave my 4month old a nice cool shady spot to sleep :)
Spacious, lightweight, easy to setup and pack away. I love everything about this tent specially the bag it comes with. Fast shipping and worth the purchase!
The beach tent arrived in nice packaging. As described, it is very easy to pop up and put down. We love the backpack. It's perfect for our family of 4
We have used beach shelters for around 40 years and this is the easiest to put up and gives plenty of sun protection. Initially, we had some difficulties in the first step of packing up, but I think we have sorted it out now. The carry bag makes it so easy to take to the beach. A suggestion for improvement would be making it easier to empty the sand from the pockets. Overall very happy with our purchase.
Super sturdy and easy to set up!
We live 500m from the beach and are there every other day with our two little ones. I’m not exaggerating when I say we’ve tried at least 8-10 other tents. This wins hands down. Can set up in a minute, no bored kids waiting for the water. Forgot the pegs? No drama fill the sand bags! Perfect size for two adult beach chairs and the kids to sit in. But the best thing is the backpack carry bag, enough room for towels, change of clothes and a wet bag. Such a simple thing that makes life with kids so much easier!
I am extremely impressed by the attention to detail and customer service of Sunplay Australia. I bought a tent on Dec 13th hoping for it to arrive before Christmas. I emailed Sunplay on Wednesday December 20th as the status of my package with Australia Post had still not changed from 'ready for processing' and I was getting worried. I received a very timely response that same evening from Ally stating that unfortunately the package was not registered with the post office and she would organise for it to be express posted the next morning. It arrived on Friday 22nd (the last shipping day prior to Christmas) and I was extremely grateful. My father loves his new replacement for the SunHaven he's been using since the 90s! Thank you so much Sunplay :)
The Seabreeze Beach Tent is incredibly user-friendly. I can set it up all by myself in just a few minutes. Perfect for solo beach outings!
My kids stayed safe from the sun all day. Impressive!
I love how portable and lightweight this tent is. I can carry and set it up on my own without any hassle, making my beach days much easier for Mum.
Love the convenience of the carry bag. Portable and easy.
The Seabreeze Beach Tent pops up quickly and folds away efficiently. Doing it alone is never an issue, which is fantastic for solo adventurers with my daughter.
The Seabreeze beach shade is our go-to for hot days at the beach. It provides excellent shade and ventilation, keeping us cool and comfortable all day long.
The quality of the materials used in the Sunchaser beach tent is outstanding. It’s durable and well-constructed, easily withstanding our frequent beach trips with kids and friends.
I bought this tent prepared to return it because I've been fooled by the "easy set up and pack down" gimmick before. HOWEVER! This tent is 10/10. It's blowing my mind how easy it is. Just set it up and packed it down in the house to test it out and I'm amazed at how easy it is. Great product, so glad I invested in something with more quality. One point is that the instructions just say to fold the outer pole when packing up, but you actually have to pull it a little bit before folding (which is very easy but not in the instructions). Can't wait to be able to easily get out in the garden again with the baby.
