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.

I really love my new beach shelter. So quick and easy to set up, I even packed it up when a southerly wind hit; still did it on my own with no difficulty. I love the back pack, it makes it so easy to carry. It's really lightweight and the side pockets fit all my bits and pieces. Well worth paying that extra money to get a beautiful, good quality, easy to use product.
I recently purchased for a beach holiday. Absolutely love it. Light weight. Super easy to use. Looks fab!
After having multiple other beach tents break within months this one seems to be of much better construction and design. I have used it three times already and it is very easy to unpack and pack away.
Great sand free beach towels that have washed well and great quality. They have been great in our beach tent and the sand doesn’t stick to them. Highly recommend.
Very simple to setup, instructions could be a little clearer about the clips that support the tent holding the frame at the top. Collapsing is quite easy as well. Definitely wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this for any beach goers.
1. BEST SELLER - SUNPLAY Australia Beach Tent (Sea Breeze) - with Free Backpack
Further to my previous review where I was so disappointed I am now very happy this problem has been rectified and my order has been received by express post .
Ally was fantastic in resolving the problem so very happy now
The easiest and most spacious tent I've ever used. So easy to pop up and put down when I'm by myself with the kids. Lots of space and compartments that come in handy also. Very lightweight to carry on back with the backpack too I forgot I was wearing it at one stage
3 person sunshade excellent for beach or camping
I had been researching for months prior to summer as my hubby cannot sit in direct sunlight and I love to go to the beach together. It’s very easy to put up. Super large! My hubby can comfortably relax and snooze. 99 UV protection was the main reason I chose it! Also Love the back pack with extra pockets for storage. It’s absolutely perfect!
Fabulous beach/picnic shelter for Aussie sun!
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!
