Swim Shady's Viral Beach Shade Gains Popularity Among Summer Travelers in the US and Europe

SYDNEY, NSW, AUSTRALIA, June 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- With summer in full swing, Swim Shady, an Australian-designed compact and lightweight beach shade, is gaining attention worldwide. The product is designed for modern beachgoers seeking convenient sun protection and is suited for US coastlines and European destinations this season.

To coincide with the start of summer, this portable, solo beach shade has amassed over 2.7 million views on TikTok over the past two weeks, attracting interest from travelers planning their summer breaks in the US and Europe.

Inspired by the all-too-relatable struggle with bulky and inconvenient beach umbrellas
Swim Shady’s founders, Jeremy Scott and Elizabeth Afrakoff, designed a shade that is lightweight (under 2kg), compact enough to fit into swim bags or luggage and offers UPF 50+ sun protection. The shade is made from sustainable RPET fabric, combining practicality with eco-conscious materials.

Jeremy Scott, Co-Founder, Swim Shady, comments, “We knew there was a real gap for a smarter, more stylish beach shade - and the response has been incredible. Hitting more than two million views in just one week shows Swim Shady has struck a chord with users worldwide. People want simplicity and convenience, and that’s exactly what we set out to create. It’s amazing to see Swim Shady resonating around the world - just in time for summer."


Changing European Beach Laws
Several European countries have recently introduced regulations requiring that a portion of the beaches remain publicly accessible, leading travelers to seek portable shade options to avoid fees charged by private beach clubs. Swim Shady offers a solo-setup solution designed for easy transport and an open-air feel, which suits exploration of Europe's coastlines.


Travel Companion
For travelers chasing warmer weather or managing international beach logistics, Swim Shady aims to simplify the experience by offering a lightweight, compact alternative to renting or carrying traditional bulky beach umbrellas.
