Proudly canadian
Travel Junkies!
The beach is in our DNA. We're a family of adventure travelers, nature lovers & outdoor enthusiasts. Our flagship product, the Suniela cabana, was invented on Canada's wild east coast, in Hubbards, Nova Scotia.
Mixing style with function - our outdoor gear is made to last! We've spent years refining our products & we regularly travel the world testing them in real-world outdoor conditions.
Our 100% Cotton canopies offer UPF 50+ sun protection - naturally - without any chemical treatments. Cotton is natural & breathable, providing a safe space that's cool and comfortable all day long.
At Suniela Beach, we believe natural is always better!

How do you pronounce 'Suniela'?
SUN-YELL-AH
Often imitated - never duplicated
Committed to making Original & Smart products
Our shade cabanas are shaking up the industry! Our original sun shelter models were invented way back in 1992, by two beach-loving sisters who were tired of struggling with the parasol. Fast-forward 20+ years and the next generation of shade sisters has brought the product back to market!
Our unique designs are patented internationally.
Occasionally we find imitations, made with cheap materials & often using our own photos to sell their counterfeit product. Genuine Suniela sun shelters have our branding everywhere, from our logo etched onto the poles to sewn-in labels & patches. Only genuine Suniela products can be assured of our Quality Guarantee.
All Suniela photos are genuine, with *real people* (& their fur babies! 🐾) sitting beneath.
making your beach days better since 2014
Entrepreneurship on the sand!
We started from the ground up - buying fabric from our local stores, sewing canopies at home, and selling them right on the sand of our local beaches.
Suniela Beach has been a labour of love, sweat, & sometimes tears😅 Every time you purchase from us, we really do a happy dance!
MADE WITH THE PLANET IN MIND
We believe that Natural is always Better!
We've spent years refining our supply chain.
From working with female artisans in Indonesia - small family businesses in India - graphic artists from Canada, Brazil & Europe, to our latest production partners in Shanghai; we pride ourselves on ethical production practices and using thoughtfully sourced materials.
We're continually working to improve our processes, from production to shipping materials, to leave the smallest footprint possible.
