I'm generally up with the sun so I go ahead and set up our two EZ-Ups along with several chairs for our tribe. I pretty much have it down to a science at this point after many years of practice. Plus I'm usually rewarded with spectacular views of the sunrise. Then I usually have time for a morning nap before everybody else is up and about. When we collectively decide it's time to strike camp, everybody chips in so I'm ahead of the curve there. Couple of unique aspects for me. My wife, who is typically much more sociable -- and frankly more pleasant -- than I am in general cannot stand to have anyone near us when we're on the beach. We also make a point to stay as far away from public access points as possible. So the early morning setup is as much about staking out territory as anything else. This is a major changeup from our usual routine and outlook. I'm the one who generally hates crowds (for example Mrs. Fiji absolutely loves Times Square whereas it gives me a serious case of the heebie jeebies). But I don't mind company on the beach as long as folks aren't stacked on top of one another. I'm intrigued by the Shabumi but the expense and my need for dependable shade/sun screening (I have some issues with melanoma) have kept me in the EZ-Up tribe. Mrs. Fiji also doesn't like the flapping noise associated with them -- although I've observed that their footprint and need for occasional repositioning would aid in her imperial quest for more territory.
