A beach umbrella anchor with an integral shovel. The beach umbrella anchor has a central member with a handle at a first end and a shovel at a second end. An aperture is positioned in between the first end and the second end of the central member where a first end of a length of rope can be inserted and secured. A second end of the rope is then attached to a beach umbrella, which is planted in the ground. The shovel is used to dig a hole large enough to encompass the beach umbrella anchor, which is then buried within the hole. This securely anchors a beach umbrella such that it can stay in a desired position in windy conditions.
