A sunshade and corresponding canopy inclination adjustment mechanism are provided. The sunshade includes a canopy support structure and the inclination adjustment mechanism. The support structure includes a pair of support rods having a length axially extending between a base and a top end, a pair of coupling assemblies respectively connected to the top end of one of the support rods, and a canopy frame including a frame member having opposed end portions pivotally connected to a corresponding one of the coupling assemblies, the canopy being supported at least partially by the canopy frame. The inclination adjustment mechanism is adapted to adjust the angle of the canopy and includes an actuator, attached to the support structure, and including a rod engagement member operatively connected to the frame member. whereby operation of the actuator engages the frame member in pivoting via the rod engagement member, thereby pivoting the canopy frame.
