We recently published a post for summer purses, but for the beach and pool, it’s a whole other ball park. We find that we carry so much more to the beach. For example, beach towels, a change of clothes, snacks, a good book, beach gear and so much more. Because of this, we need a way bigger bag than a purse for our beach trip! There will be no sacrificing fashion for features here because we have found the cutest options for the best beach bags of the season! We’ll break down the features below to help you find the perfect size and qualities you are looking for in the right bag. The best beach tote is waiting for you and ready to carry all of your beach day essentials!
Shop by Size
Firstly, you’ll want to pick a bag for the day depending on your plans. Are you headed to the beach to read for a couple hours on your own? A small mesh bag or cotton canvas tote can be a quick bag to grab for you. Although, if you are going to the beach with your family for the day, you will want to go bigger. A large beach bag such as a large rattan or straw tote will carry things like a beach blanket, bottle of water, large towels and personal items. Beach essentials are endless because there are items like extra portable chargers, water bottles, snacks and fun games. The ideal beach tote bag will be able to carry everything you need for the day, apart from the kitchen sink.

Secondly, a functional bag will make the world of a difference for you, especially as a mom! The ideal beach bag has plenty of room for a waterproof bag, exterior mesh pockets and is a waterproof tote. You’ll want it to be on the sturdy side, too so that it lasts but stylish bags are sturdy these days! Additionally, extra-long handles are a great option if you have to walk a distance. I like bags with tons of pockets for me to organize everything in, I think it adds great value without the extra weight. There are things I like to keep in a good beach bag so that I don’t have to keep swapping bags for the next beach day. Straw bags can work well for this too, as long as they have side pockets internally!

Finally, this is going to depend on your usage for beach bags. How often will you need it? Will you travel with it? Is it something you can bring into everyday life? These are all factors that can play into deciding on how much you are willing to spend on tote beach bags. The best bag is one you know you will get enough use out of. For instance, we use our beach bags year after year and sometimes the kids like to use them as weekend bags so we know we get a lot of use out of them.
