Behold, the 20 Best Beach Bags You Can Carry All Summer Long
You know a great beach bag when you see it. They sit in that sweet spot between a Mary Poppins bag and your chicest summertime bag. The best beach bags are deceivingly large, allowing us to carry everything we might want for our oceanside tanning session without overtaking our entire frame. We love a slouchy carryall as much as a more structured tote bag and prefer not to pick favorites between coated canvas, raffia, and woven cotton. While larger bags certainly have to be more durable, we also love a mini basket for short beach trips that don't require quite as many provisions.
The bag selection below will take you from the water's edge to your summertime brunch. We've found structured wicker styles, slouchy woven bucket bags, and even totes that can take a beating. Shop the best beach bags just in time for summer below.
Loewe's collaboration with Paula's Ibiza just keeps getting better and better, and this has to be a favorite thus far. The multicolored raffia panels are a unique design point, and the bag itself has plenty of room to hold a beach towel, water bottle, and everything else you'll need for a perfect summer day.
I will always love black leather detailing on a bag like this because of how much it elevates the raffia or straw-like material. The biggest perk to this Mango bag, however, besides it's under-$100 price, is that it features an inner zipper fastening so your items can stay covered and sand-free.
