Size
Of course, one of the main factors you’ll want to consider is the size of your beach bag. Do you want a spacious tote that you can fill up with your towel, sunscreen, spare clothing, and a good book?
Or are you a minimalist beach go-er, with only a bottle of sunscreen and the clothes on your back the only essentials you need?
We suggest having a few options that you can tailor to your day out!
Waterproof material
A natural canvas tote designed to withstand sand and salty air is a beach staple - it’s stylish and oh-so cool.
On the other hand, a water resistant beach bag is an obvious choice to carry home wet towels, wetsuits, and bathers after a day at the beach.
Exterior fabric meets a waterproof interior lining to keep your gear protected from the water.
Quality
Whatever material you end up choosing, you want to ensure that your beach bag is built well and designed to last more than just a summer.
That means it should be able to withstand being filled to the brim of beach gear, plonked in the sand under the hot sun, and tossed into the backseat of your car.
Pockets
Pockets are a feature that offer a ton of additional storage and help you organise all your belongings.
Slip your phone and keys safely in an inner pocket and quickly access them when needed.
