5 Tips for Picking a Beach Bag You’ll Still Love at the End of Summer
The best beach bag is one that not only makes hauling all your beach essentials easier, but one you can carry beyond the shore. Here are 5 tips for finding a beach bag you’ll love to use all year round:
How to choose the right beach bag size
Go big so you don’t have to overstuff. Choose a large beach bag that is 18” so it is spacious enough to hold all your essentials... It’s no fun having to claw through your bag every time you need sunscreen, or your wallet, or your book.
Inner pockets in large beach bags are a bonus - stash your keys, phone and other smaller items and keep them easily accessible.
Pro tip: Use lightweight quick dry beach towels, like Peshtemal cotton towels, to instantly save space in your bag.
Choose over-the-shoulder beach bag handles
This seems obvious, but you must choose beach tote bags with sturdy, comfortable handles that can withstand the weight of your belongings. Over-the-shoulder straps are perfect for easy carrying, especially when your bag is full.
Always look for top quality stitching and durable materials that ensure the handles will hold up well through many beach trips.
Make sure your beach bag is easy to clean
Avoid materials like cotton canvas that trap sand and debris. Choose beach bag material that allows sand to slide off easily or can be quickly brushed or shaken clean.
Large beach bags with water-resistant linings also make a great choice for easy cleaning.
Never underestimate style
The best beach bags for you should reflect your personal style. While it's important to choose a functional tote, thankfully that does not mean you have to sacrifice on style. There are many beach bags that offer you the best of both worlds. Pick a cute bag that is high quality, and you can’t go wrong.
Pick a beach bag that has multi-purpose functionality
The best beach bags are versatile enough to be used beyond the beach, boat and pool. Choose styles and colors that will work for you in your everyday life. Many beach bags today go from the beach to work easily.
Look for a multi-functional beach bag that you can bring for shopping, at work, in school, the gym, picnics, or other daily activities.
As an essential for your sun-soaked adventures, the right beach bags for summer is about balancing your needs with your style.
