The Best Beach Bags – All year round we dream about lounging on perfectly sandy beaches under the scorching summer sun. Whether it’s Tuesday or Saturday, during the summer season, the beach is always on our minds and packing appropriately is crucial. First and foremost, a super cute beach bag is your bathing suit’s best friend so don’t skimp when searching for the perfect one. Using an old water resistant handbag where you may have messed up the liner at one point is always a resourceful option. To lighten your load and avoid taking a cooler, try placing your super cold drinks in the bottom of your beach bag and place your rolled beach towel over the top. When you arrive at the beach you’ll have a cool towel to lay on the hot sand and your drinks will be perfectly cold. A good beach tote is essential in promising that you’ll have a fabulous ocean-side experience. Having the best beach bag and carrying the right things will make your day at the beach awesome. I always include Sun Bum SPF30 sunscreen lip balm, Sun Bum Suntan spray or lotion, Sun Bum Original Sunscreen Face Lotion, towel, sunglasses, waterproof smartphone case, and ear buds.

So, a good beach bag needs to hold all of your essentials. I always carry one that I can just sling over my shoulder. Keeps my hands free for my chair and umbrella. Here are the best beach bags, with some great choices for kids too!

You have picked some great beach bags to choose from here. I’m looking pretty strongly at the Oahu XXL Mesh Beach Bag Tote. It sounds perfect for me and my families needs.
Thanks for simplifying things for me. This will save me a lot of time.
I will explore your other beach gear reviews as well.
Thanks for sharing!

You are very welcome and that is a great choice for a family beach bag. Keeps the sand out, which I need to get myself. My bag always gets full of sand. The mesh bag is perfect. Thanks for visiting the best beach bags!
Wow! I didn’t even think about it keeping the sand out! That’ll work great. I hate it when sand gets in my sun glass case, and blue tooth speaker! Such a mess! I’ll be planning my beach trip soon and will add this to my list of things I need. I love that it has a Waterproof Cell Phone Case and “easy to get” to outside pockets!
Thanks again.
I was going to mention the SeaWag. Me and my son both have one, they keep the sand and water out. BUT they also allow us to carry cash or a debit card, and our ID with us. We don’t have to worry about someone swiping it off the beach, because we just keep it with us in the water. It works, I can tell you that. Some other brands claim to, but they don’t.
Hey Leahrae, I really enjoyed reading your post. My girlfriend was looking for some beach bag because summer is finally coming. 🙂 I showed her your website and she really loves them. her favorite is the top one with all the colors. Pluss it really seems like a robust built. which is super important since she is always carrying the whole household to the beach. 🙂
That is the bag I have, suits my personality and the size and colors are great. I absolutely love it and it holds everything.
Beach bags are very important when goin on a vacation at the beach or even close to a river. We have 2 sons so there’s always toys and towels and sun lotion to carry along and it is a lot more fun when you can proudly carry it around in a beautiful beach bag. You pointed out some very nice ones, Definitely caught my eye!
Glad you liked them 🙂 And yes, they are important. I keep all my beach stuff in there, and then just grab and go. Thanks for visiting the best beach bags.
Hi Leahrae, thanks for showing us some lovely beach bags here. I really like to have a bag that has plenty room as well as having an inside pocket where you can hide things away from wet towels or leaking bottles of sun tan lotion. I am not saying that these things happen but it is better being safe than sorry. The bag also has to be a decent size to get everything in but still be able to get the bag shut.
There were two or three that you showed us that I really liked and will go on the links and get a better view at these bags.
I have the Odyseaco Baja Beach Bag and I love it. It is large and fits everything I need for my day at the beach. I actually just leave everything in the bag and then when I have ready to go, I just grab it. Thanks for reading!
Very informative Website. I love the beach bags! I also checked out your kiteboarding post. I’ve never heard of Kiteboarding. I have done some Parasailing in the Bahamas a while back, but that’s all. The pictures and videos were amazing, as well as the music. I live in the Movaji Desert. Really not near much water. But if I do get near the ocean or a big lake, I will keep your Website in mind and tell others about it. Great Job!
I am glad you enjoyed visiting my site 🙂 I personally have the Odyseaco Baja Beach Bag. I love it. And yes, kiteboarding is a blast. Thanks for visiting BeachTravelDestinations.com.
I like the aruba mesh. But what do you think about pacsafe gear? The bags are great, but there’s still the problem of someone just picking up the bag and leaving….
Pacsafe gear is great, but I am not sure how they would work on the beach. I keep all of my beach stuff in my bag. And I carry my credit cards, id and phone in my Seawag (waterproof). So when I am in the water, or walking down the beach, I have all my “valuables” with me. My beach bag is only going to have my sunscreen, chapstick, etc. Nothing I can’t replace 🙂 Thanks for visiting 🙂
Being a mother, trips to the beach require a bag with a lot of space. I like the Aruba mesh bag because of the pockets with the top zipper and of course the cooler feature. That bag would be a perfect fit for trips to the beach and carrying everything you need. I would even use it for trips to the park. Great list!
Thanks Melissa, and that is a great choice for a beach bag. And you are right, I use mine for more than just the beach 🙂 Thanks for reading about the best beach bags.
Wow, these are great.
I was just looking for an easy beach bag the other day. Not found the right thing.
Your Odyseaco Baja Beach Bag looks ideal. I love the colors too.
Do you think it is durable?
Thanks for the tip 🙂
That bag is at the top of the list, because I have that exact bag 🙂 I love it and it is very durable. I have thrown everything in it for the beach, and then just grab when I am ready to head out. I think you will love it too 😀 Thanks for reading about the best beach bags.
I love those beach bags and can think of any number of uses for them apart from the beach. The cooler bag would be great in summer to put you frozen foods in when you are shopping so they don’t defrost on the way home. It would also be great for cold drinks when traveling. I love the photos you have used are beautiful and appealing. The bag really comes into it’s own as a beach bag and as you say it makes it a lot easier to carry everything you need.
I never thought of using mine in the car for say, ice cream from the store. Great idea!
I for one have just recently discovered the awesomeness that cooler bags are, ever since I started driving for Uber. I keep cold drinks for my riders in the cooler bags, as they are easy to store in the trunk or the inside of the car. I’m always looking for stylish ones, so I’ll keep these in mind. I rarely do the beach, so for just riding around, these will do.
Oh yeah, they will 🙂
I absolutely fell in love with this mesh bag.
I travel to beaches a lot (some fresh water and some salt water beaches) and I can’t stand it when I have to tug along the cooler and my beach bag.
Since we usually don’t stay longer than two or three hours, this seems like the perfect solution for my food and convenience needs.
Thanks for the detailed review.

You are very welcome Nerissa 🙂
I’m at the beach at the moment and found your article very helpful. What I like about this Eastsport bag is that it looks very resilient. But I think it’s a more feminine design, for men, which beach bag would you recommend?
Looking forward to your answer and thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Anh
Very true! I would recommend the SÃ¥k Gear Premium Waterproof Dry Bag. This is a very masculine, yet great bag. Here is the link on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Gear-Watersports-Activities-Reflective/dp/B014TQCEG8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469749434&sr=8-1&keywords=SÃ¥k+Gear+Premium+Waterproof+Dry+Bag+with+Exterior+Zip+Pocket+Shoulder+Strap+and+Reflective+Trim
Hello Leahrae
I have my vacation coming up, a long awaited trip to Thailand.Since l plan to spend most of my time at the beach and sight seeing,l thought l should look for the perfect beach bag. not too large but big enough to put in the little 100 items ladies carry around.
My search in Google brought me to your site and must admit you did a good job, it`s like the post was written just for me.
In the past l went for transparent beach bags,but they get very hot in the sun and tear easy.But i love Eastport mesh tote,the cooler base is a real plus too.Thanks so much you`ve made my shopping easier.
I am so glad! The 100 items ladies carry around? That had me chuckling 🙂 I bring only the necessities which amounts to a handful of items 🙂
this is a pretty genius idea actually! allows you to carry your drinks and food all in one so you don’t have to haul around extra baggage or coolers and even saves you space in your car. Do you happen to know the dimensions of the cooler by any chance?
They are 18″ X 6″ X 12″ and it is a wonderful bag! I love it. I can put everything I need in it and keep my water cool!
Such a great idea. I remember the days of lugging those big coolers to the beach, even for short trips, so this is awesome! Now, I can take the kids on a short excursion without packing the whole house! Lol I like it that there’s a separate compartment for drinks or items that need cooler temps, makes it easier to carry and more convenient.
This is a great bag! I have one 🙂
