The Best of Beach Bags

Earthen Me Beach Bag

With the Sun shining down mighty and strong, it’s the beaches we love to throng! Those in cities with shores are a tad better placed but these days almost every city has recreation facilities around some water body or the other. Can’t really use our regular bags at these places; they need to be better equipped at dealing with moisture. Beach bags are mighty handy during these occasions. So what is a beach bag essentially? Let’s enumerate their characteristics first:

    • They are usually totes.
    • They are made of a rugged material like jute, straw so that they can withstand the wear and tear of sand and saline sea water. Avoid material that will soak up water and thus add weight, like canvas.
    • They are large and spacious to enable storage of all beach essentials:

      – clothes (wet/dry)
      – flip-flops
      – towel
      – sunscreen
      – sunglasses
      – a mat

    • Having waterproof sections helps to keep your dry clothes dry.
    • It helps to have minimally intrusive opening – such as an open top or just a flap or just a button to quickly and easily shove and retrieve things out of it. You wouldn’t really carry valuables to a beach, would you?
    • It is better to have material that is washable to clean off the mess of salt and saline water.

The 11 bags we’ve handpicked for you are so chic and fashionable that you might want to tow them around in places other than the beach as well! Thankfully, fashion has no rigid rules!
