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.
It's been years since this raffia tote first came down Jacquemus's breathtaking runway, but it's still on our minds. Not only is it incredibly spacious, but it also has shoulder straps that can neatly be tucked inside when they're not in use.
Madewell has a small selection of bags, but when there's a top contender like this one, they're quick to sell out. Small but mighty! I love that this one has the structure of a standard leather tote but has that straw texture.
While this may not fit all your essentials, it's perfect for your next vacation or for a beachside dinner.
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.
You can always rely on a canvas tote for any occasion! Just throw in all your essentials and head out the door.
Beach bags don't always have to be totes, as proven by this chic option from Rag Bone. Imagine it with a linen white dress. That would be such an ideal summer ensemble.
While many raffia bags have black accents, it was refreshing to see a full-black version from Khaite. I love seeing the brand's edgier mesh with more casual pieces like this one.
I've owned Longchamp's Le Pliage for years, and it has never let me down. I love when brands innovate on their classic designs, so this knit version is particularly exciting.
If you're looking for an affordable catchall bag to bring along with you this summer, look no further than H&M.
DeMellier's leather bags in this shape areBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing editors' favorite to wear to work, so it only makes sense that the raffia version is next on our wish lists.
Reviewers give this hand-knotted bag five stars and mention that it's perfect for trips to the beach or vineyards. Start preparing for all the summer activities now with this as your first purchase.
