When packing for a beach vacation, we go all in on swimsuits and sunglasses—but we often forget one key item: a beach bag.
Investing in a tote for the beach is important because it allows you to bring along everything you need for the day—from a coverup, hat, and SPF to a book and portable speaker. This bag will be exposed to sand, saltwater, sunscreen, and the occasional margarita spill, so it's important to find one that's either waterproof (or water-resistant) or sturdy enough to protect its contents. For the same reason, a zipper is always a plus. If you're the type who always shows up at the beach prepared with all your favorite drinks and snacks, you might even look for a cooler bag.
Of course, you also want a cute beach bag that complements your look—one you won't be embarrassed to turn up to sunset happy hour still wearing.
