Beyond the Beach: How to Get the Most out of Your Beach Bag

Two-in-one situations never disappoint. That’s why a multi-functioning beach bag is a must-have for beachgoers everywhere. Take it to the beach, the subway or anywhere that requires toting around extra supplies.

Haul your goods around in a bag that can handle a spontaneous change of plans. Check out these beach bags that can take you far beyond the beach:

The Overnighter

Go from beach bum to impromptu couch crasher without ever swapping out your bag. Medium-sized beach bags with duffle-like builds work well as overnighters. The spaciousness and ample amount of pockets make organizing sunblock or brushes easy. Be it a day on the water or a night on your best friend’s couch, fill your bag with whatever supplies your destination calls for.

The Haul-it-All Commuter

Thanks to its wide shape and long handle, a boldly printed beach tote doubles as a haul-it-all commuter bag. Its rectangular body is ideal for shuttling your laptop between work and home, or neatly transporting towels and snacks for a day full of fun and sun. For more security, look for a tote with a sturdy top zipper to close in your belongings.

The Super Shopper

When in doubt, go for a shopper. This durable and water-friendly bag is perfect for the beach or farmers market. While its easy drying qualities are handy for accidental splashes at the shore, its deep pouch is great for piling in the treats from your curbside shopping. Accentuate the basic canvas with a waxed finish or metal hardware.

No one wants  extra baggage. Downsize to a sack that covers all the bases, like a multi-use beach bag.
