What to consider when buying beach bag

Size

Think about what you are going to be taking to the beach. When it comes to size, you need to think about space for your towel/s, lotions, toys, purse, keys etc.

Material

Canvas is the most traditional beach bag material and straw bags always look classic and are functional. Waterproof bags are ideal if you head to the beach alone and want to be able to take it with you for a dip in the sea.

Think about what the handles are made of too. You want smooth materials which aren’t going to rub your bare shoulders.

Compartments

Compartments are a great feature in a beach bag. External pockets can be handy for drinks and lotions which you want to keep upright.

Inside pockets can help hide your valuables while keeping them accessible.

What should I pack in my beach bag?

  • Sunscreen
  • Sunglasses
  • Beach Towel
  • Sun Hat
  • Spare Clothing
  • Drink
  • Snacks
  • Plastic bag to put any wet clothing in
  • Keys
  • Phone
  • Bank Card/ Cash
