The Perfect Beach Bag is a Wayfarer Tote

Packing up the perfect beach bag is easy when you have the right tote.

Your beach bag needs to be three things: durable, roomy, and stylish. The material needs to hold up to the wind, sand, and waves. The interior needs to fit your beach must-haves, from a juicy summer read to your dependable sunscreen. And your beach bag should also look good! (Bonus points if it matches your swimsuit or towel.)

The Wayfarer Collection offers nylon handbags that are lightweight, water-resistant, and super easy to clean. Totes from this collection offer all of the above, and more. We love Wayfarer bags for the beach.

The Wayfarer Zip Tote is one of our favorite beach bags in the line. An outside zipper provides your little things, like your cell phone or SPF chapstick, protection from sand. A zipper on top works to keep sand out of the inside of your bag, too. You can carry this tote two different ways. The long crossbody strap is easiest for those hikes across the sand, while the short top handles are convenient for shorter jaunts. The inside of this tote is lined with breathable cotton. It’s nice and roomy, offering plenty of storage space. It could comfortably fit a rolled up towel and even a water bottle.

This specific tote comes in three colors. Maybe you already have a go-to beach bag. If you’re looking for something you can bring with you that’s a little more compact–say a shoulder bag or crossbody–then check out the rest of the Wayfarer Collection. And shop all of our tote bags for women here!
