What Makes a Great Beach Bag?
Top 5 Must-Have Features for the Perfect Holiday Tote
Whether you’re heading to the seaside, lounging poolside, or jetting off on a weekend break, the right beach bag can make all the difference. A great beach bag isn’t just a pretty accessory — it’s a practical, reliable essential that keeps you organised and ready for anything.
So, what makes a truly great beach bag? Here are the top 5 features you should look for, plus why our favourite holiday tote ticks every box.
1. Durable and Machine Washable
Let’s face it — beach bags have to handle a lot. Sand, sea spray, sun cream spills and more. That’s why a good beach bag needs to be tough. Look for one made from durable materials that can go the distance. Our beach bag is made from cotton with a water-resistant lining, and best of all, it’s machine washable, so you can freshen it up after every trip with ease.
2. Water-Resistant and Wipe-Clean Lining
Whether it's a damp towel or a splash from a water bottle, moisture is inevitable. A water-resistant, wipe-clean lining ensures your essentials stay protected and your bag stays fresh. It’s ideal for busy beach days, poolside lounging, or sudden holiday downpours.
3. Clever Storage and Organisation
No one wants to rummage through a cluttered bag. Smart storage is key. The best beach bags feature external pockets for easy access to your sun cream, sunglasses, or water bottle. Inside, you want a mix of open and zipped compartments to keep your valuables — like your phone or passport — safe and secure.
4. Secure Zip Closure
A wide, open tote might be tempting, but a deep-set zip closure offers better security. Whether you’re on a plane, walking along the promenade, or hopping on a boat, knowing your items are zipped up adds extra peace of mind — and keeps everything in place.
5. Versatile for Travel and Everyday Use
The perfect beach bag should work for more than just holidays. Choose one that’s lightweight yet roomy, making it suitable as a carry-on, a mum-on-the-go tote, or a day trip companion. Ours is designed with everyday versatility in mind, making it just as useful at home as it is abroad.
Bonus: Stylish Designs to Match Your Holiday Wardrobe
Function doesn’t have to come at the cost of fashion. Our beach bag comes in a range of gorgeous fabric prints, so you can pick a style that complements your holiday outfits. Matching accessories are also available for that extra polished look.
