A beach day might not call for a full outfit, but your summer beach bag? That’s where the style spotlight lands. The right bag pulls everything together—literally. It needs to be roomy enough for your towel and sunscreen, durable enough to handle sand and saltwater, and cute enough to carry straight to lunch after.
So we tapped our E! shopping editors for their go-to tips on choosing the best beach bags for summer—from styling advice to what features actually matter (hint: zip tops and water-resistant linings are key). Then we tested everything from classic canvas totes to woven straw carryalls to round up the best summer beach bags you can shop right now. Whether you’re poolside, oceanside, or just vibing in your backyard, these editor-vetted picks bring the sunshine wherever you go.
