Ten Beach Ready Totes

Going to the beach can be incredibly soothing. The beach is sandy, tranquil, and relaxing. People watching is also a fun part of spending time at the beach. When you think about going to the beach one of the activities you may envision is reading a good book, flipping through the magazine you never seem to have enough time to read or just being alone with your own thoughts! We love going to the beach with our husbands or friends when we are down in Siesta Key and Long Boat in the spring.

Going to the beach with our grandchildren is not quite relaxing but it certainly keeps you moving! Either way…going to the beach is the best!

A beach tote is absolutely necessary for all the items you are going to need for your time at the beach. We have put together a few of our favorite beach totes this season along with some ideas of what you want to fill them with! Take a look and let us know if we forgot something!

Ten Beach Ready Totes

Beach Tote # 1

BTB Los Angeles Daphne Flower Straw Tote Bag

A black tote is always nice to have! Why? Black is timeless and goes with everything and will coordinate with many of your outfits. Black hides stains or dirt and are easier to clean too! We do love black totes for all these reasons but the Daphne Tote is just plain pretty with the little flower adornments!

Beach Tote # 2

Pamela Munson The Beach and Town Tote

This classic tote is made of a handwoven seagrass with a croc embossed handle in addition to a pretty pearl that dangles from the handle. This tote is unlined but is one of those totes that will be with you for years. It is sturdy and definitely a tote you can use for your trip to the beach.

Everything But Water Loretta Fringe Tote

What attracted us to this beach tote is the beautiful pink color of this tote..it is so summer! The fringe adds so much style to this bag too. It does have a magnetic clasp with a small inner pocket.

Beach Tote # 4

Tuckernuck Raffia Santorini Bag

The Santorini Bag is handcrafted in Spain from palm leaves. You can carry this over the shoulder which sometimes is hard to find or by hand. A truly updated raffia bag with the beautiful white harness and round tubular handles. Although we are showcasing totes for the beach you could definitely wear this bag with a cute sundress or white denim.

Mark & Graham Sayulita Woven Tote

The Mark & Graham Sayulita tote is available in a variety of beautiful colors! We truly like them all. It is water resistant and you can also personalize this bag which would make a great gift. It is large and offers enough room to carry your beach towel, coverup, water, sunscreen and your favorite beach book. The price point of $99 is one more big benefit!

BTB Bahama Mama Tote

Loving this bag…that is why we made the Bahama Mama our featured image on this post! The two toned stripe in yummy neutrals makes it a bag that will go with all your coverups, bathing suits and dresses! It does have a small interior pocket. The little pom pom detail just adds to the beauty of this tote!

Aldo Beachthare Laser Cut Tote

Summer totes in white are just so fresh and clean. The geometric cutouts on the Aldo Tote allow you to see the contents. This bag has a shoulder strap! So easy to carry when your hands need to be free to carry other things…like a grandchild! Haha! There is a removable zippered pouch which has its own handle to carry on its own! The $75 price point is unbelievable for what you are getting!

Beach Tote # 8

Mark & Graham Scalloped Raffia Bag

The Scalloped Tote is constructed of raffia-like paper straw with a contrasting scallop edge. The contrasting trim is so pretty and this tote can be mongrammed too! To make this tote even more functional pair it with a scallop clutch in the same raffia scallop trim for your lipstick, phone or credit card!

What To Put In Your Beach Tote

A Great Book

Reading on the beach is one of lives small pleasures. Although everyone has a particular genre they may prefer over another we have read these books and really did enjoy them.

Sunscreen

Sunscreen is a must! Here are a few we both use.

A Wide Brim Hat

Hats can protect your face from the harmful rays of the sun but they also stylish and fashionable!

Beach Towel

Water Bottle

Staying hydrated is super important on the beach. These water bottles are also pretty!!

Wearing beach ready shoes and sandals are also important to protect your feet from hot surfaces. Check out our post “Oka-B Footwear : From Beach to Bistro” for some incredible sandals.

We hope you have some fun beach trips planned this summer. It is just incredible how fast the summer flies by. It is almost July and in just two short months the kids will be going back to school and we will be thinking about fall fashion! Haha! Enjoy every minute of the season.
