The Best Summer Beach Totes and Must-Have Accessories For Women

One of the hardest working pieces of a summer wardrobe is your beach tote. In addition to accenting your swimsuit and cover-up, it acts like a sherpa. Carrying your beach towels, hat, sunscreens, flip flops and more is a lot to ask. It must also be sturdy, easy to carry, waterproof preferred, acts as a substitute for your purse and compliments your outfit. Yikes- it should get a medal! haha!

Well good news, we found some great beach totes ranging in price and materials for you. From straw, raffia, canvas, woven and completely waterproof- you’ll want to check these out. We will let you know which ones we already have.

Also, we included some of our favorite must-have accessories- towels, sun glasses, sunscreen products, hats and sandals. We styled them for you in case you needed a little inspiration if you have an upcoming trip.

Raffia Beach Totes

Another popular material that adds to your summer outfits is raffia, because of it’s natural texture and classic appeal. A raffia beach tote is a summer vacation essential because it’s lightweight, easy to pack and can take you from the beach to sightseeing and then to dinner.
