Beach Bum

Going to the beach is fun. Coming home with sand in your wallet, make-up and phone is not. Neither is getting your valuables wet. Luckily, there are plenty of beach bags out there to not only solve your beach-related woes, but look great while doing it. Here are five stylish bags looking to accompany you on your next beach day.

The vibrant design on this tote won’t fade in the sun, nor will it suffer any damage from the sand. The fact that it’s easy to clean doesn’t hurt either.

Beads Large Boat Tote by Hable Construction ($148)
