With the arrival of summer comes the need to replenish your warm-weather lineup, starting with the best beach bags to toss all your necessities into—from swimsuits and cover-ups to waterproof sandals, sun hats, and of course, a trusty bottle of SPF.

It’s safe to say that larger-than-life beach bags are lingering in the trend cycle for a while, as Bottega Veneta, Stella McCartney, and Loewe all featured a medley of options on the spring 2024 runways. Luxury designers in particular, from The Row to Saint Laurent, seem to have a penchant for the raffia tote, putting their own spin (and often, logo) on the classic basket bag.

Even contemporary brands can be found taking a dip into this playful pool—Dragon Diffusion’s rendition bridges the gap between city streets and sea shore, Mango’s version features a slouchy silhouette in an allover black mesh, and Staud’s green-and-white striped tote embodies that festive summer feeling. Each is distinct, yet they all agree on one thing: ample space is essential to fit your sunscreen, water bottle, steamy beach read, and a heap of snacks without a worry.

Wherever you’re headed, these canvas, raffia, and cotton-terry jacquard carryall beach bags are the ideal companion. Below, shop our edit of the best beach bags, totes, and weekenders for the season.
