Head back to the shore with chic beach bags that tote all your sun and sand necessities in style.

We didn’t think they could improve the classic Lands’ End tote (we already own so many), but this Ragtop Stripe Canvas Tote ($34.50) is pure perfection. Long straps fit easily over your shoulder and the roomy interior holds all of your beach essentials. Even better? Corner snaps that close securely hold all your contents in place. It’s available in three colors, but we can’t resist this nautical interpretation (so summer!).

A straw bag is a seaside favorite, but we prefer ours with a hint of glam, like this Seaside Tote ($45) from J. Crew. The metallic leather handles add a hint of sparkle, making it equally amazing at the beach or on a city street. We also love that it’s packable and foldable, ensuring it retains its shape after being stuffed in a suitcase for that getaway weekend.

Wild prints are so this season. Diane von Furstenberg’s Egypt Zebra-Print Beach Tote ($75) adds seriously luxe (and exotic!) style to any beachside look. Made of glazed canvas, it easily resists water and sand.

This colorful terrycloth Juicy Couture Beach Surf and Sand Tote ($189) is worth the splurge with its vibrant print and leather trim. Just as sturdy as it is beautiful, this oversized carryall gorgeously accessorizes everything from a swimsuit to a sundress.

At just $16.50, you may just be tempted to buy this Old Navy Two-Tone Canvas Beach Tote in each of the five sunny color combinations. Made of rugged canvas, it’s oversized enough to carry everything you need for a full day of fun in the sun.
