The necessities for a day at the beach vary from the pragmatic — towels, sunscreen, water, sandals, light snacks — to the indulgent — summer reading, a speaker, plenty of craft beer. Because this assortment doesn’t readily fit into a backpack, the tote bag is the go-to option for beachgoers. There’s a range of modern totes on the market made from leather, canvas and nylon that will keep your personal style intact while hauling goods across the hot sand. So before you embark on your next ocean getaway, pick up one of these bags and be prepared for a day in the sun.
