Fashion doesn't stop on land, and the struggle to find a beach bag that's cute and functional is real. Though there are a lot of options on the market (woven baskets, canvas totes, raffia bags, etc.), only the best will hold an oversized towel, a waterproof speaker, and a change of clothes for a full day near the water. Luckily, these picks, below, tick all those boxes while looking super stylish, too. From totes to to hobo bags you'll want to carry them around all summer long—even when you're not dozing off under an umbrella.
