Between a roomy catch-all in a cool checkered print to a rainbow-colored revamp of the classic straw style, this season's best beach bags are anything but boring. Keep reading to shop our favorites.

For a no-fuss option, we love Rhythm's cotton canvas bag. It was inspired by Australian coastal culture and has a simple style and durability that reflects that, with multiple internal pockets and even a secure laptop sleeve. Working remotely is so much better when done seaside, after all.

Prefer to travel light? Go with this bamboo handbag. The larger size can fit a bottle of water or even a book, and the slats are handy for sifting out the sand when you're ready to head home. No wonder this piece has a solid 5-star rating on Amazon.
