Lugging anything to the beach or pool is like traveling sometimes, we over pack and have to lug around things we do not even use. Sometimes I am convinced I pack things just to let it see the beach and it never leaves the beach bag (just does a little quick visit to the beach and stays in the tote never even seeing the sun!). Here are my tips and trips on what beach bags are my favorite.
As a mom of 3 kids, the bigger the better. But at the same time, it needs to be easy, durable and light weight to carry! Over the last few years as being a Mom, I have used countless beach bags I am embarrassed to admit, but they all serve a different purpose and help for those crazy beach or pool days!
Here are my top beach bags I have used over the last few years as a mom and a single lady!
The Bogg Bag: This bag is great! You can hose it off, and get it dirty, without stressing of it getting ruined. The one issue is it is so big, and heavy without the things in it, and the strap can get a little messed up, but I absolutely love it. It is however not a bag I would throw in my suitcase and take on vacation, it is way too heavy. This bag is more for local beach or pool trips! I also love the biggest one! The bigger the better! But like I said it is super heavy and it is not always the easiest to throw over your shoulder when you have it full and your kids overflowing it with random items they do not need to bring to the water!
LL BEAN BOAT AND TOTE BAG: This bag is great and super durable! It is made of a thick cotton canvas and you can get it in a variety of sizes. My favorite thing is you can customize them with icons, initials, sayings or your name! The bag can be a little heavy and sometimes hard to carry, but you can throw it in the wash on a delicate cold cycle and let it air dry. The longer straps work much better, and again the biggest size is my favorite! These are not just great for the beach and pool but they are great for an extra tote bag to have when traveling with your kids!
Mark and Graham Cabana Beach tote: This bag has been my recent favorite travel beach bag! It is see through and light weight! I threw it in my luggage for a recent Florida trip and it maintained it shape and was big enough for my family of 5, and basically weighs nothing!! It could have been used as a carry on as well but I of course had something else! This comes in various options and colors and can be personalized as well! A definite classic and easy tote bag for the beach or pool!!

Scout Original Deano TOte: This is a light weight and super easy to clean bag, it is perfect for traveling and folds flat! This is great for bringing everything under the sun to the pool or beach!
JCrew Woven Straw Bag: There is nothing more classic than a classic straw bag! J crew has the most stylish bag ever! Not a typical mom bag but this is definetely a bag I would wear pre kids or when my kids are older!
I am always looking for fun and cute bags! What is your favorite beach or pool bag!?
