The Best Beach Bags Of Summer 2022, According To TZR Editors

"I love the soft construction and ease of this muted blue raffia bag. Its simplicity — no hardware, no compartments, no frills — makes for the quintessential carryall for lazy summer days." — Kathy Lee, editor-in-chief, TZR

"Mansur Gavriel and Marimekko’s collaboration has produced my ideal beach bag. Not only is the strawberry mountain design super cute, but the fabric is water-resistant, making it beach-safe. I also love how spacious this bag is." — Maggie Haddad, senior strategist, social media

“A favorite of polished ladies like Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, British handbag brand Demellier helps me feel a little more put-together on hectic days. I love how this take on the classic straw tote feels elevated enough to wear beyond the beach.” — Alison Syrett, deputy fashion editor, TZR

"My beach bag doubles as a travel tote on summer trips, so size and function are essential. This style’s square structure has ample space and its colorful weave — handcrafted by Colombian artisans — fits the maximalist look I favor in warmer months." —Copelyn Bengel, associate fashion market editor, BDG

"I am a hardcore L.L. Bean fan and this classic tote is hand's down the ultimate beach bag. Trust me on this — it's durable, holds its shape no matter how hot it gets at the beach, and you can pack it with a surprising amount of gear.” — Hannah Baxter, deputy beauty editor

"When it comes to beach bags, I want to purchase one I can reuse, whether as a carryall at the airport or at a farmers' market. Goodee's striped bags, made by migrants and refugees in Italy, check off all these boxes and more!" — Marina Liao, senior fashion news editor

"See-through beach totes can seem unconventional, but I love this style. It's large enough to fit everything needed for a summer day, and the mesh factor allows you to see where everything is, without having to dig aimlessly to find one thing." — Annie Blay, associate beauty news editor, TZR

"I have always adored Clare V.'s Simple Tote, and this summer's iteration is the coolest crochet style. It has a top handle and shoulder strap, plus plenty of room to fit everything you need, and the embroidered text adds a playful punch." — Rebecca Iloulian, director of newsletters & marketing, BDG

"Béis is super creative when it comes to accessories and this bag immediately caught my eye because of its multi-functionality. It can transform into a towel and has an inflatable pillow inside to keep your head comfy while sunbathing." — Jordan Goldberg, fashion news writer

"When I have a beach day, I come prepared — sunscreen, a change of clothes, and snacks, of course. Given how capacious Kate Spade's straw tote is, I expect it to be the beach bag I reach for all summer, as it'll hold all my essentials." — Emma Childs, fashion writer

"I’m not a fan of getting in the water at the beach, so I always end up bringing at least three activities with me: a romance book, a crossword puzzle, and most importantly, a speaker to listen to Harry Styles. This large tote holds all of those and more.” — Meguire Hennes, lifestyle intern, BDG

“I love the colorful, vintage vibe of this beach bag. It’s a bit of a departure from the typical straw varieties. Also, it’s not oversized, which I appreciate, since I tend to keep it simple at the beach: towel, book, water bottle, sunscreen, and sunnies.” — Angela Melero, executive editor
