Once you've picked up the sunscreen and folded up the umbrella, tracking down a tote is next on the list of beach day essentials—though the perfect one has to meet a few qualifications. It should be roomy enough to fit everything you need for your family, sure, and ideally also come with some low-maintenance features that make it more of an asset than a hassle. The Bogg Bag—a waterproof, tip-proof, and washable catch-all—is one such bag; and just in time for your last-minute weekend getaway, it's available on Amazon through Prime delivery.
Bogg Bags have been around since 2011, but have recently been making the rounds online due to their handy design. Each one comes with a set of two clear insert bags (particularly great for stashing smaller items, like a phone or wallet) and is made from rubber with a non-slip base so the contents won't spill out. What's more, because the sides are perforated with drainage holes, you won't end up with a bagful of sand at the end of the day.
It comes in 42 different colors and prints, as well as multiple sizes—including the Baby and the Bitty—but if space is your top priority, go with the original. The XL size measures 19 x 15 x 9.5 inches, with plenty of room for every last paperback and tube of SPF you need. No wonder the bags currently have over 5,500 reviews with a near-perfect 4.8-star rating.
"I was worried this wouldn’t be big enough to fit towels for four people but it’s huge!" writes one reviewer who gave it five stars. "Fits everything I need to go to the pool with the kids."
It's versatile, too: While the waterproof design makes it a summer must-have, others report using it for everything from sports practice (the holes keep dust and dirt from accumulating) to hauling plants and groceries (wiping off spills is a cinch).
Plus, in a fun DIY twist, you can add on accessories to customize your tote to your style and needs. Here are a few of our favorite add-ons:
