Beachcomber Tote 
Handmade in Maine from recycled sailcloth, the Beachcomber Tote from Sea Bags combines rugged maritime materials with thoughtful organization for long days by the water.

An interior zip pocket separates valuables from towels, sunscreen and snacks, and the large size doubles as an airline carry-on if your beach is far away. Available in ocean teal, harbor blue and goldenrod. $195.

Catalina Deluxe Tote
Blending recycled poly canvas with leather trim, the Catalina Deluxe from Lo & Sons was designed with travel in mind and easily transitions from airport to shoreline with added benefits for both. Stash sneakers in the zippered bottom compartment for a walk to a lakeside beach, or use the same space to separate your wet swimsuit and towel after a day in the water. When you don’t need the extra space, zip the entire compartment off and scale down. More than a dozen combinations available. $168.
