Beach/Pool bags -- where do you get yours?

[Anonymous]

I have one I've been using from Lands End forever, but think it is time for a new one.

Any suggestions?

[Anonymous]

I got a mesh one at One Step Ahead. I like it a lot.

LL Bean. With long handles.

I actually posted a similar thread a few days ago. I was looking for something other than LL Bean or Lands End as I already have those and don't love them. If you can find that thread, there were some good recommendations. Off the top of my head I remember people suggested Scout bags, saltwater canvas, or those big Ikea bags.

I want one with multiple pockets all around the outside - LLBean used to have such a thing, but not now.

Kind of like this (this one is way too small):



Does anyone know where I can find such a thing?

I like my vineyard vines bag, but probably not big enough for towels if you wanted one that was.

I got mine at Barnes and Noble - they were selling these cute canvas totes for $9.99 if you made a book purchase. Love it!

Target or Walmart. I like mesh ones so I don't have to worry if and when they get wet.

The ones we use for clothing, gear, and food come from LLBean and Crate & Barrel (outlet/clearance). I use the $1 WF bags for toys.

I'm probably crazy, but I have a mesh one for toys/wet stuff, a kate spade (waterproof) one that stays permanently stocked (and gets rapidly re-stocked) with the dry goods (towels, swimsuits for all 4 of us, and underwear - kids tend to wear swimsuits under their clothes, so are lacking underwear post-swim) and sunscreen, and one extra bag full of crap.

I have a similar one from Scout and love it. I get compliments everytime I use it. I even have a cooler insert for it and it is fabulous.

Is it big enough to hold multiple towels, goggles, sunblock, etc.?

@15:19 -- No, it wouldn't hold multiple towels.

You might want to check out the saltwater bags.

I love my saltwater canvas bag -- the largest size. What's nice is that the handles are long so you can put it over your shoulder, and the mesh allows things to dry and sand to fall through. Easily hosed down if necessary. Also has a key fob to latch your keys onto.

Ditto.
