As moms, we know that taking the kids to the beach is a whole thing. Some days, it takes more time to prep and pack than we actually spend at the beach.

We scoured the internet – and asked the moms on our editorial team what their favorite beach bags are. Keep reading and find out which are the best beach bags for moms.

The Best Beach Bags for Moms

What exactly makes a beach bag perfect for a mom? Well, a few things.

As moms, we’re always looking for the ultimate beach bag. Maybe that means it’s cute but still functional, or it’s a waterproof bag that will fit everything except the things you don’t (i.e sand and water).

Regardless of what stage of motherhood you’re in, we guarantee you’ll find the best beach bag.

Best Overall Beach Bag for Moms

I definitely know the number of things you need to bring in order to have a successful beach day with kids. Gone are the days when you can throw a towel, and tanning oil in your small but chic bag. Nowadays you’re packing snacks, beach toys, sunblock, hats, and beach towels, and then you only have 15 other things to find before you leave the house.

Which is why I love this large utility tote bag from Amazon. It’s waterproof, sand proof, sturdy, and has a ton of room. It’s perfect for our family of four’s trip to the beach.

Here are a few reasons why I think you’ll enjoy it as well:

• It has reinforced straps
• Interior pockets for smaller items
• Folds flat
• Water-resistant
• The sturdy bottom that is “burst proof”
• Easy to clean
• Lightweight but still very strong
• Extra Large to fit everything you need (21″ x17″ x11″)

Lightweight Beach Bag for Moms

It can be a pain carrying a big heavy bag to the beach, and if you’re kids a little older or you have just one little. Then this lightweight beach bag is perfect.

Here’s why we think you’ll like it too:

• Waterproof (comes with a waterproof phone case)
• Zipper closure
• Zipper pocket
• Side pocket for water bottles
• Durable material
• Machine washable

• Double Waterproof and Oilproof material (which is verified to last 5 years longer than other ordinary beach bags)
• Soft straps

The Perfect Family Beach Bag

If you’ve ever been to the beach with a bag that isn’t working, you know how horrible the trip can become. Well, our overall pick for the best family beach bag goes to Poppy and Peonies Traveller. I wanted to mention that the close runner-up was also a Poppy and Peonies bag, the Beach Bound Reversible Tote (I brought it with me as a carry-on to Florida because of its versatility, and you bet I took it with me on the boat and to the beach).

Here’s why we think you’ll like it too:

• Removable base
• Easy-to-clean material

Most Luxurious Beach Bag

I promised myself when I had kids that I wouldn’t completely change my home or my style. And for you moms who still want a luxury beach bag that will hold up at the beach with kids, I have you covered. Not only is the Loewe used as a beach bag by many women, but it’s easy to clean interior and quality materials will do everything you need it to do and more.

Here’s why we think you’ll love it.

• An unlined interior makes it easy to clean and keep clean

Here are a few other reasons that will make you love the bag:

• Mesh
• Zipper close
• Machine washable
• Sand-proof bottom
• Large bag (21″ x 16″ x 7″)
• 9 Pockets

Mesh Bag with Cooler Attached

Whoever thought to invent a mesh bag with a cooler attached was a genius. As a mom with a toddler and a one-year-old snacks, bottles, and drinks are essentials for the beach. So when I came across this multi-function beach bag I had to include it in the list.

Here’s why I think you’ll love it too:

• Multi-functional 3-in-1 bag (comes with a zipper bag, cooler, and one outer bag)
• Leak-proof cooler
• The cooler can fit 10 cans

Best Affordable Straw Tote

This straw bag from Amazon had a lot of positive reviews. We loved how it looked way more expensive than it actually is, while still being extremely super affordable. I will say that I don’t think it’s necessarily one of the more durable options for carrying a lot of stuff. But it is convenient and looks very chic without the price tag of a luxury beach bag.

Here are a few other things that you’ll love about the bag:

• High-quality natural jute fiber
• Eco-friendly and natural

• Good size bag (18″ x 14.5″ x 9.5″)
• Waterproof lining (makes it easy to clean)

Water Proof Beach Bag

For this bag, we choose the Yeti Soft Cooler. I wanted something that could do double duty, like keep dad’s beer cool, while making sure our phones are safe from water, and still easy to clean.

Here are a few reasons why I think you’ll love this waterproof beach bag too:

• Waterproof (which is great to keep your electronics and phones safe at the beach)
• 30L capacity or 28lbs of ice
• Dry exterior shell with “HydroShield” closure for watertight storage
• Durable handles and detachable strap
• Variety of extra attachments are available
• “ColdCell” insulation makes sure your food and drink stay cold longer.

Best Canvas Tote

The JCrew Canvas tote is large enough to fit everything we need, from beach towels, toys, snacks and so much more. I’ve used it as a carry-on, grocery bag, and of course as a beach bag. I found it easy to spot clean marks, and it’s just really a beautiful bag.

Here are a few other reasons that will make you love the bag:

• Easy to spot clean
• Made with high-quality material
• Exterior pockets are large enough to fit shoes in
• Reinforced handles
• Timeless classic style
• Extra Large (16″ x23″ x7″)

• Drawstring closure
• Large bag (21″ x 11″ x 7″)
• Holds up to 66lbs
• Heavy-duty materials
• Reusable bag
