Summer is finally here and I am dying to spend as many days as possible at the beach. Living in New York, it’s easy to escape the city to several of the beautiful beaches along the East Coast. From the Hamptons to the beaches of Montauk, I know I’ll be spending my weekends in the sand. 

I recently shared a roundup of essentials in my beach bag, from things like my favorite sunscreen to the perfect pair of sunglasses, but what if you’re also in need of a gorgeous beach bag to complete your ‘Coastal Grandma’ or ‘Quiet Luxury Summer’ look?

Summer Beach Bag Roundup

Budget-Friendly Summer Beach Bags

I’ve found four budget-friendly beach bags from Amazon. I love sharing budget-friendly options because I know it’s possible to look stylish on a budget, but I’m always looking for the most high-quality pieces that I know will last forever. For me, sustainable fashion is buying less because you’ve invested in pieces you’ll love for years to come. 

It’s big enough to hold all of your daily items, from your phone to sunglasses and small essentials like chapstick and sunscreen. I imagine walking down the boardwalk in search of the perfect brunch with the girls, this bag carrying all of my essentials for the day. 

I also love the scarf tied around one of the handles. It perfectly fits into my Coastal Grandma Capsule Wardrobe.

I’ve seen designer bags like this all over Pinterest and TikTok this summer, but this Amazon look-a-like is ideal for my stylish budget girlies. It comes in two sizes, with the larger version being perfect for all of your beach day essentials.

But I also really love it for this summer beach bag roundup. This bag is for my working girlies, who can’t escape the city as much as they’d like, but still want the summer style of the Hamptons. While you can get this bag in a variety of colors, for this beach bag roundup I’m recommending the ‘Black Straw.’

Mid-Range Summer Beach Bags

These mid-range beach bags won’t break the bank, but they’re also from some of my favorite brands that I know will stand the test of time both in quality and style. Each of these elevates your style just a bit more, with luxury on a budget. 

You can customize with your initials and choose from white, tan, or navy trim depending on your personal style, and I love them all. This raffia tote is the perfect summer beach bag for a great price. I know this brand creates high-quality products and you’ll continue to use this tote for many summers to come. 

I love this bag because it’s the perfect summer tote for a classic capsule wardrobe. Creating a classic capsule wardrobe is one of my goals for this blog because I know that the right capsule wardrobe will help reduce your outfit fatigue, while still looking incredible every day. 

This bag is everything! Plus it looks absolutely ready for a champagne picnic on the beach.

In terms of luxury handbags for a reasonable price, you can’t go wrong with Coach. This summer beach bag is on the larger side, which means it’s perfect for a long day spent at the beach. It’ll easily pack your towel, hydration, sunscreen, and other essentials. 

I love this additional pocket inside that you can slide your phone and slim wallet into.

This style is different from what I’ve shared already and keep in mind that it’s completely woven around the sides, giving this beach bag a much more bohemian look. I recommend that if you’re sitting directly on the beach, keep your phone, wallet, and keys in a small purse to protect them from the sun and sand. You can tuck that directly into this tote!

Luxury Summer Beach Bags

Now let me share my favorite luxury summer beach bags. I love luxury handbags, it’s always the one accessory that I’m more than willing to invest in. I’ve hand-picked these summer bags to match your summer style, whether that’s quiet luxury or coastal grandma (two of my favorite trends of this summer!) 

When it comes to investing in luxury handbags, Prada is one of my go-to brands. Stylish and beautiful, this tote is everything you need this summer. 

With a large interior, it will hold everything you need from your towel to sunscreen and a book. The only thing missing is a small interior pocket for your phone and keys. I personally love the ‘Chloe’ details on this tote.

This bag from Saint Laurent elevates the more traditional raffia beach bag. This is a beach bag you can take around New York for a day of shopping. Or fill it with your beach essentials for a day in the Hamptons. A truly versatile luxury handbag. 

The collection was synonymous with youth and freedom. It modernized luxury and it’s something that’s been a clear path for the Saint Laurent path ever since. This is a piece designed with those early collections in mind. 

It’s a very bohemian tote, especially compared to the other YSL tote shared before. If you just grab one classic bag from this beach bag roundup, you couldn’t go wrong with this Rive Gauche in Raffia. 

What should I pack in my beach bag?

Don’t worry girl! If this question has been running through your mind, I’ve collected my list of beach bag favorites that are essential for this summer. From my favorite sunglasses to quality sunscreen and chapstick, this guide has everything you need.
