How to Create a Beach-Ready Go Bag That Will Carry You Through Summer

First, let's start with the bag. This H For Happy 16-Inch Mesh Beach Tote Bag ($7) is lightweight and foldable, so it doesn't take up much room in your car or closet when not in use.

Add generously sized straps and deep pockets for your gear, and it's clear why this bag just makes sense.
