Classic Resort: Coach Straw Hobo
If you’re going anywhere with white sands, blue lagoons, nautical-themed piano bars or taxidermy swordfish, this bag is a winner. You can carry it in St. Somewhere or the South Pacific. You could go matchy-matchy and pair it with wedge heel esparadrilles; go casual with sandals or beach-appropriate flip-flops. This purse looks big enough for a small camera, trial-size SPF, wallet and room key. And “room key” is one of my favorite words.

Or, if you can’t find $500 in your couch cushions, San Diego Hat Company has two nice beach totes, one for $60 and another for the low, low price of $24. The latter is super cute and was supposedly shown in Glamour magazine. At least you won’t care if you lose it or get stains on it.
