I have an awesome beach tote from JP Lizzy. It's very roomy - I can carry 4 towels, pool toys, sunscreen...AND the biggest plus is an insulated zip pocket inside. I put a little cooler icie thing in it and carry cool drink and lunch. And an outside pocket just the right size for cell phone, wallet, keys. It's a darling black with polka dots and lime green - the carrying handles are sturdy. Great carrying handles so easy to carry - even fully loaded. Even my husband said "Now that's a great bag" . And only $72. Frankly I think you'd be crazy to spend much more than that on a bag for "toting" to outdoor outings.
