What do you think of this as a beach bag?

How about this one. Its Eric Javits

If it were me, I'd be really worried that the first bag would get trashed very easy on the beach.

The Eric Javits one looks much more suitable - it'll take all your wet stuff etc. and can just be wiped down. My only concern is that the clear plastic may get scratched by sand?
 
The Eric Javits one comes in orange and hot pink as well. Now that you guys mention it, red would be hot wouldnt it. I also have a red bathing suit and a black one with some red in the pattern thats on it.

I guess I have to keep looking now!

If you don't mind me asking, where did you find the Eric Javits tote? I'd LOVE that too!
