Odyseaco Waterproof Beach Bag with Cooler Compartment - Beach Bags Waterproof Sandproof for Women - Vacation Essentials - Pool Accessory & Mesh Tote (Black)

We were looking for a way to easily prep for a beach and boardwalk day without too much to carry but while still having all the comfort and necessities for the day. This was our answer! The mesh - comparable to most other mesh products - seems like it may not hold up well over a long time, but everything else seems well made and sturdy. As long as it isn't over stuffed and is kept with care, I think it should be fine. The extra strap is perfect to carry the bad 'messenger' style while walking the boardwalk. The velcro that holds the handles together is also a great way to add security to the contents - anyone hoping to remove something from the bag would need to separate the handles and unzip it. The zippers seemed very sturdy. One outside pocket is open and large enough to hold both a bottle of spray sunscreen and a large tube of sun lotion without anything being too snug. The other outside pocket is zippered and was roomy enough to fit two larger cellphones and a wallet. The bag itself held 3 Turkish towels (WetCat, purchased from Amazon) a beach cover, a hand shovel toy, sun glasses, and goggles with tons of room left. On the way home, it also held a huge jar full of shells - but barely any sand, as the mesh did a great job of allowing that to sift out. The cooler underneath is fantastic! We fit 3 Contigo 24oz waterbottles and a liter of Pedialyte with room to spare. This did make it just a bit heavier than we would like, so we opted to take just 2 water bottles and no Pedialyte - next time we'll be better prepared and that extra room will be used for sandwiches or snacks. There is a space between the cooler and the mesh bag that is convenient to stash a phone or wallet if you'd like it to be less noticeable than the side pocket. After the trip, we took everything out of the back and shook it upside just be sure there was no sand left, then put the mesh part back inside the cooler for easy storage.Definitely recommend this product!

After literally HOURS of research, reading reviews, comparing features and looking at photos in order to find the PERFECT summer tote, I finally found it! Stylish, large and extremely functional! This bag is extremely well made and has zippers on each pocket to guarantee a safe and secure hold of your possessions. Absolutely perfect for the beach, going on the boat, picnics or any event that you don't want to lug a purse around but still need to bring your husband's/children's items around. It even has a zipper along the entire bottom with a cooler in it!! This thing is awesome. I can hold everyone's towels, infant & adult sunscreen, infant & adult bug spray, snacks for the littles, misc toys for entertainment, diapers, wipes, sun hat, swimsuits, an entire backup outfit for both my husband & sun and my phone, keys & ID/ debit card in the front pocket! I'm even able to keep a cold bottle for son and water bottles + refrigerated food items in the bottom cooler compartment. Even with all that, I still have a little room to spare and because the bag is so well made the weight disperses evenly for a comfortable carry with the ultra wide and sturdy arm strap. Go ahead and stop your research now, this is the bag that will make your summer!!

It's a great bag, It's pretty sturdy and I think it will hold up well, It's just a little smaller than I thought it was going to be.I bought it for me and my husband, I wanted it to hold a hand full of diving toys, a small Bluetooth speaker, two towels and sun screen. It can hold the toys and sunscreen but you can't fit the towels in so we just carry them. We put the Bluetooth speaker in the cooler part.It might be fine for one person who only wants to bring a towel, some sunscreen and a drink and snack but for multiple people you'd be better off getting two bags or something else.

So happy with this purchase!! I was looking for a large bag to carry everything we needed to pool/beach without needing to carry around additional bags. This bag easily fits towels, spare clothes and snacks for my family of three - and I am able to keep cool snacks/drinks/baby food in the bottom compartment. The bottom compartment is huge! We have even stored extra clothes/lotion in there when not using for food items. A lot of reviewers said that the bag doesn't stand up when not filled at the bottom, but this is not an issue for us. I would recommend always putting something in the bottom to keep upright (towels, clothes, etc) if this is a concern, but if not who cares? Just let it lean against your beach chair, etc. The material is very sturdy and does not feel cheap like other beach bags I have bought (and returned) and the cooler works wonderfully!

Pros: 1) The cooler section in the bottom is nice- big enough for some drinks and sandwiches. 2) the zippered pocket in front and zippered top are nice upgrades over my old pool bag 3) came with a waterproof phone case which was a nice bonus My cons are 1) The bag has a factory smell that just won’t air out, even with febreeze, even being left outside 2) The bag part itself is just not big enough for a family of 4- I think I fit 2-3 towels and a bottle of sunscreen. It’s nice if you need 1-2 towels but not the huge family catch all bag I was looking for.

Perfect for our beach trip and was easy to travel with. I recommend laying the mesh bag flat in your luggage though and using the inside of the cooler to put other luggage items inside to utilize space better! The cooler bag does leak if you're juat straightup throwing ice in it, but if you use ice packs, it doesn't. Things stayed cool the entire time we were on the beach (4-5 hours at a time), holds a good amount of cans and juices and was a good price.

I LOVE this bag ! I love finding ways to keep my sunscreens cool and bought this bag thinking it just might be the way to do it...and it worked. I took it with me to a resort in Mexico a few weeks ago and put in a cold water and beer with my sunscreens and ALL stayed cool. It is a great size and comfortable to carry. Since coming home, I’ve taken it to the pool with snacks in the pouch and a freezer pack and had a few people ask where I bought it.
