Beach Bag Ideas and a Packing Checklist

Choosing the right beach bag, and knowing what to put in it, makes your time at the beach or by the pool far more enjoyable. The right bag and its contents matter for both practicality and style.
Are You More of a Pool Person or a Beach Person? 🏖️
Summer is well and truly here. It is the perfect time for holidays, weekend road trips and hot days stretched out on the sand or by the pool with your favourite drink.
You already know the basics: sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen and, yes, sunscreen once more. :) Wear it even on cloudy days, because UV rays still reach your skin and can cause sunburn.
Wherever you go on a hot summer day, you will probably carry a bag full of everything you need. We have put together the bags you need for the perfect beach day and the items to pack in them, so you are always prepared, whether at the beach or by the pool.

The Printed Bag
Sustainable style: a printed bag made from recycled paper
Reflecting HE-QA’s approach to sustainable fashion, our printed bags are made from recycled paper. They have an inner pocket, a zip closure and a lining, making them easy and practical to use.

Light and washable, these bags resist wear, tear and rain, which makes them ideal for daily use. Using recycled paper reduces the demand for new raw materials and helps cut waste.

Why it works as a beach bag
- Light and portable: Easy to carry all day.
- Washable: Rinse away sand and salt water after the beach.
- Durable: Built to handle wear, tear and rain.
- Functional: The inner pocket and zip keep your things safe and tidy.
With their modern prints, these bags also complete your everyday outfits and are roomy enough to double as a shopping bag.
What to Pack in Your Beach Bag
Sunscreen
Choose a sunscreen for the summer and never leave it out of your bag. Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is one of the most effective ways to keep it healthy in the long term, and it helps it stay radiant all summer.
After-Sun Care
After a day in the sun your skin often feels dry, and mild sunburn can happen. Moisturising, soothing after-sun products help calm and hydrate it. Make after-sun care part of your routine to help your skin recover.
Deodorant
It might seem an unusual item for a beach bag, but it is genuinely useful. Between the heat, the sea and the pool, your morning deodorant may not last, so keeping one in your bag helps you stay fresh until the end of the day.
Lotion
A small hand cream or body lotion works wonders on skin that feels dry after a day in the sun. Use it on your hands, elbows or anywhere that feels tight.
Face Mist
Always keep a face mist in your bag. Its fine spray instantly cools and refreshes you, and it is as soothing as it is hydrating, a real treat when you are outdoors all day.
Pack everything you need for summer and enjoy the beach or the pool to the fullest! 🌊
