Shoppers Say Sand Doesn’t Stick To This Beach Bag—And It’s Under $20

Many people look forward to the return of beach and lake days all year long. But very few are excited for sand to once again begin creeping into every nook and cranny. While there isn’t yet a product that can totally erase that problem, shoppers have uncovered a beach bag that helps to ensure that you don’t bring too much of the beach or lake home with you at the end of your day in the sun. 

The Dejaroo beach bag is popular amongst shoppers because the body of the bag is made entirely of mesh, which “easily” shakes away dirt and sand, according to the brand. It measures 16.5 by 8.5 by 15 inches, and it has eight oversized pockets on the outside to help to keep you organized. Plus, there’s a zipper pocket inside to help to keep valuable items, like your phone or keys, safe from sand and water.

“When I ordered I was worried if it would be big enough to carry everything we needed for the beach—it is! It has pockets for your lotion and sunglasses and plenty of room inside to put four big beach towels,” wrote a five-star reviewer. 

The mesh bag allows you to see everything you have stored in the large interior pocket as well as the smaller exterior pockets, so you can easily find your towel, sunscreen, or snacks while you’re on the go. And the airy mesh can help your bag dry quicker after packing it with wet towels or sweating water bottles. Plus, it’s machine washable and available in 23 fun color combinations.

“I love it! It has little pockets for things, and the mesh makes it easy to knock all the sand out,” said a shopper, adding, “It made the walk down to the beach so much more bearable.” Another shopper confirmed, “The mesh material won't retain water or moisture and keeps the sand to a minimum.”

Don’t let sand rule your day by the water. Instead, switch to this mesh bag that allows you to stay organized and minimize your end of day cleanup once you get home. Pick one up in your favorite color just in time for the start of the season.
