Beach days are synonymous with a classic Australian summer, and while the warmer days also coincide with the holiday season, it’s fair to say, Aussies know how to do beach days better than most.
Whether that’s gathering the troops for a classic BBQ or simply lounging in the sun, having all the essentials with you within arm’s reach is a must.
Finding a bag that is big enough to carry keys, a water bottle, sunnies, sunscreen, your favourite book, and a few snacks is easy enough, however, finding one that is beach-approved *and* stylish is another story.
