Packing a beach tote is an art of balance. Start with essentials like sunscreen, towels, and water. Organize snacks and drinks in a cooler to keep them fresh. Add entertainment like books or beach games. Don't forget sunglasses, hats, and a beach cover-up for sun protection. Utilize pockets for small items like keys and phones. Leave room for shells or souvenirs. With thoughtful packing, your beach tote becomes a perfect seaside companion.
