The best beach bags for ditching sand?!?

While many people recommend having little ziplock bags (or something similar) for all the things (keys, clothes, snacks, etc.) so “sand doesn’t get in” I personally found the opposite to be true! It just led to more sand in more places!

Instead these 2 beach bags completely changed the game for us! They make it so easy to shake out the dry sand, dunk in water and rinse out, and leave as much of the beach ON the beach!
