Waterproof PVC

When your top priority is keeping your valuables bone-dry, waterproof PVC or “dry bag” style beach totes are the clear winner. These bags are made from thick, transparent or colored vinyl that is completely impervious to water and sand. They are particularly popular for boat trips, paddleboarding, or families with young children who might accidentally splash the gear. The transparent versions offer a trendy, “90s-retro” look while providing the practical benefit of seeing exactly where your keys or phone are located without rummaging. Because the material is non-porous, these bags are incredibly easy to clean; a simple wipe with a damp cloth or a quick rinse under the tap will remove sunscreen spills or saltwater stains instantly. Many of these bags feature heat-welded seams rather than traditional stitching, ensuring that even if the bag sits in a puddle on the boat deck, the contents remain protected. They provide a sleek, industrial aesthetic that feels both modern and highly functional for the active beach-goer.
