Summer is almost here, and we’re more than ready for long beach days, salty air, and sandy toes. But before you head out for some sun-soaked fun, let’s talk about the real MVP of summer: your beach tote.
At Enviro-Tote, we’re all about being prepared and sustainable. So today, we’re giving you a peek inside our go-to beach tote, packed with essentials for a relaxing, eco-friendly day by the water.

1. Reef-Safe Sunscreen
Protect your skin and the ocean! We always keep a mineral-based, reef-safe sunscreen on hand. It’s gentle on your skin and doesn’t harm marine life – win-win.
2. Sunglasses & a Wide-Brim Hat
Summer sun calls for shade. Toss your favorite pair of sunnies and a lightweight, foldable hat into your tote to stay cool and sun-smart. Bonus points if they’re made from sustainable or recycled materials!
3. Reusable Water Bottle
Hydration is key. A stainless steel or BPA-free bottle keeps your drink cool all day and helps cut down on single-use plastics. Pro tip: Freeze it overnight for icy-cold water all afternoon.
4. Beach Read or Journal
There’s nothing like flipping pages (or doodling in your notebook) with your toes in the sand. Whether you’re into thrillers, romance, or mindfulness prompts – your tote has space for it all.
5. Snacks in Reusable Containers
Say goodbye to crinkly plastic bags and hello to sustainable snacking! We love packing cut-up fruit, trail mix, or homemade granola bars in silicone or stainless steel containers.
6. Towel or Lightweight Blanket
They’re stylish, dry quickly, and fold up small—perfect for lounging or drying off post-swim. A quick shake, and they’re sand-free too.
7. Wet Bag for Swimsuits & Shells
Keep the rest of your tote dry by stashing damp swimsuits or collected beach treasures in a reusable wet bag. Trust us, it’s a game-changer.
8. A Durable, Roomy Canvas Tote (of course!)
Our go-to beach essential? A sturdy, USA-made canvas tote that fits everything without the worry of ripping, tipping, or looking like everyone else’s bag. Whether you’re heading to the coast, a lakeside picnic, or a pool day, your Enviro-Tote makes it easy to carry it all in style.

Be sure to leave only footprints. Be kind to the beach. Bring a small bag for trash, avoid single-use plastics, and leave the shoreline better than you found it. Our planet and future beach days will thank you.
