A clear bag allows you to see at a glance what's in your bag, so you can quickly grab what you need, or see if you've forgotten an important item.

Many of these styles can be purchased from around 10 to 25 dollars at major department stores, mass merchandisers like Wal-Mart and Target, and discount and dollar stores. You can also find them online at sites like Amazon.com, Overstock.com, or Get A Bag.

The basic large tote has two shoulder straps and is a large, rectangular or square style like a standard tote. Straps are typically colored, metallic, or available in a fun print design. The bottom of the bag is often reinforced in the same style as the straps. Closure types of a basic tote style include snaps and zipper closures, and open types are also available.

These beach bags come in small and large sizes, and have a great drawstring closure. The drawstring type closure adds style while also adding style to the tote. Bags may have colored trim where the drawstring pulls, and/or at the bottom of the bag.

This style of beach bag has all the advantages of a standard clear tote, plus the added element of having your hands free. This sporty style may not always hold as much as the standard totes, but can be a great option for those who like the backpack style.

A clear tote can also be used to house car keys and other items to protect them from the sand, zipped closed, and placed in a larger beach bag or purse. Lastly, this type of tote makes a great option for kids to carry their personal items to and from the beach. Although kids are sometimes not eager to help with the chore of lugging items back and forth to the beach, they may be more likely to help with a cute tote of their own, and the see through design means it's easy for them to make sure they have all their belongings.

Although the transparency of a beach bag can certainly be an advantage by allowing you to see everything inside, you may want to take a few precautions. Since the bag is clear, items like cell phones, iPods, wallets, and car keys make the clear tote an easy target for theft. Purchase a smaller printed bag that can be placed inside the tote and not be seen for these types of items, as well as things such as feminine protection which you may wish to keep discreetly concealed.
