The strap is technically big enough to fit as a wristlet, but not comfortably.  I don't think it was intended to wear around the wrist, which is what I was looking for.  But other than the strap not being big enough, it's adorable and cute and very beachy.  I would absolutely take this on a day out to the beach.  The body is big enough for a few cards, lipstick, a small mirror.  Love it, just wish the strap was longer.
