Was so sick of lugging around 2 beach bags and still carrying stuff under my arm to walk to the beach/pool with my hubby and 2 kids. Ordered this whale of a bag (yep, that's it's name...) and could not be happier. The price was steep so I checked the actual manufacturer website and with my amazon prime membership amazon was cheaper. They do make smaller bags but I wanted the biggest one for our family. I'm happy with it. LOVE the outside pockets so we're not always searching for the sunglasses, sunscreen, keys, money, etc. and it's see thru so you can see your things. Recommend this bag!! LOVE IT!
