The title says it all.  This product is advertised as a beach bag, which I guess you could use it for that, but I bought it as an oversized shoulder bag.  It has a lot of pockets (good) and is versatile (good) but it just doesn't look like a nice handbag (bad).  It is well-made and I was surprised that the microfiber cleans up well, but it just isn't my favorite bag.  Too bad because I like it in every other way.
