One reviewer shares, "I brought this bag on my honeymoon to Jamaica and it served as my personal item on the plane and my beach bag. It was spacious and held my towel, book, and sunscreens. I love that sand doesn't stick to the bottom, and it was easy to shake any residual sand out of the bag. I also threw this in the washing machine on cold and air dried it and it came out perfect!"
