If you’re the type of person who likes to simplify when it comes to packing, then your beach days just go so much easier. There’s a beach tote available on Amazon that can be converted into a pool float — and it’s only $11. The SwimWays’ Pack-N-Float is the ideal companion for your next vacation because it allows you to neatly store your family’s (many, many) belongings into a handy bag … then turn that bag into a super comfy floating device.

No more gripping multiple totes at once while praying nothing falls into the sand. This compact but mighty invention has your back.

Here’s how it works. The Pack-N-Float comes with exterior and interior compartments to stash all of your group’s necessities for the day — towels, food, water, and your favorite beach read. You can inflate and deflate it, depending on how much space you need.

Once you’re done unpacking it, simply unzip the tote to transform it into a float. Or use it as a soft, comfortable pillow while you’re all hanging out in the sand. One of our favorite parts? It’s quick drying so you don’t have to worry about waiting it out until you can re-pack your bag.

“This is my favorite floatie,” one five-star reviewer wrote about the SwimWays Pack-N-Float. “It puts you at the perfect angle in the pool. You are sitting up so your neck doesn’t hurt but angled back enough that you’re still in the water. We have a bunch of different types of floaties (including a few more expensive ones), but everyone wants to steal my floatie … Even when I take this to resorts on vacation people ask where they can get one. The fact that it has handles to double as a bag is also super convenient. Highly recommend!”

Someone else added, “I ended up buying three of these (for myself and two daughters) because they are just so practical for the beach or pool! Holds everything you need then easily unzips for a comfy float. Nylon-type fabric seems as though it will be very durable.”

Get out those sand shovels and swimsuits. It’s officially time to start planning your next vacation.
