I love this heavy cotton canvas and the colors just scream:  "take me to the beach".  The bucket stands on it's own and is approx. 11" tall, 16 1/2" in diameter.  Large enough for a couple of rolled up beach towels, snacks, a book, and you're off.  The bag is reversible. The fabrics are 100% cotton and are washable. This would be a great gift for someone who loves the beach or hanging out at the pool.
