Swimsuit? Check. Sunscreen? Check. Something to toss on when you’re done swimming but not quite ready to leave the beach? Yep, we’ve got that too. Whether you’re into crochet, midi, or throw-on-and-go maxi styles, we’ve rounded up a dozen coverups that are easy, cute, and ready for whatever the day throws at you—salt, sand, beachside cocktails, and all.

This two-piece set has drawstring shorts and a comfy crewneck top, making it super lightweight, breathable, and easy to slip on. It also comes in four colors, so you can mix and match however you like.

This Amazon customer is a fan:

“This coverup is so so so perfect! I have gotten other coverups that are this material before, but this is the best quality. The fabric is not thin or cheap feeling. The color is true to the listing. I got the color: BEIGE and it was exactly as it appears on the screen. It is true to size as well.
The drawstring on the shorts are functional so you can tighten the shorts if they are a little loose.”
