Seafolly Textured One Piece Swimsuit

Australian beach brand Seafolly is known for its activity-friendly yet stylish suits. While this one has a more conservative high rise in the front to prevent slippage, it offers some surprise with a low scoop in the back (along with thick straps for extra hold).

Summersalt The Deep Dive One Piece Swimsuit

Summersalt swimwear checks all our boxes: the suits provide built-in soft cups and butt coverage, they're made with recycled materials, and they offer a 50+ UPF (that's ultraviolet protection factor). Plus, they come in lots of color combinations and solids, so you're sure to find one you love.

Camp Cove Lena Twist Bikini Top and Katie High-Waisted Bikini Briefs

Camp Cove's Lena Twist Bikini Top is fully lined and easily fastened with a tie in the back (much better than clasps that can easily snap apart), while the matching Katie High-Waisted Bikini Briefs boast high-cut leg openings and a full-coverage bum.

Anthropologie One-Shoulder Bikini Top

Off-the-shoulder suits can be totally impractical for enjoying beach time (you can't spike that volleyball or dive head first without full arm flexibility!), but one-shoulder tops offer more range. This pick from Anthropologie has a form-fitting fabric and silhouette, so it'll stay on your body no matter how active you are. We love the matching bottoms, too.

Reformation Malibu Bikini Top and Mandalay Bikini Bottoms

The shelf bra cut of Reformation's Malibu Bikini Top is perfect for athletic types, and the high-waisted Mandalay bottoms ensure you're all held in. The pieces come in several colors and patterns, but we favor the Feline print for a playful look.
