Beach bag item (5)
I believe the answer is:
towel
'beach bag item' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for towel that I've seen before include "Bathroom item" , "Piece of absorbent cloth or paper for drying" , "Drier" , "Owlet (anag)" , "what sweater needs?" .)
