Women's board and swim shorts are an easy option when you want a little more coverage while you swim or head out with a board. This collection brings together board shorts and swim shorts in classic L.L.Bean style, with choices for a wide range of preferences.
Choose from longer board-short silhouettes and swim-short styles with varying rises and leg shapes. Details like waist design, pocket styling and hem length vary by item, so you can focus on the look you like best.
Start by deciding on length: some styles are listed with a 9 inch inseam, while others are shorter. Then review each item's Size & Fit notes and measurements before choosing a size, and check Fabric & Care for fiber content and washing guidance.
To round out your swim lineup, shop all Women's Swim styles, pair your shorts with Women's Swim Tops or Women's Swim Bottoms, or explore Women's One-Piece Swimsuits and Women's Cover-Ups & Rash Guards.
