Best Beach Towels

Laguna Beach Textile Company Oversized Plush Towel is not cheap. The price makes sense though considering how lush, plush, pleasant to the touch, and effective this product is. The towel's 630 gsm count makes this model much thicker than most beach towels. It is also the reason this thing is much softer and more absorbent than most towels.

In fact, the product's upsides and downsides are both pretty much tied to this gsm count. We've mentioned the upsides, the downside is that 630 grams per square meter count makes this towel quite heavy.

The product's size is also both its advantage and disadvantage. On one hand, the towel is large, too large for some people's taste. On the other hand, its size enables maximum coverage and comfort.

This thick towel looks awesome. Its beachy stripes and vivid colors promote that classic California beach style, cute yet trendy/stylish, also providing that premium, resort-quality comfort.

As far as upkeep is concerned, the product is machine wash safe as long as you stick to cold, delicate cycles.

Bottom line, Laguna Beach Textile Company Oversized Plush Towel will make sure you're feeling snug and relaxed. With this towel, any trip to the beach is about to become much more comfortable and carefree.

Dock & Bay Microfiber Towel is available in various different sizes and colors. The colors make these towels eye-catching and vivid. We like the Bondi blue more than most though. The retro cabana patterns make these towels especially beautiful.

Of course, there are downsides to these designs though, the biggest being the fact that the white stripes are easily soiled and quickly lose the bright white appearance.

The product's not about its vast line range though. First and foremost, it is the fabric that sells these towels. Incorporating 80% polyester and 20% polyamide, these things dry quicker than most beach towels. At the same time, these materials make the fabric highly absorbent, making sure that the towel will be able to suck the moisture right off your skin.

All that being said, the towels are also surprisingly smooth, soft, and pleasant to the touch, considering that the line's 220-gsm count is nothing to write home about.

You can machine wash these towels at 84 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure to avoid using fabric softeners.

In addition to an awesome beach towel, the people behind this product also send you this travel pouch with an elastic loop, so you can always comfortably carry the towel with you.

Rainleaf Microfiber Towel is less classic and more modern than most beach towels we've looked at. Sure, there's nothing necessarily interesting about its visual presence but that's not something that we'd be holding against the product.

The edge stitching, on the other hand, is something that we might hold against this towel. Passable at best, the edge stitching won't always be able to survive regular machine washing. We highly recommend sticking to cold/gentle cycles, air and tumble dry the towel, do not iron, and do not bleach it. Follow these guidelines and the towel should last.

The product presents many upsides too. The 85% polyester and 15% polyamide construction makes this thing lightweight yet quite durable (bar the aforementioned stitching). At the same time, the fabric has the softest tactile impression. In other words, it feels like soft suede to the skin, snug and pleasant.

This packable/foldable towel will be able to absorb water amounts worth five times its weight yet dry surprisingly quickly.

The colors look nice and bright. The carry bag that comes supplied with the package is waterproof and comfortable, equipped with this nice little hang snap loop for storage and convenient transportation.

As you can probably tell, Ricdecor Round Beach Towel is different. First, it is round. Second, the patterns make this thing look more like Persian rugs than most beach towels. That being said, there are various patterns available for purchase here, so you can go with the bright sea motifs too.

Because the towel is round, its upsides and downsides are quite obvious. Naturally, you won't be able to comfortably/completely cover most sun loungers using this thing.

On the bright side, round towels are usually more comfortable to sit on and can accommodate more people, so you can share the towel with friends and family.

The product's gsm is not specified but the fabric feels quite thin, too thin for some customer's tastes. At the same time, the fabric also makes this towel extremely lightweight, so you won't be feeling like you're lugging this massive load with you to the beach.

Of course, you don't have to bring this towel to the beach. It is just as suitable for picnics, yoga, meditation, and more.

The drawstring bag that is provided with the package will let you easily carry the towel.

As far as maintenance/upkeep goes, you can machine wash this towel, provided you do that using cold/delicate cycles.

WETCAT Original Turkish Beach Towel looks classic and stylish. You can take this towel with you to any beach without worrying about its appearance. The colors look lovely, subtle yet vivid at the same time. The five-stripe design adds these nice little touches to an already attractive item.

The tassels make the towel look elegant and tasteful. That being said, these tassels are quite long and get tangled up quite easily (also, in the least attractive fashion), so you'll have to occasionally untangle them.

The towel is quite large, measuring 71 x 39 inches. The size allows for excellent coverage though and will be enough to fully envelope most sun loungers. Plus, you'll be able to comfortably share the towel, which is always nice.

Made from 100% cotton, this product is luxuriously soft and gentle even on the most delicate skin. At the same time, considering that it is cotton, the towel takes far less time to completely dry than you'd expect.

From the maintenance perspective, this thing is more machine wash and dryer safe than most cotton garments. We would recommend ironing after washing though because otherwise the towel will look wrinkly and not necessarily as presentable as it could be.
