A variety of
towel known for its
extraordinary size and bright
patterns. Commonly used at the
beach, near the
pool, or as an
impromptu picnic blanket.
Owning a beach towel is a good indicator of proximity to a beach or pool, but few people purchase a beach towel for use solely as a stand-in for a good sturdy picnic blanket.
Be sure to look for a tight weave, colors other than black, and a subtle tooth. These features resist sand drifting through the towel, overheating from sunlight, and add ease of sand removal.
