Bath Towels and Beach Towels- What's the Difference?

1
How to Choose the Perfect Beach Towel

At first glance, picking a beach towel seems like
a simple process. You might think you just need
to pick a fun design at an affordable price, and
youre ready to hit the beach. Youd be surprised
to learn that there is a lot more to consider
than just appearances and cost. Lets dive in.

Beach Towel Basics You might be wondering why
there are so many specifications necessary when
choosing a beach towel. After all, a towel is a
towel, right? How different could a beach towel
be from, say, a bath towel? The thing is, they
are quite different. Every type of towel has a
different function which changes what qualities
are important to look for. For example, you would
never take a kitchen towel to the beach. Lets
discuss the different specifications necessary
for a great beach towel and how to choose the
right one for you.

Is It Absorbent? Finding a towel with absorbency
is necessary for the perfect beach day. Beach
towels do more than just dry you off they act as
the barrier between you and the sand. Lying on a
damp towel is more than just uncomfortable it
also clogs the towel with sand. Its best to find
a towel that absorbs water and doesnt stay
dripping wet. Cotton or terry cloth blends do a
magnificent job at drying speedily and keeping
you comfortable.
5
How Soft Is It? When youre lying in the sand
for hours under a hot sun, its important to do
whatever possible to make yourself comfortable. A
soft towel to lie down on will help you in this
aim. Cheap towels may seem like a good option but
often feel scratchy and irritate the skin. When
choosing a material for softness, velour and
cotton are tried and true picks.
6
What Is It Made Out Of? Cotton is a popular
choice when it comes to beach towels because its
soft, durable, and easy to care for. Turkish
Cotton towels are also a popular choice for beach
towels because they are quick-drying and
lightweight, perfect for toting around and
wrapping yourself in after a swim in the ocean.
7
Is It Big Enough? Make sure that your beach towel
is an appropriate size. There is nothing more
irritating than hanging halfway off your towel
and getting covered in sand. To have a reference
on the ideal measurements, aim for a width of 28
and a length of around 60. If youre taller than
the average person, a beach blanket may be a
better alternative.
How Thick Is It? Surprisingly, a towel doesnt
need to be extra thick to be comfortable. In
actuality, a towel too thick will take a long
time to dry and be hard to store in your beach
bag. Thinner towels are easier to shake the sand
off of and will easily fit in whatever beach bag
you bring.
8
Does It Look Good? An attractive design is an
important element of a beach towel. Bright colors
and interesting designs match the festive,
exciting vibe of the beach. Not only that, but
they dont attract as much heat as dark colors
do. You want to choose a charming beach towel
that youre excited to spread out.
Beach Towel Styles and Trends Beach towels are
traditionally rectangular and bright in color,
like yellow, pinks, and blues. There are also
some interesting options and shapes that stand
out from the rest. Here are some of our favorites.

Round Beach Towels Round beach towels are a fun
and charming new trend. They are usually much
larger than a typical beach towel, making them
the perfect choice for a beach picnic or for
lounging on the sand with a friend. Round beach
towels usually come in boho styles, like our
popular floral mandala style.
Striped Towel Another classic style is the
striped beach towel. This style has been a
classic staple for years with its charming
multi-colored design. Wide stripes in particular
are dazzling and unique, like the towel offered
here by Home City Inc.

Beach Mat A beach mat is essentially a beach
towel with an added layer of foam. You could
think of it as the combination of a beach towel
and a yoga mat. These mats roll up for easy
storage and are known for their added comfort.
Bold Prints Bold prints are a fun way to add some
individuality to your beach trip and make your
beach towel stand out among the rest. Bright
stripes, interesting motifs, and symbols are all
fun ways to add an interesting conversation piece.
Chaise Lounge Cover If you prefer to sit on a
beach chair instead of a towel, chaise lounge
chair covers are a great alternative to a beach
towel. These covers attach to your chair, so you
dont have to worry about them sliding down and
getting covered in sand.
11
Replace Your Beach Towel Periodically Beach
towels can lose their absorbency over time which
can leave you feeling damp and sticky. If your
beach towel seems less soft, vibrant, and
absorbent, its time to replace it, as they say,
out with the old in with the new. Now that
youve learned some great tips on how to choose
the perfect beach towel, youre ready to hit the
sand. Shop our line of vibrant beach towels now!
