How to buy the right beach towel for summer
Is there a difference between a beach towel and a bath towel?
The short answer is yes.
Size
One of the most obvious differences between a bath towel and a beach towel is size. Many beach towels are simply a lot bigger than their bath counterparts.
So if you’re looking for a towel for that friend or family member who loves to stretch out and relax on the sand, you’ll want to keep your eye out for a large beach towel.
Thickness
The main purpose of a bath towel is to dry you off after a shower. As such, they’re usually plush and more dense, and as such, can take a lot longer to dry.
A beach towel, on the other hand, serves a lot of other purposes.
It acts as a barrier between you and the sand, it dries you off after a dip in the sea, and it gets tossed around the car.
Beach towels are specially designed for portability and their lightweight construction means they’ll dry quickly.
Can I use a regular towel at the beach?
Beach towels are also designed to withstand more harsh conditions - think saltwater, sun, and sand. We’re not quite sure the humble bath towel would be able to handle the beach!
Best of all, it's easier to shake sand out of a specially designed beach towel, rather than a standard bath towel.
How do I choose a beach towel?
Choosing the best beach towel is subjective - it all comes down to your specific preferences and needs.
Firstly, think about what you'll be using the towel for. Drying off after an adventurous day out on the surf? Or lazing about by the pool, with a cocktail in one hand and book in the other?
Not sure what you actually want - or what you should be looking for? No worries - here are some of our top picks.
