Bottom Line

Perfect size, design, and color options for a beach towel that folds down nicely.

Pros

Available in six different color and design combinations that are perfect to use at home or at the beach. Large size (78x35 inches) works well for sitting on the sand or for drying you off quickly. Microfiber materials will dry you faster than cotton materials.

Cons

This design yields a very thin towel. Cost is a bit high for a single towel.

Bottom Line

Large microfiber towel that is extremely absorbent while folding up tightly.

Pros

Lightweight towel that is perfect for carrying to the beach, as it folds down to a small size. Very large towel measures 74x74 inches. Microfiber materials will dry much faster than cotton. Works equally well for use at the beach or at home. Two styles available.

Cons

Extremely thin towel. Price is pretty high for the large-sized towel.

Bottom Line

Pattern that looks great on a beach towel. Extremely compact design for this towel.

Pros

Offered in two different color patterns of red or blue, and the pattern is distinctive, so you will easily discern your towel from any others in the area. Microfiber design will dry far more quickly than standard cotton. Will fold down to a small size for traveling.

Cons

Size of 63x35 inches is not as large as some other beach towels.

Large towel with more than a dozen color and pattern options, including a round design.

Pros

You'll love the multiple color choices and different striped designs. Large towel at 78x35 inches. This towel is even available in an interesting round design that's 75 inches in diameter. Microfiber materials allow towel to fold down to a small size.

Cons

Round towel price is high. Towel is thinner than some people will want.
