11 of the Chicest Beach Towels for Waterside Lounging
Stay stylish by the water with these brightly hued towels.
Believe it or not, your secret weapon for an idyllic weekend beach getaway is a stylish towel. It serves as an all-around functional accessory: a chic wrap after a cooling dip in the pool, pillow for a much-needed afternoon nap, foundation layer for the ultimate picnic, blanket when the temperature drops, and gathering basket for loads of perfect seashells. The list goes on and on!
Not all beach and pool towels are made the same, though. There's the super plush loop woven towels made for luxurious absorbency, and the thinner cotton towels designed to dry quickly and pack light. It's always nice to have a few in your arsenal to fit whatever water adventure you find yourself on. No matter the excursion from a weekend at the lake to the summer at the beach, these brightly hued beach towels are sure to make a splash. Here, the best beach towels to buy right now.
