How to Choose a Beach Towel
Velour or fouta. Velour-and-terry towels are soft to lie on and the heavier option. Fouta-style towels are thinner and lighter, fold small into a bag, and dry quickly between swims.
Size. At 34 x 64 inches or larger, every towel here is bigger than a standard 30 x 54 inch bath towel, with room to lie down on.
Buy in sets. Mixed colours help each person spot their own towel. For the lounger itself, see our lounge chair covers in cabana stripes.
