beach towel

Sunbather's drying cloth

A beach towel is a large, absorbent towel designed for use at beaches, pools, or other waterside settings.

Bigger than bath towels, they provide enough surface to lie on and are often made of thicker cotton or quick-drying synthetic material.

Beach towels frequently feature bright colors or bold patterns: She spread her beach towel on the sand.
