How To Choose The Perfect Beach Towel For Summer
There's nothing like a day spent reading by the pool or frolicking around sandy beaches. Being unprepared for these days can leave you in a summer's daze. Our KOO beach towels will have you prepared for the beautiful summer weather. With the wind in your hair and the sun brightening your day, no waterside adventure is complete without the perfect beach towel! While helping to dry off, a quality beach towel can also provide you with a soft, comfortable surface to lie out and relax on.
At KOO, we have a great variety of beach towels for you to choose from, including soft cotton beach towels and sand-free beach towels. But which are the best beach towels for you and your family? Read on to find out!

Beach Towels vs Bath Towels
While you may be thinking that you can use a bath towel as a replacement for a beach towel, there are some key differences between the two types of towels to consider:
Beach Towel | Regular Bath Towel |
Often larger than beach towels for lying flat on the sand | While varying in size, they are usually smaller than beach towels |
Lightweight and thinner than bath towels to dry faster and for easy carrying | Designed to be thicker for warmth and comfort |
Dual sided - one absorbent side and one flat | Same on both sides |
Often boast a vibrant colourful design - easy to spot from the waves of the beach | Commonly available in neutral colour tones and timeless designs that effortlessly complement your bathroom linen. |
Designed for outdoor use | Designed to be used within your home |
As you can see, each towel is quite different, and you don't want to be mixing them up! Your bath towel will become full of sand and heavy with water if you take it to the beach, while your beach towel won't dry you off very well at home and won't feel as plush as a bath towel. Choose the right towel for the right occasion, so you can enjoy your day to the fullest!
Materials To Look For In Beach Towels
You'll notice our beach towels tend to come in one of two materials - cotton or polyester. But what is the best material for beach towels? We'll let you decide - here are the main characteristics of each:
- Cotton: Natural, breathable and soft, cotton beach towels are prized for their ability to quickly dry a person and their delightfully cosy feel. Whether you are sitting on one or wrapped up in one, a cotton beach towel is the ultimate comfort!
- Polyester: Beach towels made from polyester dry super quickly, are stain and tear-resistant and won't pick up as much sand as a cotton towel. These lightweight towels can be rolled or folded up into a very small size, making them perfect for carrying around in a bag or backpack.
Each towel has its own set of properties that are quite appealing, depending on how you use them at the beach. Will you spend most of your time snoozing on your towel, or sitting on it chatting with your friend? A comfy cotton towel is best for you! Or, are you an avid swimmer, hopping in and out of the water and drying yourself each time? A microfibre polyester towel will dry between swims and resist any wear and tear. Whatever your needs, you can find some of the best beach towels in Australia right here at KOO!
Pretty Patterns To Choose From
Beach towels are typically available in much colourful and more patterned styles when compared to regular bath towels. They are designed to be easy to spot when coming in from the waves of the beach and instantly brighten your day. Take our KOO Jacquard Beach Towels, for example. With a size of 80 x 160 cm, these towels are available in both traditional Aztec inspired and floral designs for fun, lively patterns. These towels feature a reversible design, providing you with two bold patterns for your beach days.
You can even shop our incredible KOO Warlu Beach Towels. Made from cotton and measuring a generous 95 x 175 cm, our Warlu Beach Towels feature artwork designed by Indigenous artists and offer rich storytelling designs. For example, the Warlu Alice Nampijinpa Michaels Beach Towel is crafted to capture the essence of her father's country at Pirlinyanu and her grandmother's country near Lake Hazlett.
Types Of Beach Towels
While there are a range of patterns and colours to choose from, you can also shop from a variety of types of beach towels, including handy sand free towels that help to repel sand and hooded beach towels for comfort.
Repel The Sand: What Is A Sand Free Beach Towel?
A sand-free beach towel might sound like a myth, but you can find a few versions of them right here at KOO. They are made from quality materials and contain very small loops in their material design. This leaves no room for even the smallest grains of sand to hide, so when you stand up and lift your towel, all the sand will just slide off! Sand free towels are also incredibly soft and lightweight in their designs, making them easy to pack and carry when finding the perfect spot on the shore for your beach day.
Our KOO Sand Free Beach Towels are available in colourful styles including leopard and motif patterns and feature reversible designs that are sure to brighten up your beach day. With the sand free technology, these towels are quick drying for your convenience when toweling off on hot, summer days.
If you’re on a beach holiday, you may also enjoy our KOO Stripe Sand Free Travel Towel. Measuring at 70 x 150 cm, this towel provides all the benefits of our other sand free beach towels while also being easy to fold up into one little bundle, making it great for travelling.
Cover Up With A Hooded Beach Towel
Not only are beach towels available in classic square and rectangle shapes, but they are also avaialble in hooded towel options. A hooded beach towel is a great companion to any waterside adventure - it offers both a convenient drying towel while also acting as a beach cover-up. It can be conveniently worn over the top of your swimwear and allows you to secure a towel around your body with ease, enabling you to move freely. The hooded feature also acts as an additional layer of sun protection and can provide a layer of warmth on colder or windier beach days. Our KOO Adult Hooded Towel features a black and white palm tree pattern. With a quick-drying hooded design and generous 100 x 180 cm dimensions, this hooded beach towel offers a comfortable yet stylish fit.
Sometimes it can be hard trying to convince kids to dry off after splashing around in the pool or the ocean. Hooded beach towels are great and fun way to encourage kids to dry off, offering convenience with their versatile design. It can be worn as a cover-up, perfect for active kids who enjoy playing around in the sand or by the pool even after drying off and help to provide warmth to any child stepping out of the water. Our KOO Kids Hooded Poncho Poppy Flower, measuring 60 x 120 cm, features a hooded design with open sides and a fun bright pattern, that any child will love!
When shopping for beach towels, you can also compare the sizes available. Our adult beach towels typically measure with at least a 150 cm length and a width of 70 cm or wider, providing adequate space to lie down, relax and unwind. This size is also perfect for accommodating your beach and poolside accessories. Rest upon your KOO Beach Pillow - measuring at 25 x 45 cm, this pillow is comfortable, easy to inflate and includes a handle strap for easy carrying.
These dimensions also make your beach towels easy to carry around in your beach bags, like the KOO Kids Summer Burst Beach Bag. With a tie top and long straps for use as a backpack, this beach bag is great for storing kids' bathers & towels for those beach days.
Kids' beach towels are available in a range of shapes, colours and designs that any child will love. For example, our KOO Kids Beach Towel features fun under the sea themed designs, including mermaids and sharks, while also remaining durable and functional with its cotton fabric and 60 x 120 cm size. Our bright and bubbly designs will leave kids feeling joyful, even when getting ready to leave their seaside adventures behind.
