At 100 x 180cm, this is a towel you can lie on — which is the whole point of a beach towel and the reason a bath towel is never a substitute. The generous size gives full coverage on a lounger, a poolside tile or the sand, and still wraps properly when you get out of the water. 100% cotton gives the soft, absorbent surface that synthetic quick-dry towels never quite match against skin. The white and blue stripe is the classic resort look and, practically, makes it easy to spot among other people's towels at a pool or a beach. Suits swimming, beach trips, sports and everyday use.

Buying guide
Wash a new towel before first use — manufacturing finishes block absorbency, which is why a brand new towel sometimes seems to push water around. Skip fabric softener permanently; it coats the fibres and reduces the one property you bought the towel for. After a beach trip, shake the sand out thoroughly before it goes in the machine, and rinse salt or chlorine out promptly, since both degrade cotton over time. Dry fully before folding. A large cotton towel takes longer to dry than a synthetic one, so hang it spread out rather than folded over a rail.
How it compares
Against a bath towel, this is sized to lie on as well as dry with. Against a microfibre travel towel, cotton feels far better and absorbs more, though it is bulkier and slower to dry. For backpacking, take microfibre; for a pool, beach or a day out, cotton every time.
Frequently asked questions
Is it big enough to lie on?
Yes, 100 x 180cm covers a lounger or a patch of sand comfortably, which is what separates a beach towel from a bath towel.
Why does a new towel feel less absorbent?
Manufacturing finishes coat the fibres. Wash it before first use and absorbency improves immediately.
How do I care for it after the beach?
Shake sand out thoroughly before washing, and rinse salt or chlorine promptly - both degrade cotton fibres over time.
