90 x 160cm is the size that lets a towel do both jobs: dry you properly after a swim and give you something to lie on by the pool or on the sand. A standard bath towel does the first and fails the second, which is why beach towels are cut longer. It is easy to carry rolled in a bag, and it works just as well at home as a generous bath sheet, which means it earns its place year-round rather than only on holiday. Several prints are available — and a distinctive print is quietly practical, since it makes your towel easy to identify among a row of others at a pool or on a beach.

Buying guide
Wash a new towel before first use — manufacturing finishes sit on the fibres and block absorbency, which is why a brand new towel can feel as though it is pushing water around. Never use fabric softener, which coats fibres and permanently reduces how much water a towel takes up. After the beach, shake all the sand out before it goes near a washing machine, and rinse chlorine or salt promptly, since both degrade fabric over time. Dry fully before folding, and hang spread out rather than doubled over a rail so it dries evenly.
How it compares
Against a bath towel, this is long enough to lie on. Against a microfibre travel towel, cotton-style beach towels feel better and absorb more, though they are bulkier and slower to dry. For a backpacking trip, microfibre packs smaller.
