Dock Bay Beach Towel - Quick Dry Sand Free - Compact Lightweight - 100 Recycled - Includes Bag

The only brand of beach towels we buy anymore! These pack up small, dry impossibly fast (great for kids getting in and out of the water often and wanting to dry off over and over without a soggy, useless towel), are a fantastic size, and are the best at the beach because sand doesn't stick, even the fine stuff, as it dries. People are surprised when we pull them out because the fabric seems thin compared to a regular towel, but the material is like magic: soft, ever so slightly wind-breaking (for chilly kids in a breeze), and comfortable. They wash well, colors don't bleed, and they last and pack back up into individual storage bags. Read more

I’ll be honest I didn’t have high hopes for these towels when I first got them. They seemed way too thin and unsubstantial. We got them specifically for water park visits where I don’t want to lug around beach sized towels that stay wet for hours. I was stunned to realize they absorb an incredible amount of water. My kids were able to completely dry off (long hair included) within a matter of minutes. Afterwards the towels would be soaked but were dry enough to use again within 30 minutes (spread out to dry in sun with 90+ temps) and completely dry within an hour. They are soft and lightweight and it’s easy to fold them back up and get them in the carrying cases. While my initial intention was just to use them for our water park visits I find my kids grabbing them for the pool and friends houses. Use just can’t beat how light and portable they are and the stripes are a cute touch. Read more

If my title sounds like an overstatement, I work out at the beach or pool over 250 times a year. This towel never picks up sand. It drys super quick and packs up into a tiny, I mean, tiny size. Admittedly, the first few times you dry off on it, the towel feels like you are using some chino pants to dry off. But the material gets softer with time. I love the oversize for layout out at the beach or pool and that it packs up in such a small package For me, it is the perfect beach/pool towel Read more

I highly recommend these towels for their soft fabric and excellent quality. The print and colors are vibrant, and they dry quickly when air-dried. They are also very practical for travel, as they are lightweight and save considerable space. Truly one of the best towels I have purchased. Read more

Love this towel! It is a super soft fabric that helps keep sand off. It comes with a travel bag and folds up flatter than a t shirr. It absorbs water quickly and also dries quick. The size is on an average towel. My only knock that prevents it from getting 5 stars is there is some slight pilling where I sit on it. Other than that it is a fantastic towel! Read more

These are awesome for the summer, very light and absorbent. Beats heavy beach towels 💯, dries fast too! Read more

I ordered 2 of the size extra large towels for my sons, ages 13 and 10. We go to the pool and travel to the beach often and their regular towels are heavy, bulky, and take so long to dry. These towels are bigger than their others and fold up so much smaller. They're very absorbent and dry quickly. A couple of things to take into consideration....if you're looking for a soft, plush towel, this isn't it. It's made to fold compactly, travel well, and dry quickly, so the material has a thin, microfiber-ish feel. We don't mind this at all, but it is different than your regular beach towel. Also, since these are so lightweight, they do get picked up by the wind easily. I would recommend anchoring them down on the beach or a pool chair because they'll blow away quickly. Overall, we love these and will be purchasing a couple more. Read more

Perfect size and thickness. The color is exactly as pictured. I have not washed it yet but the towel feels durable - but not rough or course. Very pleased! Read more
