Layer on that sunscreen, pack that cooler and set up that umbrella. Why? Because we’re heading to the beach!

You have everything you need, including that new swimsuit, comfortable beach chair and heavy-duty sand wagon. Except, you’re missing one thing: a perfectly practical (and stylish) beach towel.

The thing is, towels themselves aren’t difficult to come across. You could just use a bath towel and call it a day. However, if you’d rather have a towel that’s long enough for you to lay on, comfortable enough to place on the ground and stylish enough to make a statement, then you’re going to want to opt for an authentic beach towel.

Below, we list our favorite finds ranging in size, designs, colors and price points.
