What size is an oversized beach towel?
Varying in shapes and size, the oversized beach towel can be identified in various forms - rectangular shape, rounded or squared. Typically, oversized beach towels measure from 100 x 180cm and upward, though they can become as large as 240 x 170cm.
Should beach towels be thick or thin?
There a definite pros and cons to both thick and thin beach towels, however, most of the time it does come down to preference. Thin beach towels are popular due to their subsequent light weight, perfect for families with lot's of little people. Though the downside of this, is that the thin towels don't absorb as much water - sometimes not as practical for drying up after a swim.
Thick beach towels are perfect for long beach or pool days as they are super absorbent and extra plush, however, as a result of their absorbent qualities they can become heavy and take longer to dry.
