The Best Summer Beach Towels In Australia

Summer is in full swing, promising long sunny days lounging by the pool, floating in the ocean or laying out on the sand at the beach.

It is time to embrace the heat and hit the sand, making the most of the end of 2023 and welcoming in the new year.

And to do that, we’ll all need to be equipped with the perfect beach towel to take us from sandy shores to sipping cocktails poolside.

To get inspired, we’ve rounded up our favourite beach towels for this summer, including one that gets Aussie actress Phoebe Tonkin’s stamp of approval.

The former H2O: Just Add Water star knows what it’s like to spend hours by the water every summer and has been spotted twice with her favourite Baina towel.

The cute checkerboard design makes it unique, while the trendy sage colour has been a staple and we expect it will stay into the new year.
