For a day at the beach or by the pool, a beach towel is a fun and eye-catching addition. Its smooth, absorbent fabric makes it the perfect choice for sunbathing or drying off after swimming.  Turkish towels for beach have several useful qualities, one of which is the fact that they dry rapidly on their own in the air without the use of a dryer, and are lightweight and take up very little space as they are flat-woven.
