The difference between beach towels and bath towels

Beach towels and bath towels are usually used to wipe the body, but they are different for different purposes, mainly in material, size and style.

Beach towels are usually larger than bath towels because they need enough area to cover the entire body. Typically, beach towels measure 60 inches by 30 inches, while bath towels typically measure 54 inches by 30 inches. This means that beach towels are longer and wider than bath towels, as there needs to be enough area on the beach to lie down or sit on, while also leaving enough room to store items.

Beach towels and bath towels are also made of different materials. Beach towels typically use lightweight, quick-drying materials such as cotton, linen, or microfiber so they dry quickly on the beach and protect them from moisture. Bath towels, on the other hand, are usually made of soft, absorbent cotton because they need to be in the bathroom to help you absorb moisture quickly and keep your body dry.

Beach towels and bath towels are also used differently. Beach towels are mainly used for laying down on the beach, basking in the sun or wiping your body, so they usually come in brighter colors and patterns to match the beach and summer vibe. Bath towels, on the other hand, are made specifically for drying the body in the bathroom, so they are often more modest in color and pattern.

If you're planning a trip to the beach or on vacation, you'll need a beach towel, and a bath towel if you're taking a bath at home or going to the gym. We can accept beach towel custom printed and bath towel custom.
