As someone who lives in a city with four very distinct seasons, I’ve never given much thought to buying a beach towel. That all changed when I grabbed a few of these microfiber beach towels before a family vacation a few weeks ago.
A far cry from the flimsy, faded ones you probably grew up with, these microfiber towels are soft, durable and, most importantly, super absorbent. Plus, they seemed to dry almost instantly in the Florida sun. And for less than $10 apiece, I was able to get one for the whole family—no guilt.
Whether you’re headed to the ocean soon or plan on lounging by the pool all season, a good towel is key (or so I’ve learned). I’ve scoured Amazon for the best pool and beach towels to find top-rated picks worthy of your beach bag. Keep scrolling to check out these great deals, all priced under $5 each.
