12 Best Beach Towels on Amazon in 2023 — Amazon Summer Essentials

POV: You're prepping for your beach adventure and you can check swimsuits, cover-ups, sandals, sunscreen, and beach umbrella off your list—but your ratty, old beach towel has seen better days. My advice? Throw it out, like, right now, and check out all the pretty beach towels Amazon has to offer. (Get hype because there’s a lot to choose from!!!)

Below, you'll find the best beach towels on Amazon great for chillin’, drying, and photo-op purposes. Obviously, they’re not only affordable (we can always trust the ‘Zon for the *chef’s kiss* prices), but also have the approval of thousands of customers! Huzzah! You can expect all of these options to be soft to the touch, super absorbent, and hella durable. Plus, they're big enough to lay on (some can fit you and some pals!) and will quickly dry you off when you're out of the water. Oh, and BTW, I even found you some that come in packs so that you can really get that bang for your buck! You're welcome!!

Alrighty now, keep on scrolling for top-rated beach towels—from microfiber ones to 100 percent Turkish cotton options—you can snag with that epic Prime shipping.

How can you say no to two-for-one beach towels? Especially ones as pretty as these? This dreamy cotton bundle has the approval of over 2,500 happy reviewers with a lot of them specifically praising the softness… So you know these gotta come with ya on your next beach vacay. And, FYI, they're available in 27 other colorways and patterns. Have at it!

Buyers love this Amazon find for its thick and durable fabric, absorbency, and its large size. I mean, it has that "Amazon's Choice" badge for a reason!

One word: pocket. Yep, this option has a built-in pocket on it so that you can keep essentials like your phone, keys, and/or wallet close by and protected while you're basking in the sun.

If you're on the hunt for a beach towel that's cozy, big enough to fit you and a couple of loved ones comfortably, and will serve as a cute prop for your Insta pics, stop scrolling and add this to your cart RN. (Take it from someone who always uses a decorative round beach towel for photo purposes. 😏)

For all those people out there who are constantly in and out of the water when you're at the beach, microfiber towels are the move. Why? Because of their durability, fast-drying, and absorbent capabilities. This chic pack is currently less than 30 bucks!

But did you know you can get a fabulous beach towel made of 100 percent Turkish cotton from Amazon for super cheap?! Well, believe it! A reviewer raved about this one saying: "They are nice to the feel, they are extremely absorbent, they wash and dry up well, in fact, you could hang it up and it’ll be dry in 20 minutes."

Sand Cloud is known for its luxury Turkish cotton beach towels with the prettiest, most on-trend designs. They're quick-drying, sand-resistant, and incredibly versatile. Use it at the beach or as a picnic blanket, yoga mat, or tapestry. Bonus: For every purchase, the brand donates 10 percent of profits to save marine life.

All I gotta say is that this colorful four-pack has over 8,000 enthusiastic reviews!!! You'll never have to worry about not having a beach towel ever again!

A set of six ultra-soft Turkish cotton towels for the price of one? Absolutely. This deal is perf if you're headed on a fam vacay, bachelorette party, or friends trip!

It only makes sense to soak up the sun rays in a sun-themed towel, am I right? (And the fact that this one is five-star rated isn't too shabby either!)

In honor of 2023 being the year of Eras/our lord and savior T. Swizzle, it's only right for all you Lovers out there to get a rainbow beach towel for all your summer excursions! Plus, with this bright bb, your friends will be able to spot ya in a flash.

Your beach mood in towel form. Period.
