Nothing ruins a good beach day like getting sand everywhere. You know, when you go in for a soothing swim to beat the heat, only to come back with your towel practically buried by sand.
It’s a nuisance we’d go to great lengths to avoid – even skipping the beach altogether and opting for rock pools or afternoons lazing in the yard – because who wants to find sand in places it shouldn’t be?
Before going to that extreme, however, it’s worthwhile to invest in a sand-free beach towel, that works to do exactly as it claims and keep sand off your towel. Which is all we could ever hope for, truly.
