The Best Adult Hooded Towels To Shop In Australia

There are a million things we love about Australian summers, hot weather, barbecues, time with family and of course, the beach.

If we could, we would spend every day lounging around and soaking in that beautiful seaside sun (safely of course) with our eskies and beach umbrellas ready to relax and unwind.

If you’re wanting to take your beach/poolside experience to the next level then up your towel game and go for a hooded towel. Yes, the ones you used to wear as a kid – they’re not just for the little ones anymore!

A hooded towel is great for the avid surfer and as a swimwear cover for the walk home from the beach. They can be chic and stylish too, we promise.

So, if we have convinced you of the next trend to hit the sands, then read on because we are looking at our top picks below.
