A family day at the beach calls for a few essentials. There’s the shade tent for shelter, the sunscreen for protection and the beach towel for well, everything. Whether you’re using a beach towel to lie on, dry off with or to wipe away pesky sand, you’ll need a towel that’s soft on sensitive skin and big enough to accommodate a few extra beach bums.
