Why Every Beach Lover Needs A Cool Beach Towel

Sick of stanky beach or (clutch my pearls!) bath towels that collect sand, dirt and God-knows-what-else at the beach?

Fear not, fellow sun-worshippers. You don't need to stop enjoying the beach or settle for a subpar towel experience. All you need is a cool beach towel that matches your vibe and simplifies your life.

Gone are the days when lush, plush, hotel-quality beach towels were the norm. The era of thin yet comfortable towels made from microfiber fabric have arrived.

Wondering why you need a cool beach towel? 

Let us tell you why a Happy Faced beach towel is a great alternative to traditional beach towels.

9 reasons to buy a cool beach towel

9. Quick drying = better health and hygiene

Obviously quick-drying beach towels do exactly that: return to their ready-to-dry-you-off state after only a quick hang session in the sun or wind.

What you might not know is that by avoiding the damp and sandy beach towel situation, you’ll also be thwarting bacteria growth that can irritate your skin.

Translation? 

You get to stay healthy and clean while enjoying your beach day. Your towel sleeps easy at night knowing it wasn't sending you into an early retirement.

8. Eco-friendly friendly materials (because we love earth)

Did you know our microfiber towels are made from 88% recycled materials?

We believe in doing our part to help the environment, without sacrificing quality or softness.

How we do that is by taking post-consumer plastics like water bottles and takeaway containers. We then break them down into microfibers that make up our towels.

The science behind this is actually quite interesting, and while we could go on and on about it, we’ll just leave you with this: our beach towels are good for the planet and your conscience.

Imagine? Enjoying nature without harming it. That's the kinda world we want to live in.

7. Easy to pack, easy to carry

Ahhh... is there anything sweeter than booking a trip to a far-flung locale? It's all roses and cotton candy. Until it comes time to pack, that is.

First you need to decide which luggage to take. After that it's a game of Tetris trying to fit everything in. And let's not forget about the weight limit. It's been voted the worst aspect of traveling, and we tend to agree.

For this reason, we've made sure our lightweight, easy-to-fold towels fit easily in your bag or carry-on.

Not only that, but they take up less space and won't put you over the weight limit. This way you have more room for other beach essentials and goodies.

No more having to choose between your favorite floppy hat or your precious beach towel. 

Pack them both in your travel beach bag and prepare to be the hottest dude or chick on sand.

6. Block out the bad. Absorb the water

Hats off to the humble bath towel. A round of applause to beautiful Turkish cotton towelettes. A doff of the cap to striped beach towels from Walmart.

These guys deserve some credit, but let's be honest. You don't need an over-fluffed bath towel at the beach. You need a thin, stylish, cool beach towel that can absorb water like nobody's business.

Our microfiber towels are designed to quickly and efficiently wick away moisture from your skin, leaving you feeling dry and comfortable (even on the hottest of days, a-thank you).

Don't be deceived by their light and delicate appearance. 

In addition to being tough, a Happy Faced beach towel is super soft, ultra absorbent and will leave you feeling refreshed and ready for some more fun in the sun.

5. Sand stays where it belongs... on the beach

Ever since towels have been around, there's been an ancient battle between sand and fiber.

Sand wants to come with you back home. You want sand to stay where it belongs. Sure, you could opt for the pool or only use your towel while hiking, camping or during yoga. But you shouldn't live your life in fear of those tiny grains of grimness. It's just sand, after all.

So here's what we suggest.

Take your cool beach towel to the ocean. Lay on it. Use it to dry off. Do whatever you want. Then, simply pack up at the end of the day and perform the old flick-and-whip maneuver.

Sand will leave your towel, fly through the air and land back on the beach where it belongs.

No more tracking sand through your car. No more drying off after the gym with a towel that feels like sandpaper.

Our towels are sand-resistant and stylish, which means you can say "see ya later, sand!" and rock a beach towel that looks as good as it performs.

4. Soft on skin for low-key luxury

While most brands aim for the highest thread count or softest fabric, we focus on creating a towel that is gentle and silky to the touch.

Our microfiber towels are hypoallergenic and perfect for sensitive skin. Say goodbye to rough, scratchy towels that leave you feeling uncomfortable after a day at the beach.

Instead, wrap yourself in the smooth, soft embrace of a Happy Faced beach towel and let your worries melt away.

It's like being swaddled in your baby blanket... if that blanket was made from a combination of angel hair and warm butter.

They're THAT comfortable you'll want to wear them out on the town. And you know what? You can do that if you want. No judgment here.

3. Sunbathing, drying off, picnics and more

Yes, having a cool beach towel is essential for a day at the beach. But did you know it can also serve multiple purposes?

Whether it's sunbathing, drying off after a dip in the ocean or having a picnic on the sand, our towels are versatile enough to use for all your outdoor activities.

And because they're easy to clean and quick-drying, you can simply throw them on the clothesline or in the dryer and they'll be ready for your next adventure.

Let's see a thick linen Turkish towel do that.

2. Designs to match your style and mood

"If your towels don't collect sand, Happy Faced, what do they collect?"

The answer is looks, concerned citizens, because our art-adorned towels turn heads so quickly we might be the cause behind a recent spike in chiropractic visits.

Seriously though, we're blessed to have a roster of highly talented creatives and artists who breathe life into our beach towels. They make them more than just vapid accessories. And because of that, our art towels are a reflection of your personality.

You can find crazy, tripped out beach towel designs, funky throwback motifs and interesting art that'll make you look, pause and look again.

In saying that, we always make sure the quality of our beach towels comes first.

So despite the fact they appear to be more art than towel, rest assured... they're still absorbent, lightweight and ideal for your beach adventures.

1. Beach towels that bring joy to your life

Finally, the number one reason why you need a cool beach towel like ours is that they're a not-so-subtle reminder to enjoy life!

These aren't your nanna's bath towels. They're fast-drying, sand-hating, colorful beach towels designed to enhance your time at the beach, pool, while camping or just hanging around by the water.

Life is, after all, not to be taken seriously. And we like to think that a Happy Faced beach towel can bring levity to your day-to-day life, allowing you to relax, have fun and let your inner child run wild.

Wrapping up

Bath towels are for baths. A Happy Faced beach towel is for wherever your sand and salt adventures take you. Adults love them. Kids love them too.

They're lightweight, packable and because they're made from recycled materials, they're great for the planet. What they don't do is collect sand or cost as much as one of those fancy good-for-nuffin Turkish towels.

So please, consider Happy Faced for your next trip to the beach. Your towel (and your mood) will thank you.
