Round Beach Towels

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Roundie Towels Make for Stylish and Spacious Beach Accessories

— June 7, 2016 — Unique
Round beach towels are a new twist on a necessary summer accessory. The Roundie towel, from Australian brand The Beach People, comes in a range of stunning prints that are both eye-catching and unique. The towels are 60 inches in diameter, meaning they provide plenty of room for sharing a picnic with friends, or for carving out a little private space on a crowded beach.

The Roundie is also available in a Petite version (40 inches), ideal for kids. Not only is the Roundie an ideal beach accessory, it also makes for a cozy throw blanket to keep around the home. Leather carrying straps are also available through The Beach People for toting your Roundie with ease. InStyle notes that round beach towels have already taken off in Australia, but summer 2016 is sure to be the season that North American beach-goers lovingly adopt the style too.
