WHAT ARE SAND-FREE TOWELS?

And while it`s fun to take the memories of those surf-soaked days home with you, one thing you don`t want is a whole towel`s worth of sand.

If you`re sick of finding your car filled with half the beach after every dip, you need to get yourself a sand-free towel. We`ve rounded up seven options to help make your search for the right one easier.

Sand-free towels are made from materials like velour or microfibre which have fine, loop-free fibres that prevent sand from being collected between them – it simply slides right off so you don`t have to stress about whipping out the car vacuum.

It is super light so easy to pack whether for travel or simply just in your beach bag. Made from super absorbent fibres, this towel dries three times faster than your average towel. And of course the best part? You won`t be taking the beach with you when you leave. As an added bonus, it is also made from 100 per cent recycled materials.
