The beach towel is a must-have packing item for kids, and it's more than just something to stand between kids and the sand. Their beach towel is a momento of their beach vacation, it can double as a fun bath towel back home, and it often times serves as a play mat or even kids' social center at the beach.
So don't just pack that ratty old bath towel, or use whatever the hotel or beach rental has provided. Be prepared with one of these fun and cool beach towels for kids.

Beach Blanket with Stakes
The most annoying thing about a beach towel is that windy beaches tend to blow them up (and then they start getting gritty sand on both sides). The other annoying thing is that many beach towels are just too small. This beach towel can truly double as a play mat, especially for families traveling with babies who need a play space. At 6-foot-by-6-foot, and equipped with stakes to keep it in place, this is a clever beach towel for kids.

Tot Towel Robe and Beach Towel Combo
When kids get a little chilly, a robe is a handy way to warm them up out of the water. The cool design of the Tot Towel makes it possible to do that without packing something extra into your overstuffed beach bag. This towel converts from a beach or bath towel into a hooded robe.
