Guest Picks: 20 High-Energy Beach Towels

If you're like me and have a drawer full of old, ho-hum towels with no fun patterns or colors to speak of, maybe it's time to treat yourself to something that gets you as excited for summer as the sound of the Mr. Softee truck. There are so many varieties of beach towels these days — cotton, linen, Turkish hammam. And a pretty patterned towel makes it easy to spot your place on the sand from afar. Show off your summer style with one of these 20 oversize towels for lounging poolside or at the beach. — Jen from The Haystack Needle

Color Block Beach Towel, Green - $13.98 » Cool blue stripes create an ombré effect on this towel. Sure, striped towels are common and you can find them everywhere, but not every striped towel gets the colors just right.


Yellow and Green Waves Beach Towel - $60.00 » This pattern feels iconic Jonathan Adler to me. And the yellow colorway is perfect for summer: happy, sunny and a little retro with avocado greens and browns.


Beach Mosaic Warm Beach Towel - $24.00 » Who knew you could find beach towels with grown-up style at PBteen? This mosaic patterned towel has a warm rainbow ombré colorway that I love.


Boudewijn Beach Towel - $178.00 » This soft striped towel is made of Irish linen with a sweet color palette that includes mint green, salmon pink and lemon yellow. Irish linen does not come cheap, but I imagine it must feel lovely to lie on. Plus, it's lightweight for travel.


Celerie Kemble Star Towel, Magenta - $29.00 » This reversible patterned towel is so rad — I get pulled into the graphic pattern of the stars.


Echo Towels, Marble Swirl Printed Beach Towel - $42.00 » This pure cotton beach towel features a rainbow of thick and thin stripes. It's a bright towel that will be easy to spot after you take a dip.


Sunnylife Ipanema Beach Towel - $75.00 » What's not to love about polka dots? This pretty towel features four different stripes and polka dots for a chic look. I wish I could get this super cute pattern in a duvet cover!


Martha Stewart Collection Towels, Shoreline Stripe Beach Towel - $40.00 » This Turkish cotton towel from the Martha Stewart collection features stripes of blue and green. I think it's a classic that you'll never tire of.


Kids' Crayon Towels - $9.00 » Juicy colors make these solid towels stand out from the pack. I'd love one in yellow and one in hot pink.


Simone Linen Beach Towel by Choisette - $108.00 » This handmade linen towel has a reversible pattern of blue and gray marine stripes. You're definitely paying for the handmade style, but it's a better deal when you consider that its size is substantial enough for two to share.


Sunnylife Scarborough Beach Towel - $62.50 » This cotton terry towel is understated in style, something you rarely see in beach towels. I keep coming back to it because the colors are so pretty and it feels like a simple abstract painting I'd love to have on my wall.


Wide Stripe Picnic Blanket - $24.99 » This cotton find is a picnic blanket that could easily work as a beach towel. It's super handy to tote around, as it comes with carrying handles.


Pendleton Coyoacan Towel - $49.00 » The saying "go big or go home" applies to this Pendleton beach towel. It's oversize and features a big, bold traditional print in vibrant turquoise and red colors.


Nate Berkus Topanga Beach Towel, Yellow/White - $17.99 » This Nate Berkus for Target towel hits on the color I can't get enough of these days: citrus yellow.


The Big One Striped Beach Towel, Multi - $25.99 » This classic striped towel in a rainbow of hues is one you can afford to buy in multiples.


Pendleton North Star Towel - $49.00 » Pendleton knows how to design bold, vibrant textiles that stand out. This North Star beach towel is no exception. I love how it's truly unisex (without being stripes).


Corsica Tile Beach Towel, Pool - $49.00 » For something more traditional and chic, this French terry towel has a tiled look inspired by Corsica. It's a little fanciful for my taste, but the serene blue colorway spells vacation.


Blue Elsie Beach Towel - $60.00 » Jonathan Adler knows how to do pattern. This blue beach towel features a chic and modern twist on a fish and crab pattern.


Hermosa Stripe Pool Towel - $26.00 » This yarn-dyed cotton beach towel draws its colors from South America. And because it's from Pottery Barn, you can get it monogrammed to make it easy to identify in the masses. I like the cabana style of the vibrant stripes.


Peshtemal Fouta Turkish Towel by Turkish Linen & Towels - $27.95 » This purple and mauve striped Turkish linen towel has tassels and handmade style. You know it will be one of a kind on the beach.
