At the top of our list of summer must-haves—along with sunscreen and a pair of cool shades—is a plush beach towel. The difference between beach towels and ordinary towels is that they are generally more absorbent, larger than bath towels, and super soft. In addition, many children's beach towels have interesting prints and designs, with some of their favorite characters. 

After swimming, parents rely on beach towels to keep their children dry and warm, so they need to be soft and durable. The beach towels on this list have been well received by their parents and are perfect for hanging out and keeping dry.

Children will love the fun elements of these towels and the fact that many of them can be personalized. There is nothing like dragging their favorite superheroes or Disney characters to show up on the beach, or carrying a towel with large, bold letters embroidered with their names on the front. 

Below, check out our selection of 10 best children's beach towels that will create a stylish (dry) summer for you.
