But when you add towels, fun gadgets, sunscreen, and summer reads to your beach bag, it can fill up fast. To save space (and weight), Amazon shoppers have found an excellent solution in these absorbent Turkish beach towels — and they're on sale for under $25. The Wetcat Turkish Towels are a best-seller in Amazon's Beach Towels category, and they have more than 7,000 five-star ratings and hundreds of positive reviews. The hallmark feature of the towel is it's made from 100 percent Turkish cotton in a single, large size (38 by 71 inches). Plus, without the bulk of a traditional terry beach towel, the Turkish towels are quick drying and equally as absorbent. Courtesy of Amazon BUY IT: $22.99 (orig. $29.99); amazon.com "This exceeded my expectations," wrote one five-star reviewer. "It is generously sized, washes easily, dries quickly, and is very absorbent." Another shopper who traveled with their towels said, "Best item we took on our trip to Hawaii." They also said they loved that they could use their towels as blankets and coverups when the sun became too strong or when the temperatures dropped. The Wetcat Turkish Towels are available in 33 colorways, all made from natural dyed yarn. Each one also arrives pre-washed for maximum softness, according to the brand. Plus, because the space-saving Turkish towel is a lighter weight, you can not only use it as a towel by the water but also as an easy picnic blanket for a day at the park. The best news? Sand and dirt simply fall away from the towel when you shake it. Courtesy of Amazon BUY IT: $22.99 (orig. $29.99); amazon.com "This is the best beach towel in the world," shared a reviewer who ordered additional towels right away. They added that they're most impressed by the fact that the towel "holds no sand," which they confirmed after shaking it out prior to leaving the beach. Towels are a must for the season, but bulky towels that are slow to dry are a thing of the past thanks to the Wetcat Turkish Towels. Buy one (or a few) to use all summer while they're on sale in every color for just $23. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why!
