Australian Beach Towels, Printed With the Places You Love

by Anthony Glick May 23, 2026

A good beach towel should do more than dry you off. It should feel like the place you take it. Every Destination Label beach towel carries a real photograph rather than a generic print, and many are named Australian locations with the exact coordinates of the spot in the corner. Designed in Sydney, built to shake the sand off, and sized for a proper day by the water.

Sand free, quick dry, and packed for the beach

Here is the practical part. These towels are sand free, so a quick shake and the beach stays at the beach instead of in your car or your sheets. They dry around twice as fast as a regular beach towel, they are light and very absorbent, and they fold down small enough to leave room in your bag for everything else. Each one measures 80 by 160cm, so there is plenty of room to stretch out.

Real places, with the coordinates to prove it

What sets these apart from the usual striped towel is the print. Many designs are a photograph of a specific Australian location, with the exact coordinates of that spot printed in the corner. The Bondi Icebergs pool on a bright summer morning. The pastel light over Sydney Harbour. Surfers waiting on a glassy line up, seen from above. With the named designs you are not buying a pattern. You are taking a place with you.

An easy gift

They also make a genuinely easy gift. Each towel arrives as a keepsake of a place that means something, which is why so many get bought for birthdays, for friends overseas and for anyone missing an Australian summer. The Icebergs Summer design alone holds a five star rating across a dozen reviews, with buyers calling it light, quick to dry and quick to earn compliments.

Looking after your beach towel

To keep the colours sharp, machine wash cold, then tumble dry on low or hang it out. Wash the darker designs separately for the first few washes. That is the whole routine.
