* There’s a Beach Blanket for Every Occasion – The obvious differences in beach towels and bath towels can be observed in the quality of fabric, design and especially the size as beach towels are usually larger than a regular bath towel. However, the largest of these and infinitely more versatile is a beach blanket. With a beach blanket, you will be amazed at the variety of uses beyond a beach towel. These make a perfect gift for any occasion and are invaluable at the beach or any outdoor activity. So for your indoor uses and outdoor trips, there’s a beach blanket for the job.

* Measuring at least 70 x 70 inches and larger, a beach blanket is big enough to use as a cover spread for queen sized beds or even as a bed sheet if needed. It is also ideal as a cover spread on your deck or patio where you can play board games and cards during weekends with your family and friends. It has additional functionality as an outside spread on the ground and use as a mat to sit with small children or enjoy a picnic in the park.

* The beach blanket may be the newest addition to your basic beach essentials. With multi-functional features, there is so much you can do with a beach blanket versus your personal beach towel. Some beach blankets have corner “pockets” which may be weighted with sand or small stones; others have grommets to be used with a beach stakes. The corner pockets are ideal for storing your beach essentials like sunscreens, toys, water bottles and personal items. It can also be use as an overhead cover during noon when the heat of the sun is at its peak. You can tie rope or twine along the four edges and brace it upon a tree or a post for shelter from sun or wind.

* Beach blankets are made from a variety of materials, suitable for any number of activities. Absorbent cotton, repellant nylon and even marine grade canvas beach blankets can be found. Ideal sizes are 70″ X 70″ and larger depending on your need (and how many may need a seat!) It’s a wise idea to have several for all the places you “never thought you would need one”! The trunk of the car, boat cabin, camper, backpack and beach bag are all ideal, just to name a few. These are machine washable, with the heavier blankets requiring a commercial washer. Consider a beach blanket as a perfect anytime gift for anyone on your list.
