Holidaymakers snap up 'super quick drying' beach towels with 50% off until Thursday

There's nothing more frustrating than a soggy beach towel on your jollies. Traditional towels can take an age to dry, meaning even in the sunniest of spots, they might not be ready for your next trip to the lido or beach.

However, there is a solution as bargain hunters can snap up towels from the Dock and Bay Summer Sale, running from August 21-28 and offering up to 50% off its popular towels and accessories. Dock and Bay beach towels are crafted from 100% recycled plastic bottles and feature a fabric that is said to dry three times faster than cotton.

Sand is also able to shake right off due to the loopless weave, while the lightweight design makes them a doddle to carry. Each towel comes with a matching pouch so customers can pack it up neatly for trips to the beach, lido or lake.

Available in a variety of vibrant patterns, these towels are designed to stay fresh and absorbent even after being washed. Among the options on sale are the Quick Dry Towels - Sand to Sea, which is down from £28 to £19.59 and comes in a range of colours such as Tangerines and Greens, Cancun Green, Phi Phi Pink and a set of six Rainbow Shores with funky designs.

Touted as being perfect for travellers and explorers, they are also available in sizes large or extra large, with children's beach towels also available which are foldable, lightweight and compact. These come in various colours including the Turtley Tropical (£18), Build-A-Beach (£18) or a simple Goa Grey (£20), reports the Daily Record.

If towels aren't what customers are after, there are also beach pillows, ponchos, coolers (£55) and beach bags on offer through their website. For alternatives, smart shoppers could consider the Catherine Lansfield Two Pack Beach Towel (£16) from Argos, which showcases pink and orange hues with horizontal stripes and is machine washable and tumble dryer safe.

Another option is the Printed Microfibre Towel (£12.99) from Mountain Warehouse which is lightweight and said to dry up to four times quicker than a standard towel with extra absorption. But the Dock and Bay towels have received excellent reviews and achieved a 4.9-star rating from customers.

One happy shopper said: "Massive, lightweight, vibrant colours, super soft, very impressed." Another said: "Absolutely love my Dock and Bay towel. Looks fab and it dried me super quick, so good I have just purchased the head towel."

Not everyone was satisfied though, as one reviewer said: "Towel arrived in good time but sadly was sent back the same day." While another satisfied customer said: "Bought for myself, love the stripes. Super quick drying and packs away very small in a nice pouch. 10 out of 10."

The Dock and Bay Summer Sale is live now until August 28.
