The Secret to a Great Beach Instagram

Hot summer days have officially arrived, and we’re ready to turn on our out-of-office emails and head to the beach. Whether you’re spending your summer Fridays on the warm sand or prefer to post up poolside, cute beach towels are a must for an Instagram-ready look. We know you’re already putting together your summer beach wardrobe, so why not throw in a cute swim towel into your woven tote to take along for the ride?
Add a simple pop of color, or pick a standout graphic to make your setup more stylish—either way, a chic towel will take your full ensemble (including your swimsuit and cover-up as well as your tote and straw hat) to the next level. With all your summer Instagram posts in mind, we’ve gathered our favorite beach towels together. From minimal hues to bold graphics, these towels will make you want to snap a photo of your beach necessities ASAP.
