Even though they are wearing their wetsuits, the kids are in the pool! Our pool takes a lot to get warmed up, so I don’t blame them. I felt the water and it was icy cold! Still, it soothes my soul to hear the laughter from the pool and feel the sun on my face.
While I wish it was a case of endless summer, living in Cape Town does mean the beach outings are a regular weekly (if not daily) occurrence – even on sunny winter days.. Most Capetonains have mastered the art of acquiring the right selection of fashionable beach essentials. One essential in the arsenal is the humble beach towel, a staple for long leisurely days on the Atlantic Seaboard.

The beach towel has had a revival over the years with statement making designs, oversized options and even round shapes making waves. Locally produced options using organic and sustainable materials are also on the rise. Whether your needs include full coverage, quick drying or thick pile plushness, these standout options have you covered all summer long.
