Which Dock and Bay Towels to buy

Which Dock and Bay Towels to buy – Large or Extra Large?

Incredibly Dock and Bay, the World-renowned manufacturer of quick-dry beach towels, have only been operating since 2015 yet it feels like they’ve been around forever. They, along with a little investment from the likes of Deborah Meaden from Dragon’s Den, have grown to be one of best providers of beach accessories around the globe. At Home and Bay, we stock Dock and Bay’s Summer and Cabana beach towel ranges, and we have just added XL sizes into the mix. So, the big question is... which Dock and Bay towels to buy – large or extra-large? 

Dock and bay large towels

Dock and Bay’s standard large size towels measure in at 160 x 90 centimetres and weigh 380 grams and come in a 26 x 15 cm pouch for convenient storage and transportation. They are quick dry which means these towels dry 3 times faster than a standard cotton towel, and they don’t collect damp smells. Compact and lightweight, they are easy to hang around the home also make a handy space-saving towel for backpackers and hikers. Not only are they super-absorbent even though they are very thin and lightweight, but also sand does not stick to them at the beach making them incredibly versatile and a huge disruptor to what once was the traditional beach towel market. Perfect for the beach, the bathroom or for travelling, it really is the ultimate towel.

Dock and Bay’s extra-large towels are a huge 200 x 90 centimetres and weigh 475 grams and come in a 30 x 16 cm pouch. All of the benefits and features of the large towel are exactly the same with the extra-large. So, the final factor to consider when choosing between the large and extra-large versions of Dock and Bay’s towels will be price. The current price (as of September 2022) Dock and Bay charges for its large towel is £25 and for its extra-large the price is £29 so you’re basically paying an extra £4 for the extra 40cm in length. 

A better option may be to buy from Home and Bay rather than direct from Dock and Bay. We currently stock the Cabana range in large and extra-large at great prices. Check out our beach towel range here.
