Bath towels are typically 30-inches wide by 56-inches long. For a towel that’s accommodating to bodies of many different sizes, try an oversized beach towel.
An oversized beach towel, which measures at least 70 inches long, gives you extra room to dry off after a dip in the water, as well as more sand-free space to lounge when you lay it on the ground.
