We're Obsessed with Sand Cloud Towels

Stuff We Love
Aug. 1, 2026

You may have seen these bad boys on Instagram, but believe this writer—who has had Sand Cloud beach and bath towels for at least three years—when I say, these 100 percent Turkish organic cotton towels are a game changer. No more wet sand stuck to every wrinkle of your beach towel after a swim. No more taking hours to dry on the deck railing when the humidity spikes. And no more taking up valuable space in your beach bag that should be filled with food, drinks, books, and the latest copy of the Express. (Seriously, these things don’t weigh much more than the paper!) Head to the Dam Shop in Elk Rapids (118 Bridge Street) to shop an array of Sand Cloud offerings, or scope out the full selection at sandcloud.com.
