Tesalate Beach Towel: Care for your Beach, Leave the Sands Behind

Using the Tesalate Beach Towel at Dinagat Islands

As much as I love the mountains, there’s a different satisfaction on being at the beach. I love sitting or lying by the beach to watch the sunsets, sunrises, read a book or get lost looking at the unending lap of the waves to the shore. But sometimes it can get annoying to have sands stuck on your skin, clothing or even my gear. Cloths or typical towels won’t cut it as it also sticks and can often times be too fluffy to bring. Enter Tesalate Beach Towel, an Australian-made beach towel that promises to keep the sands away while enjoying time at the beach. Had a few days to test it out for myself on my recent trip to Dinagat islands.

My Tesalate towel was shipped all the way from Australia. If it wasn’t for some few days of local custom check, delivery would have been faster as it arrived in the country just a couple of days after the order. It come in a really compact package. Neatly folded inside its own little bag with a small literature included about the towel.

Expanded, it measures at 63 x 31 inches. A full sized towel but not as thick as some beach towels. There were tons of designs to choose from. A lot of them where good it was hard to pick but I ended up choosing the duo-toned Phoenix that looks like a Mandala. The back side have its own pattern as well.

Sand-Free Towel

Tesalate Beach Towel boast its exclusive AbsorbLite Fabric. I’m not sure on the details of how it works but I noticed the microfibre has a distinct texture that may also contribute for its sand-repellant properties. Anyhow I tried it on different sandy surface – fines sands, grainy sands and even on damp sand. Amazing how the sands gets off by just a few shakes.

This is a really big deal especially for keeping our environment in check. Sand density in a lot of beaches suffer from people taking sands intentionally and unintentionally. Now it’s illegal to bottle sands and them. But sometimes sands stuck on you and your cloths when accumulated can be quite be a volume too. So it’s nice to have a sand-free towel to somehow lessen this impact.

The dimension of the towel is also ideal for use on a yoga mat. The fabric does feels nice on the hands. On the mat, it provides a nice smooth surface with just the right grip. Though on a floor it can slide out. On a beach it adds an added comfort on the hands and I don’t have to worry about having sand on my hair.
