A Guide to Baby Hooded Beach Towels

Get ready for your family's next vacation--or staycation--with baby hooded beach towels from Pottery Barn Kids. These towels are ideal for taking to the beach, pool or even your backyard. They're soft, absorbent and come in various colors and styles.

Features of Baby Hooded Beach Towels

Instead of using bath towels at the beach, opt for cute hooded towels designed for babies. There are striped and solid-color towels with animal themes, such as the Whale Stripe baby hooded beach hooded towel. It has a light blue-and-white striped print with a dark navy whale and trim. You can have it personalized with your child's name for an additional charge. Other styles include shark and flamingo.

These striped hooded towels are STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® Certified, which means they're tested and determined free from more than 350 harmful substances. The fabric is rated UPF 50+ for sun protection. The tight velour knit blocks UV rays, without any additives or chemicals.

Pottery Barn Kids also has solid-color hooded towels and robes. Both types of beach wraps are woven from 480-gram cotton for plush softness. This fabric dries quickly, and it's machine washable. Like the striped towels, these towels and robes have a UPF 50+ rating and they're STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® Certified. The hoods on these towels have cute shapes; options include sun, shark and flamingo.

Wrap your baby in designer style with a Lilly Pulitzer beach towel. It has the same features as the other infant towels--the only difference is the bright, bold print. This towel and the others are suitable for babies between the ages of 0 and 24 months, with a weight up to 30 pounds and height up to 33 inches.

Beach Bags and Toys

Pottery Barn Kids has other beach essentials, such as a great selection of beach bags. There are kids' tote bags that you can use as a diaper bag; styles include glitter, mermaid and striped. Some of the tote bags feature popular Disney and Pixar characters. Or, choose one of the wet/dry bags; the outside is water-resistant while the inside is fully waterproof. These zippered bags let you carry essentials to the beach or pool without worrying about water damage. Pottery Barn Kids also has an array of beach toys including inflatable balls and sand playsets.
