Love the durability of the beach towels…
Love the durability of the beach towels and a great fan of the hair wraps. Quality is good and although it seems expensive the towels wash well and so far have lasted a few summers and still good to go on longer.
I would love to buy the bathroom towel sets but there is never any in stock which is so frustrating. I have been told there will be stock soon so maybe this time I will get lucky!
Update: As I posted the review some new options for bath towels became available. One set ordered! Sadly not much choice as the new designs aren’t to my taste but we’ll see what I think of the colour I ordered.

Hi Kazp,
Thank you so much for your lovely review! ✨
We’re thrilled to hear you’ve been enjoying the durability of our beach towels and the hair wraps - it means a lot to know they’ve held up through several summers. 💙
Our bath towels are now in stock! 🥳
You can find them available in 3 colourways on our website. You can choose between Cherry Bomb, Peppermint Punch and Tiger Palm.
We can’t wait for you to find the perfect set to enjoy.
Many Thanks,
Hanna 🌸
I first purchased from Dock & Bay April…
I first purchased from Dock & Bay April 2025, as I was unable to take my trip, hence a delay in my review
When I felt the towels. I was not convinced that they would be effective, I decided to keep my purchases a beach bag,large towel and hair wrap. I have just returned from a 15 night stay. 5 stars from me more if it was possible. Highly recommend. Fold away to nothing and save on space in your luggage.

What a wonderful review, thank you so much! 💙 We totally get that first impression, but they really do prove themselves once you use them! So happy you finally got to put them to the test on your trip — sounds like they were the perfect travel companions. Thanks for the 5 (or more!) stars! ☀️🌴✨
Nice towels
The towels are great, fold down small and dry quickly, but I have lost one of the bags and I have emailed to ask to purchase a spare bag and you can’t. I can’t understand why this is.

So glad you love the towels 💙 but we’re really sorry to hear about the bag, totally understand the frustration! We appreciate the feedback and will pass it along to the team, hopefully something we can look into for the future! 🙏☀️
I love Dock & Bay products..
I love Dock & Bay products... I just wish they made more matching stuff. I like to have things all in the same colour. I would also like MORE products. They're all very good quality, and I use my towels every day. I loved my pillow on holiday, and the coolbag. Both essential in my opinion. Keep up the good work Docky & Bay. Looking forward to more products from you in matching colours.

Game changer
Game changer. Took these on a cruise with us. So compact and lightweight for day trips on land. Popped them in our rucksacks, and dry very quickly 👍🏻

Item was exactly as described
Item was exactly as described. Ordering was easy. Apart from me having to chose the colour because there were so many I loved.🤣
Arrived quickly after ordering.
Took them on a 2 week holiday to Crete, so compact and didn't take much space in the suitcases. Sand just brushed off easily and I washed them through after one week and they dried so quickly.
The bag was so useful to put wet swimming costumes/trunks in to carry home.

Great towels
I bought my first hair turban some years ago and fell in love with it. I couldn't live without them, they cut my hair drying time, fit perfectly and stay in place securely. I've since recommended them to friends and also bought them as gifts. I also have a couple of the beach towels which are great. Nice and light for packing and quick drying. When I bought my first turban there weren't many different colours and designs to choose from and I love all the new designs they've brought in since then.

Love that you’ve been with us since the early days and yes, we’ve had so much fun adding all those new colours and designs! Here’s to many more quick-dry, good-hair days ahead! 💆♀️🌈✨
What fantastic towels
What fantastic towels, honestly bought my first lot years ago and still going strong. After a shower, wrap yourself in the towel and its like blotting paper!! Great soakage. Bought them for a Caravan as well, adults and kids, the best ever plus they dry in no time.

Great quality
We have the towels and swimming trunks- they are both excellent quality, quick to dry and sand repellent. The greatest bonus is how compact the towels are; great for travelling. The colours are also great, very eye catching!
