Is a round beach towel better than a rectangular one?

It gives more usable surface for sitting or lying without corners that curl up. It is harder to fold neatly and takes more room in a bag.

Does it really repel sand?

Sand-repellent fabrics shake out more easily than plain cotton terry, but no towel stays completely sand-free. Shake it out before folding.

A round towel of this type is sized for one person lying out or two people sitting. Check the listed diameter before you plan on sharing it.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and air dry. Wash it alone or in a mesh bag to keep the fringe from tangling.

It works as a towel, but printed beach towels of this style are usually thinner than plush bath terry. Expect it to blot rather than soak up deeply.
