I am delighted with my first ever Dock and Bay purchase. I bought the pack of 4 beach towels and used them in Kefalonia. Love the vibrant colours which are easy to spot when looking for your sun loungers. Pleased I ordered the X large as they covered the loungers perfectly. The towels dry so quickly which is another bonus. I spotted a person at the swimming pool with their Dock and Bay towel which made me chuckle!! The towels take up less space in your suitcase….lots of positives.
I kindly received a Chillies water bottle as there was a promotion on when I placed my order. I love the summer colours of the bottle. I foolishly forgot to take my water bottle on holiday with me however, I will use it loads.
The towels are fantastic. Ordered 6 to take on vacation, even paid for express shipping, had chats and email conversations with staff from Dock & Bay to make sure my order would be here before vacation and they all agreed that it would be. Unfortunately, the day before I left for vacation I received an email saying my package wouldn’t arrive until the following Monday. So, at the last minute I had to travel 45 minutes from home to go purchase some from a store front. Was very disappointed in that respect. But again, the towels are fantastic - did not hold sand and they dried quickly!
I am absolutely delighted. I confess, I have been a bit of a cynic about these “middle class” towels - what could they possibly do that my Marks and Sparks ones don’t? I decided to buy because of weight limits - and the fact that with three boys, I was at nearly an entire suitcase of towels! I am so pleased I did - I now have less to carry to the beach, I’ve been able to give them a wash every couple of days (they dry so quickly), they don’t bring half the beach back to our apartment and we look a pretty smart bunch on the beach (I know because I’ve had several compliments!). I am really pleased with my purchase. Thank you
So far I am impressed with this company. I bought a bath towel, several beach towels, and got a Chilly. Everything was packaged nicely, I love the little storage bags that the towels come in. The colors on the storage bags are more vibrant than the actual towels themselves. I love that everything is recycled and that now all of the plastic they ship everything in is biodegradable. I don't think the plastic part is necessary, since the towels come in storage bags anyways, I would personally prefer if they just sent them without the plastic. Either way I will be purchasing more!
After seeing some friends’ Dock & Bay towels at the beach we decided to get our own. Each of our kids picked out a towel and there were so many cute options to choose from that they had a hard time deciding. We are using these for all things summer and love them. Not only are they great about not bringing sand home, they also take up FAR less space in the beach bath leaning more room for snacks! Haven’t had them long so I can’t speak to how they hold up with time but so far I’m pleased! (I also got the hair towel and have noticed my curls stay tighter than of I dry with a regular towel. )
I bought 3 of these as gifts. They are such lovely colours and I thought they would make great presents. The website is easy to use and they arrived so quickly. When they arrived they were in beautiful boxes and looked impressive. However, I couldn't resist and tried one of them out. I was blown away. It is so absorbent and so much easier than trying to balance a towel on my head while finishing off my morning routine or if I am wanting to keep my hair out the way while doing a face mask. I'm finding there is a lot less breakage as I am not rough drying my hair with a conventional towel.
These towels were highlighted on an early morning show and I was immediately intrigued when I heard they repelled sand! I love the beach but hate sand!
I placed an order for three (personalized) and to quote my 14 yo daughter, I’m addicted. In a short months time, I now have 10 XL towels! I also ordered one small one to use as a hand towel after applying suntan lotion, etc., and while on vacation, my husband and daughter continuously asked for it so much that I ordered two more while sitting at the beach! They are so thin and compact but well made. I didn’t realize how compact they were until I tried to stuff 3 regular beach towels in my beach bag while my first D&B towels were in the wash. It’s crazy! I can carry at least 5 D&B towels in my bag plus the other essentials all while only one regular beach towel will fit!!
I’m a big fan and I’m sure others are too that’s why I’m not too upset when I see limited stock. The word is getting out. They’re that good!
Everything you have is short of incredible! Turbans, towels and bottles all matching, my 15 year old Grandaughter, absolutely loves them. Her Turban goes on every evening after her shower! Not only a teen, but her Mum and Dad, and big Brother, all just love their towels and bottles all matching. From their pool at home, to the beach, and then the bathroom, how versatile is that! This Family are all in South Australia, and feel very individual, and very privileged, to be using all these fantastic products of yours. My whole family from Queensland, to Sydney, and South Australia, will all benefit by Christmas! How good is that! What great free advertising for a ‘perfect product’. How easy was that for me, too. I’m feeling very proud of my‘wonderful purchases! Thank you Dock and Bay!
These towels are the absolute gem of beach towels and less is legit more! I take 5 Dock & Bay XL beach towels camping for my husband, our son, and myself and they take up the same space as 1 regular beach towel (mind blown!!!) making them a no-brainer for us. Bonus, because they're quick-drying they easily make it from the beach to our nightly showers, air-drying in between. I love that each comes with its own carrying case, never making us wonder whether a towel in the bag has been used or not yet (if it's still in the case, it's fair game). I will buy these again and again, always recommend them, and have even purchased them as a gift!
I was brought a beach towel for a Christmas present and I was hooked! I was amazed how soft and extremely absorbable these towels are! Microfibre on a another level.
Not that usual one that never seems to dry anything no matter how much you rub...these towels just seem to attach to water like magic but dry so quickly!
So as soon as I got back from holiday I ordered 4 bath towels.
And needless to say I'm in love 🥰 they are massive (great for us bigger busted ladies) and funky and space saving too! I've gotten rid of all my towels and in the process of ordering just a few more 🙃.
Eco friendly as they won't weigh my washer down either bonus! Well done Dock and Bay!
Absolutely amazing products and great customer service. I bought the hair wrap and a towel. They are super light weight, fold up small and dry really quickly. Perfect for the gym or traveling. Customer service was great, I didn't make an account when I made my purchases and decided I wanted one afterwards, they has no issue sending me a link to create an account so that it would keep my order history. Student discount verification was a little time consuming and unfortunately can't be linked to the account so would need doing each time but wouldn't put me off buying again. Absolutely love the product!!
I love the dock and bay towels. I have purchased them as gifts for friends and family and all the friends I bought them for made additional purchases of the towels to make a collection. They are great for all the traveling. They are small and compact. They are so soft and double as a blanket for sleeping on those late night flights. We always get so many compliments and questions about the towels wherever we go as all the girls have a different cabana style colour. I recently purchased 8 towels to have around our new pool for guests. I especially love the elastic to hang on the pool fence hooks, towels never blow away. Can't wait to buy the hair wraps as my next gifts for my girls friends!
I had my eye on Dock&Bay's towels for a while but never needed to buy one. I decided to buy one shower towel and one beach towel because I'm moving out from my parents.
I'm very satisfied because they take a lot less place than a regular towel and dry so fast I couldn't even believe it. The designs are very cute and the quality is good. The brand's logo is embroidered. I like the pouches a lot, it makes it easier to transport the towel or even other small things. The towels are 100 percent recycled materials which are awesome.
However, the only critique is that they are made in China and that country uses forced labor. That is why I took one star.
Just as expected my order for two super bright (ex lge) Cabana stripe beach towels was placed very easily, delivered within a short time and upon receipt fulfilled my needs as a gift to go. Colours are bright as featured online, size perfect for a little drape over standard sun bed.
They were here for a short time and were as i could see, lovely and large but so so light and in a hurry to get back into their neat little bag so as not to miss their flight to the island of Majorca, where they are to spend some 10 days, ive heard theyre lazing in the sun and on occasion standing out, sand free on the beach! Easy ordering, swift delivery, lovely product, five stars all round.
Bought two adult poncho’s for changing on the beach. Unfortunately one had a small hole in one pocket where the seam had been clipped too close to the stitches. Customer service quickly sorted out the issue- partial refund- my reason for buying was because they are made from recycled material & to throw a whole garment out for want of a bit of extra backing & stitching is un-necessary. I would be interested to know what happens to seconds & would be interested in buying them.
We haven’t used them on the beach yet, but did a dry run & ideally would like an extra 10cm on the bottom hem as when you bend over you may reveal more than you want. But everyone is different. Looking forward to many years of use.
I'm a huge fan of outdoor 'wild' swimming, and will jump into any body of water I can find! I have a very thick, bulky towel poncho that I've used for a couple of years which is perfect for winter and cold days, however, it's cumbersome to travel around with and takes up a lot of space in our campervan. So a friend recommended Dock & Bay! This is the perfect summer solution. Thin and lightweight with it's own handy bag to pack away in to, it fits into my backpack when I cycle to the lake and doesn't take up too much toom in the van when we're off on an adventure. It's perfect for changing under in public spaces, I was concerned that, unlike my other poncho, it wouldn't be as good a 'drying' standard towel material, but I was wrong. You can dry off, change, fold it away and the material itself dries much quicker than a standard towel, so no musty damp smell left lingering!
I accidentally ordered the wrong size originally, returning was simple, customer services helpful and delivery was very quick.
Love the ponchos. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 * is the length I am 65 and 5ft 6 and would fit a medium but too short so I buy the large as longer. If you have good knees then no problems
I use the ponchos daily as great for after a shower the hood is good for wet hair , Drying my hair and doing make up they don’t fall down like a towel can I also camp and great for walking back from the shower blocks I have 4 and have bought for my friends and wee ones for my grandchildren, that they use at the beach, after swimming lessons and after a bath Great for holidays as don’t take up a lot of space like a normal towel does. Love love 💕 them
We have used Dock & Bay Towels and Hair Wraps for many years now, we Love them!!
We did buy originally a couple for on the beach, holidays. But due to their softness and great ability to dry so well we decided to swap our household shower towels for a load of your, at that time it was only the beach ones not household ones available, for our every day use.
They worked a treat. Due to my skin being hypersensitive they very gently run across my skin drying me instantly and not causing any more pain than I’m already in. Ordinary towels caused more pain due to me feeling like they were harsher when going over my skin.
We then bought another full set and the hair wraps. They are fantastic as the dry the hair off far better with no rubbing needed and work wonderfully when you want to slick a treatment on your hair for a bit, putting one over the top prevents you having to use a towel that easily unwraps, falling over your face, having to keep fixing it back into a twist on top of your head before yet again it unravels, so annoying!!
So this time we purchased more of your amazing hair wraps and with a quick over the head and fasten to the button it’s done. What’s not to love?!!
We love the idea of giving money to charity while buying what we need too.
Our purchases of 3 beautiful Panda Towels and 2 lovely Leopard Towels arrived a few days ago.
They look great, they are something different, so it’s a win win.
Now we wouldn’t go past using these clever, thin and easy to pack in your case but also save space in your cupboard, Towels etc.
Highly recommended by us for sure. 💕
I had heard of these towels before but was a bit nervous as they are a tad expensive. But recently on a caravanning trip a friend had the beach towels with her. Drying towels out after showers in caravans is an ongoing bugbear & she said they are great so I took the plunge & ordered some beach towels & hair wraps for our caravan & some for our bathroom. All I can say is AMAZING & worth every penny. We are loving them & they are completely dry again so fast without having to hang them outside. They feel different when you are drying yourself but they are so absorbent, they machine wash easily, line or tumble dry & don't need ironing. I will definitely be buying more.
Beautiful beach towel. When I first received it I didn’t think it would dry as well as a conventional towel but I was wrong … in fact I placed another order I was so impressed. I love that it comes in a bag so it folds so neatly and takes up hardly any space in your suitcase. Ideal to carry on days out while on holiday plus it’s so soft to lie on when on a sun lounger and drys extremely quickly in the sun. My old towels collected sand when it had been on a beach no matter how many times I shook it out the sand fell when unpacking it but not with this amazing towel… so happy with my purchases and have recommended them to family & friends.
