There's something special about having a beach towel all to yourself. You don't have to rely on a stack of tattered bathroom towels every time you want to swim a couple of laps at the local pool — or take the family to the beach. You have your own little island in the sand, and yet another good reason to get excited about sun and fun this summer. Here's where to find nice beach towels at great prices:

LandsEnd.com brightens any day with vibrant beach towels featuring wave patterns, polka dots and multi-colored vertical stripes. Flowery types will appreciate the feminine Chantilly, Shadow, Sculpted and Reversible Poppy patterns in delightful color combinations like pink and aquamarine. You might want to pick up towels for friends and family too as you earn a 3% rebate from ConsumerClub.com.

Everybody's favorite discount store, Target.com, doesn't disappoint when it comes to beach towel selections. Patterns range from sharks in the sea and 3D frogs to hibiscus flowers, butterflies and multicolored modern stripes. Pick up some sand toys and a sun hat at ridiculously low prices while you're there. You'll also earn a full 5% rebate from ConsumerClub.com while you shop.

Macys.com is another great place to buy beach towels. Summer Stripes, Floral Reflections and Art Deco are just a few of the fun patterns available, and almost all of the beach towels on this site are currently on sale. Add to that a 3% rebate from ConsumerClub.com and you're looking at a virtual steal. Happy sunning.
