Woven from high-quality recycled cotton

These large beach blankets are gentle on sensitive skin - perfect for newborns, kids, or anyone who prefers natural textures over synthetic feel.

From beach blanket to cuddle zone, these large beach blankets move with your family’s rhythm.

It’s not just because of the size, the softness, or the stunning designs - it’s because it becomes theirs. Woven into their traditions, their road trips, their Sunday mornings. It’s the large beach blanket their child takes to the park every week. The one they reach for when the stars are out and marshmallows are roasting.

Beach Blanket Australia Style With Soul

Australia’s landscapes have a way of pulling you in -from wide blue coastlines to eucalyptus-dappled forests. We wanted our large beach blankets to reflect that. To carry the essence of our land in every fibre. That’s why our designs are proudly sketched and developed here, in Australia, by Megan a nature-loving creative and parent who lives the lifestyle we design for.

And because we’re committed to creating a better future for our kids, we’ve chosen materials and partners who align with our values. Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword for us - it’s a promise. From slow batch production to conscious packaging, we’re doing our part to tread lightly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Large Beach Blankets

A good beach blanket should be large enough to stretch out on, soft enough to nap on, and durable enough to handle sand, salt, and sun. Our large beach blankets tick every box - they’re woven from recycled cotton for a natural, breathable feel and designed to shake off sand easily. Lightweight yet generously sized, they fold down small but open up big, offering the perfect patch of comfort whether you're drying off after a swim or sharing snacks with friends.

If you don’t have a dedicated beach blanket, a large towel, sarong, or picnic rug might do in a pinch - but they’re often too small, too heavy, or not quite comfy. That’s where our large beach blankets come in. Softer and more spacious than a towel, and much more stylish than a tarp, they’re woven to be your go-to for beach lounging, backyard reading, or riverside hangs. Once you’ve tried one, you won’t want to use anything else.

Sand Cloud blankets are typically made from Turkish cotton, known for being lightweight and absorbent. While lovely in their own right, at Bilby Threads, our large beach blankets are woven from recycled cotton blends, combining comfort with sustainability. They’re thicker and more textured than standard Turkish towels, offering extra softness and warmth for long days by the shore. Plus, they’re eco-conscious and made to last - perfect for sun-chasers with a love for the planet.

The main difference lies in the design and feel. Picnic blankets are made for grassy parks and firm ground. In contrast, beach blankets are usually softer, sand-friendly, and easier to shake off after a long day by the sea. Our large beach blankets are the best of both worlds - woven for beauty and function, durable enough for picnics, but made to shine at the beach with natural fibres that won’t trap sand and won’t stick to your skin.
