Title: Multipurpose beach equipment

Abstract: An oversize, heavy duty beach towel is provided with sealable pockets at one end. The pockets are located so as not to interfere with the use of the towel for drying oneself off after swimming or for reclining. The pockets are designed to enclose various items that may be brought to the beach. One of the pockets is larger than the others, and is located at the middle of one end of the towel to facilitate its use as a pillow when filled with soft, bulky material. Waterproof zippers and linings protect the contents of the pockets from moisture. The towel unit includes a removable handle to be used for retaining the towel and its contents in a convenient package when the towel is rolled or folded.
