Sand-Free Beach Days with The Alchemist Beach Blanket
Sand sticks to everything — towels, clothes, gear — and drags half the beach back to the car with you.
The Tesalate Alchemist Beach Blanket solves that with purpose-built AbsorbLite™ fabric that repels sand on contact. At 160 × 160cm it's double the size of a regular beach towel, giving you room to stretch out or share with the crew, and the reversible design means you get two completely different looks from the one blanket.
With a vibrant blue and orange tiled pattern on one side and Tesalate's signature design on the reverse, it's as much about style as it is about function. Australian-designed and built to handle repeat washes, salt water and the harsh Aussie sun.
Sand-free AbsorbLite™ fabric
Proprietary microfibre weave repels sand with a shake, so you leave the beach at the beach instead of cleaning it out of the car for a week.
Extra large, seats four
At 160 × 160cm it comfortably fits two adults or a family of four, yet still rolls compact with the included pouch.
Ultra-absorbent and rapid-dry
Soaks up over 2 litres of water and dries in about half the time of a regular cotton towel, so nothing soggy comes home.
Reversible design
Blue and orange tiled pattern on one face, signature Tesalate design on the other — flip it to match the vibe.

Our final opinion
The Alchemist Beach Blanket is one of those pieces of kit that earns its spot in the car permanently. The sand-free tech genuinely works, the size is generous without being unwieldy, and the reversible design means it never feels out of place whether you're at the beach, a picnic, or camped by a river.
It's machine washable, comes with a handy hook for drying, and ships free across Australia. If you want one blanket that covers beach days, camping and picnics without the sand drama, this is an easy recommendation.
