Beach cover ups and swimsuit cover ups for women, made from natural cotton and cut to wear long after you leave the water. They slip over a bikini or one-piece in seconds, fold flat into a beach bag, and look finished enough for lunch by the sea. Choose from kimono cover ups like a hand-loomed beach kimono, a fringed Turkish towel robe, an airy gauze tunic or a belted black cover up.
Beach kimonos and beach robes for women
- The Striped Beach Kimono Cover Up is hand-loomed from 100% Turkish cotton in the same flat weave as our Turkish towels. It has short sleeves, a knee length and thin black and white stripes, and it works as a kimono swim cover up at the beach or a pool cover up at the hotel.
- The Striped Turkish Cotton Towel Robe with Fringe is a womens beach robe and swim robe that absorbs water like a towel and dries quickly, the best robe for after swimming. It has a tie belt and soft fringe, in black or orange stripes. Wrap it on after a swim, or belt it for lunch as a towel cover up.
Cotton and gauze swimsuit cover ups
- The Cotton Gauze Beach Cover Up is made from organic double gauze cotton, also called muslin. It pulls on as a knee-length tunic cover up with a wide V-neck and side slits, and it stays airy without turning sheer.
- The Soft Cotton Swimsuit Cover Up is a relaxed cotton swim cover up with short sleeves, a high side split and fringe details, in one size that fits most.
Black swimsuit cover up
The Black Swimsuit Cover Up with Belt is lightweight 100% cotton with crisp white edging and a wide belt. Belt it at the waist and it reads as a short wrap dress. Leave it open and it falls straight over your swimsuit. It's one size, and the dark cotton is forgiving of sand and sunscreen.
To finish the beach bag, add a Turkish beach towel in the same stripe. For longer kimonos to wear in town, see kimono and beachwear.

FAQ
What is the difference between a beach cover up and a beach kimono?
A beach cover up is any light layer you wear over a swimsuit, like a tunic, a wrap dress or a robe. A beach kimono is one kind of cover up. It has an open front and kimono sleeves, so you slip it on without pulling anything over your head.
What is the best fabric for a beach cover up?
Natural cotton is the most comfortable in the heat because it breathes and doesn't cling to damp skin. Turkish towel cotton absorbs water and dries quickly, so it's best straight out of the sea. Double gauze is the lightest and airiest. Plain cotton is the easiest to wear into town.
Are these swim cover ups see-through?
The double gauze cover up is two layers, so it stays airy without turning sheer. The Turkish cotton styles have a flat weave with good coverage. The black cotton cover up has the most coverage of all.
Can I wear a swimsuit cover up as a dress?
Yes. The belted black cover up reads as a short wrap dress, and the gauze tunic works as a casual beach dress over shorts or on its own for lunch.
Do your cover ups fit all sizes?
Several are one size with a relaxed cut, so they fit most bodies over any swimsuit. Each product page lists its exact measurements.
How do I care for a Turkish towel cover up?
Rinse it after saltwater or chlorine, wash it on a gentle cycle and air dry it. Turkish cotton gets softer and more absorbent with every wash.
