beach tanning towels?

If you go to a beach (so far I've only had success at community lots designated as beaches) and click the sand, there's an option to "relax here". A towel automatically appears, you don't need to buy one :) I also recommend bringing along a radio or boombox in your inventory and then taking it out and placing it next to the towel. it's nice!
