It’s hard to beat a day at the beach: swimming in the salty water, relaxing on the warm sand, and listening to the sounds of the waves crash. Throw in some good old-fashioned sand play and games, and we’re talking next-level fun at the beach. Enhance your beach adventures this summer with these five fun toys and games that will keep you and the whole crew happy and active.
Spikeball
The latest craze in lawn and beach games, Spikeball is a fun and competitive two-on-two outdoor game that you can play anywhere, though the beach is the perfect surface for the low dives and high bounces. With similar rules to volleyball, it’s easy to get in the game with little to no skill, and have loads of fun while playing.
Kan Jam
The original disc toss game, Kan Jam packs a lot of punch with very little setup required and an easy format to follow. Two teams of two take turns throwing or deflecting the flying disc across the beach, with the goal of reaching 21 points. Get the disc in the slot, and you’ve got yourself an instant win.
Create a Castle Tower Kit
The beach and sandcastles go hand in hand. Make immaculate sandcastles with this castle-building system, the Create a Castle Pro Tower Kit – no bucket flipping required. Simply latch the two half-cylinder pieces together, pack it with wet sand, and unlatch for a beautiful masterpiece.
Classic Ladder Toss
The unique yet classic ladder toss game is a must-have at every beach party. The GoSports Pro Grade Ladder Toss makes it easy to travel with, including a travel carrying case and under-two-minute assembly time.
Portable Cornhole
We all know and love the game of cornhole. But forget dragging out the cumbersome wooden frames and bags all the way to the beach. This collapsible, portable cornhome set allows you to easily set up shop anywhere and get your bag-throwing game on.
