Beach Games for Kids and Adults
Beach Bowling is a creative beach game that comes from Disney's Family Fun online magazine. All you need is an abundant supply of sand, a ball and a cup. Simply use the cup to create sand pins and take two turns each knocking down as many pins as possible with a softball. You can write in the sand to keep score. Water relays are great games for family to enjoy together as well.
Active Beach Games for Youth
Skimboarding is a fun pass-time for the young and the young-at-heart. Turn it into a simple game by seeing who can slide the farthest on the same receding wave. Dig two small trenches big enough to fit a ping pong ball in, and see who can blow their ball from the start line to the finish line first. Keep the kids occupied by giving them 90 seconds to run around and find as many rocks and shells as they can, then help them count them up to see who got the most of which, and give a cool treat -- a popsicle, if you've brought a cooler -- to the winners.
Multiple Player Beach Games
If you are visiting the beach with a group of friends, this might be the perfect time to gather together for some fun in the sun. Tossing a Frisbee, engaging in a game of volleyball or organizing a treasure hunt are great beach-related activities to take part in. These games will allow you and your friends to enjoy your time together as well as take in the fresh air and beauty the waterfront has to offer.
Team Player Beach Games
Recruiting friends or other individuals on the beach for a game of football can make for a great beach activity for all to enjoy. Tossing the ball through the air and making tackles in the sand is the perfect game for beachgoers with energy to burn. If football is not your thing, a game of kickball or soccer would be just as exciting. After the game, everyone could cool off by jumping in the salty water and riding the waves.
