Games that U can bet on
Fun at the beach comes in many shapes and sizes. It could be anything from paddleboarding to relaxing and reading a book. If you want to add a little competition to your time at the beach, or need to entertain some children, beach games are the perfect answer. Many are action-packed and will keep you entertained long past sunset. Below are the best beach games for you and your friends and family.
Escape Kit
Do your little ones dream of becoming heroes? Invite their friends to the beach for a life-size escape room, thanks to Escape Kit. The concept is simple: Choose your favorite adventure, download your kit, print out the fun, life-size puzzles, and set up the game at the beach for an innovative activity. With the help of the original cards, the children will have to search for clues and hidden items, find their way out of mysterious mazes, paint over drawings, and solve riddles. Several themes are available: the magic of Harry Potter, the magical world of princesses, the power of superheroes, the treasure island of pirates, and the enchanted world of the Little Prince.
HunnyBall
In the mood for some friendly competition? Try Hunnyball, an exciting and innovative take on the classic game of catch. The game consists of a portable board and a ball and is intended to be played by two teams of at least two players each. The server from the team on offense starts the game by bouncing the ball off the board for members of the team on defensive to catch. The team on defensive can then pass the ball twice before taking a shot at the board to continue the rally. The rally is over if a team misses a catch, misses the board, or a shot off the board goes out of bounds, and the team on offense can score points by blocking passes. With a simple yet fast-paced concept and super-portable and minimal equipment, Hunnyball is specifically designed to offer hours of seaside fun.
Spike Ball
Ever since spikeball was revived, it’s been one of the most popular ball games for the beach. Two teams of two battle it out in this game which combines four square and volleyball. Each team has three alternating touches to return the ball to the other team by bouncing it off the net. If your team can’t return the ball to the net after three touches then the other team gets a point. This Spikeball kit lets you play indoors or outdoors and includes two extra balls. You can adjust the tightness of the net to your preference and the legs are foldable to help with storage. It also comes with a drawstring carrying bag to make it easier to transport. Spikeball is easy to learn and will bring out the competitive side in everyone
Tidal Ball
Born in South Carolina, this fun beach game is a mashup of cornhole and bocce ball. Thankfully, you don’t have to carry cornhole boards around to play it. The whole game package only weighs around 10 ounces. Once you get to the beach, use the included sand scoop to dig two holes ten paces apart and a trench behind each hole. You and a partner will compete against another team of two. A ball in the hole equals three points and a ball in the trench equals one point. Along with the sand scoop, this TidalBall set includes six balls (three for each team) and two koozies. All of this comes in a mesh bag that easily fits in your beach bag. TidalBall is a lightweight, no-hassle beach game that continues to grow in popularity.
Bocce Ball
When it comes to beach activities, bocce ball is one of the most popular. This game dates back to 5,000 BC and is well-known around the world. Two people can play against each other or you can play with two teams of two. The ultimate goal is to get your ball closer to the target ball (called the pallino) than your opponent. The Basics Bocce Ball Set includes four red balls, four green balls, one white pallino, and a measuring device (to use when there’s a discrepancy of which ball is closest to the pallino). You can choose balls between 90mm and 100mm, and you’ll carry them in the included case. Bocce ball is an easy and fun game that can be played almost anywhere.
Corn Hole
Cornhole tests how well you can aim and throw a bean bag. You and your partner will battle another team of two to see who can get more bags in the hole. A bag in the hole gets three points, while a bag that lands on the board only gets one point. Many of the cornhole boards you’ll see are made of wood and are tough to move. Thankfully they created collapsible and portable cornhole boards so you can play on the beach, in the park, or wherever you’d like without having to lug around heavy boards. This set includes two 3’ x 2’ 300D polyfabric boards, eight 3.5” x 3.5” 300D polyfabric cornhole bags, eight stakes, and a 1.25’ x 1.25’ carrying case. Cornhole set is one of the best beach games for adults and kids.
Activ Flyer
It can be challenging to find entertaining beach games for kids, but Activ Flyer has succeeded. These flying rings only weigh about an ounce so they’re safe for children as young as three. Because they’re so much lighter than frisbees they won’t hurt your fingers and they fly straight with minimal effort.

If you want to get your kids outdoors for some fun, let them know you have Activ Flyers.
Waterproof Playing Cards
One of the staples for having fun at the beach is playing cards. Unfortunately, water and standard playing cards don’t mix. That’s where the Waterproof Playing Cards come in. Along with being waterproof, they’re flexible, easy to shuffle, and hand-washable. They’re the size of standard playing cards and are printed on premium clear plastic card stock. The deck weighs less than an ounce so they can easily follow you on all of your outdoor adventures. Whether you’re taking them to the beach, on a camping trip, or to a picnic, the Waterproof Playing Cards are the best option for playing everything from go fish to poker.
Kan Jam
Originally called “Garbage Can Frisbee”, Kan Jam took some aspects of frisbee golf, cornhole, and basketball and combined them to create number one outdoor party game. Teams of two battle against each other to be the first to reach 21 points. You throw the frisbee 50 feet toward the can – which is also where your teammate is. If you hit the can you get two points, if your teammate can knock your frisbee into the top of the can you get three points, if your teammate deflects the frisbee and it hits the can you get one point, and if you throw the frisbee into the small slot in the side of the can it’s an instant win for your team. This Kan Jam set comes with two cans and one frisbee. To add some competitive action to your day at the beach, bring along Kan Jam.
