Large Colored Retro Toy

Beach toys come and beach toys go, but the humble beach ball continues to endure. And why not? There are few simpler pleasures than tossing around one of these large plastic spheres with your mates.

Affordable Beach Sports Equipment

It might not be as suitable for the pros as its name suggests, but this volleyball net from Mikasa should satisfy beach enthusiasts keen for a game. The old adage that you get what you pay for rings true here. The polyester netting seems strong, but it's also quite stiff. It's not the sturdiest of nets, and it's an inch skinnier than regulation. That's disappointing for a net that claim…

Fun Wooden Paddle and Ball Summer Game

Pro Kadima is known as the original beach paddle and ball game, but is the original toy always the best? This beach game is like a cross between tennis and ping pong; the small paddles resemble ping pong rackets but just like tennis there is no table required.

Fun Water Toy for Ocean or Pool

It's got a funny name, but the Waboba Extreme might be the next big toy to hit the beach. It looks something like a tennis ball, but when you take the Waboba on the water you learn what it can really do. While other balls sink like stones when they hit the drink, the Waboba actually bounces back! At least it does in theory. The technique required is something like skipping stones, which can…

Blue Vintage-Style Girl’s Bike for Beach Riding

The image of biking along sandy dunes in the sunset is so appealing, that's why this nostalgia-inducing bike caught my attention. It's built especially for a woman's frame at 26 inches and has those neat cruiser-style handlebars that are reminiscent of the bike's kids rode around in the 50s. It's particularly comfortable because of the width of the seat and the fact that it's cush…
