Even at 8 years old, my son still loves playing with trucks in the sand. And a sandy beach is a perfect place to play around with 6-inch vehicles.

The vehicles are made of hard and durable plastic, so your child can enjoy them for years to come. Suitable from 18 months old.

If you’re an athletic family, you might be on the hunt for something everyone can enjoy. A good game of lacrosse could be the perfect beach activity.

Going to the beach on a windy day might seem like a hassle. However, this is the perfect time to try out a new kite. These kites look like giant flying octopuses with their long tentacles flowing in the sky.

The two kites are easy to fly and suited for children ages 3 and up. If your child is young, you may need to help them get started. They come fully assembled, so all you have to do is unwrap them and you’re ready to go.

If your kids are into ball games, they’ll love Spikeball. Imagine a mix of volleyball and four square, although it doesn’t require much space. The set includes a net (almost like a trampoline), three balls, and a rule book for those who take game-playing seriously.

The net’s legs can be folded for easy storage, and the set comes with a carrying bag that all the materials fit into. It’s best suited for two teams of two players and has a lifetime guarantee.

No minimum age is specified by the manufacturer, but we’ve found it to be best for tweens, teens, and even the parents. It’s a great game to play with your kids at the beach.

Simply fill them with water, take your aim, and squeeze to shoot. We like that aside from squirt toys, it also includes fishing nets and rods for interactive fishing play with your tots.

To keep these squishy toys from developing mold or mildew on the inside, ensure they are fully drained of water after playing, and clean them regularly.

These brightly-colored stacking toys are ideal entertainment for even the youngest beachgoers. The set includes eight stacking toys, four animal squirt balls, and a floating octopus.

They’re made of hard plastic that’s non-toxic, BPA-free, and CPSIA compliant. You can also use these adorable stacking cups at home with babies and toddlers. The holes prevent water from building up in the toys, and the cups nest neatly together for storage.

Children 6 years and up love playing around with water guns on the beach. The guns are easy to use — all you have to do is pull the handle to fill it, then push it to fire. The lightweight foam makes them floatable, so you won’t lose them in the deep sea.

The blasters shoot up to 30 feet. The set includes six colorful water guns — enough for the whole family to get involved.

A strong shovel is essential for treasure hunters, and this one will get the job done. The spade measures 31 inches from top to bottom — a good size for children ages 3 and up.

The shaft is made of wood, and the spade and handle are sturdy plastic. There’s a set of three shovels in this pack, making it an excellent option for team digging and castle building.

The ocean can be intimidating for the baby of the family; it’s sometimes best to introduce them slowly. This splash mat/tent allows your baby, 7 months and older, to sit and play on the beach while getting used to the salty water.

The mat has a large canopy to protect your baby, with a 50+ UPF rating. To use the mini pool, just dig a small hole and place the tent on top.
