Beach Sports Gear

Planning to hit the sand for some sun this summer? Check out the essential sports gear you need for a day at the beach.

Beach Sports Gear - Beach Volleyball

A volleyball is the ultimate piece of beach sports gear. Beach volleyball is a great social game and a fun way to appreciate a nice patch of soft sand. All you need to play is a ball and net, which you can usually find at most department stores. If you can't track down a net, you can still bring a volleyball and hit it back and forth with your friends.

Beach Sports Gear - Horseshoes

A set of horseshoes are perfect for a day at the beach, whether you're playing on sand or grass. Horseshoes is a laid back game, takes limited athletic ability and can be played by all ages. Just make sure you watch where you're throwing - a horseshoe to the head brings an early end to any beach party.

Beach Sports Gear - Beach Bocce

Hit the sand for a game of beach bocce. Bocce is usually played on grass, but don't let that stop you from picking up a set of balls and playing on the sand. Bocce is easy to learn and is a fun game for playing with a group of friends or family. It's also the ideal game for summer days at the park or your backyard.

Beach Sports Gear - Frisbee

Whether you're just playing catch with your friends, going long to your dog or playing a game of Ultimate, a frisbee is must-bring piece of sports equipment for any afternoon at the beach. "Accidently" tossing a frisbee towards that hottie or group of hotties you've been scoping out all day can also be a unique way to meet people.
