A magnetized game board so you don’t lose your game pieces Get Elite Outdoor Ring Toss from Amazon for $26.99 9. It also comes with two sets of five rings, one made of plastic and one made of rope, which means you can opt to have “beach” rings and “home” rings (if you, too, want to hone your skills between shore trips). This particular set is great for the beach because it’s easy to dismantle-and reconstruct-and comes with a carrying case so you can take it with you wherever you go.

Each post is worth a certain number of points, so whoever has the most points at the end wins. The function of the game is in its name-players toss the titular ring towards five stakes clustered together, with the goal of landing around one of the stakes.

It’s easier said than done when your running surface is sand. To play, two teams take turns playing the field and coming up to “bat”-i.e., attempting to kick the massive ball as far into the outfield as possible to give time to round the bases and score. The game is played like baseball (but with your feet), so you’ll need a large open space for the playing field and at minimum eight people to populate two teams-or a friendly demeanor to convince your beach neighbors to move their stuff and join the fun.

But the ball isn’t the only thing that’s massive. According to one reviewer, its size makes it less dense than other kickballs, which also makes it less likely to sting if it hits someone.

Two or four players divide into two teams, set up two sets of six buckets in a triangular formation on opposite sides of a 12- to 15-foot long play area, and take turns trying to toss their balls into the opposing team’s sand-and-water-filled buckets-a ball in, and the bucket is removed from play. It comes with 12 buckets and three sets of two balls, with each set designed for those different types of terrain. This game can be played anywhere outdoors: the beach, pool, yard, and tailgates (and so on). And, best of all, because the cups are not filled with light beer, the whole family can join. In this G-rated, table-free version of beer pong, the buckets and balls are designed to withstand the wind and commotion that comes with being on the beach.
