Fun Beach Party Ideas

Having a beach party, BBQ or luau opens up all kinds of opportunities for beach-related fun:

Sand castle building contest: Make sure to bring plastic buckets, molds and shovels for everyone, plus a kitchen timer, if you want to restrict the time.

Frisbee-throwing or kite flying: Get there early and stake out enough room to play without running into people.

Limbo contest: All you need is a pole or a foam "noodle to make this a fun activity for everyone.

Volleyball: Check to see if there's a sand volleyball court available near the party spot and reserve it in advance if you can.

Hula dancing: See the video to the right for detailed instructions for doing the hula. If your guests don't know how to do it, you can teach them!

Scavenger hunt: Make a list of items not normally found on the beach and ask your guests to find them. Whoever comes back first with everything wins.

Another great idea for a beach party is to have a camper available so your guests can change, use the restroom, etc. If you don't already have a camper, check out these camper values to see how affordable it can be.
