I was at the beach recently and saw the coolest beach activity ever!

You usually see people flying a kite, playing with a beach ball, or tossing a Frisbee around, but this was something different that I've never seen before, and now I have to get one before I head back to the beach this weekend.

List Of The Most Popular Beach Activities

I guess I'm a mix of both. I like to sit and relax, but eventually I have to get up and move around, going for a long walk.

If I had to pick a favorite beach game, I would say playing Bocce, but here's a list of some of the most popular things people enjoy doing while at the beach.

The unique game I saw recently was kids playing beach basketball!!

It came with a portable beach basketball hoop for pick-up games along the water.

Have you ever seen this before?

The setup was similar to putting up a beach umbrella, twisting the base into the sand, and connecting the backboard to the pole. Plus, it came with basketballs and a pump.

Not unusual to see a volleyball net, but I've never seen a basketball court on the sand!

It looked like so much fun!

I looked it up, and you can get it on Amazon.
