Forget the bucket and shovel. ABOVE'S list of beach games for adults will take you through 10 super fun beach games that will turn your next beach adventure into an exhilarating experience and create memories for life with friends and family.

Water Bucket Relay

The Water Bucket Race is one of the most exciting beach games for adults because it combines teamwork with speed. Knocking it off for friends or family crew, this is an ideal spot to play at the beach. To start, divide the players into teams with the same number of players. 

Set up a starting line and a specified turnaround location, for example, a large bucket or container located at a predetermined distance on the beach. Every team is given a grain bucket filled with water at the beginning of the relay race.

Each team member will rush to the turnover point, dump water into another container, and then return to tag the next person in line. The race is on until all team members have finished their track. 

Bowling 

Beach bowling is an exciting game that has replaced traditional bowling and is suitable for people of all ages. For the first step, take an inflatable bowling pin made for outdoor activities along with a beach ball. Pick a flat part of the beach to make your alley. Put the inflatable pins in a traditional bowling formation at one end of the alley and mark the throwing line that should be far from you.

Players take turns rolling the beach ball toward the pins to remove as many of them as possible with each take. Score points based on the number of pins knocked down as you play each turn. The bowling line and the pins can be spaced closer together to make the game easier or farther apart to make it more difficult. 

Provide the players with different rolling tips to improve their precision and make the game more exciting. Get the final games on where the beach bowling winner is determined.

Tube Jousting

It is one of the fun beach games and gives you the pleasure of competing with others and challenging yourself in the comfort of pool tubes. You must get inflatable tubes like Beach Patrol from ABOVE and foam noodles. The participants team up and get placed on an inflated tube with a pool noodle in each person's hand.

Tube Jousting is meant to displace the enemy from their tube using the foam noodle while trying to keep their balance. The players confront each other on the waterfront, jostling, dodging, and weaving their way to be the last person to stand on the tube. The game is a matter of balance, strategy, and good humor. The round winner is the player who can eliminate their opponent from the ring with a knockout.

To guarantee the security of participants, play Tube Jousting in a relatively peaceful area of the water so that competitors who fall from their tubes can easily stand.

Marcopolo Tube Race

It is one of the best beach party games. The innovative Marco Polo Tube Race is a beach game conceived as a fun twist on the famous Marco Polo pool game. It can be played in the water with people riding floats for extra fun. Start the game by having one player be "Marco Polo" and the others be "fugitives."

Fugitives sit on the inflatable tube and spread away from Marco Polo, who stays in the center with nothing to sit on. The game is played with eyes closed (maybe while wearing a blindfold), and Marco attempts to catch other players who say "Marco" when they should be responding "Polo."

Water Balloon Volleyball

Well, Water Balloon volleyball is also one of the beach games for adults. It is a fantastic and exciting variation of the standard volleyball game, allowing off on a hot beach day. To begin with, you'll need a beach volleyball net and a couple of water balloons. Divide the players into two teams and give them spots on the opposite sides of the net.

The first team serves the water balloon by placing it over the net, then the game starts, and other teams hit it back and forth. The team with the strategy to keep the balloon in play for more points than the competitor wins this game. The water balloon volleyball mixes the wow factor of traditional volleyball with some wet "action," which is the most beloved beach game for those wanting some splashy fun.

Limbo with a View

Beach limbo is a variation of the classic limbo dance game called Limbo with a View, which adds an ocean or Shoreview as a scenic background to the game. To play, tie a limbo stick or a rope between two volunteers, defining a comfortable height. Players, in turn, try to limbo under the stick without touching it and confirm a successful limbo by neither touching it nor falling over.

The twist about Limbo with a View is the fantastic setting of a beach that makes everything even more complicated and great at the same time. Go a step further and try to get the players to get creative with their limbo moves, bending backward while looking back at the exhilarating scenery behind them.

Frisbee Golf

The Frisbee Golf is a cool and non-complex beach game, sometimes called disc golf. The main objective of this game is to throw a frisbee and escape, just like maximum points in golf. As for playing, choose a "course" on the beach using natural landmarks like trees, rocks, or points of interest, which may be buckets or marked places in the sand.

Each round begins with players starting at a buttoned-up tee and throwing their disc towards the target in as few throws as possible, like in traditional golf. The goal is to end with the least number of tries in total.

Each player can throw their frisbees from one target to another, which could be adjusted depending on wind speed and direction around obstacles. The player who does a course in the smallest number of throws wins the game!

Crab Soccer

Crab Soccer is an excellent and amusing beach sport through, with a few variations of the regular rules applied. Each team will split to form the two teams after that and secure the play area on the sand beach.

Each player has to crawl in the playing area on their hands and feet, with their belly up like crabs. The goal is to score by kicking the soccer ball into the opposing team's goal using only your feet and legs without using your arms, and you are in the crab position.

The game features team play, coordination, and a lot of fun as the players adopt the crab posture and run on the sand, trying to strike goals and defend their goalposts. At the end of the game, the team with the highest score is the winner!

Build a Sandman 

Sandman Builder is a creative and whimsical sand game that allows you to imagine and bring a snowman figurine in front of you. To play, your team should first meet on a sandy section of the beach and decide on a place to build the sandman.

Split participants into groups or cooperate as a team. Utilize buckets, shovels, and other similar beach items to produce your sandman's-body, head, and accessories. Design your very own sandman using seashells, seaweeds, sunglasses, and beach collectibles that you can find.

Dodge Ball

Dodgeball is an amusing and adrenaline-packed beach game tailored to be captivating and competitive for adults with an excitement-seeking character. You will need a soft, inflatable ball-shaped for throwing and catching on the sand to play.

Create teams starting with two and draw two halves on the beach for all players. Dodge Ball aims to throw out their rivals from the other side by hitting them with the ball. Players must dance around and zigzag to avoid the incoming shots as they try to fire at enemies.
