A beach toy is a type of plaything designed for use on sandy shores or near water. Common examples include buckets, shovels, and inflatable items. These toys encourage outdoor play and creativity, allowing children to build sandcastles, dig holes, or float in the water. Beach toys are often made from durable, lightweight materials like plastic or rubber, making them easy to carry and resistant to water damage. They come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, appealing to different age groups. Popular brands include Little Tikes and Melissa & Doug, which offer a range of fun and safe options for beachgoers.
