I love a visit to the beach. However, I was never the girl who laid out to get a tan. I love to swim, build sandcastles, watch the sunset over the water, climb lighthouses, and generally play some fun beach games. To give you some inspiration, here’s a list of fun beach games you can play together as a family.
