Fun in the Sun: These are the 5 Best Beach and Yard Games for Adults to Play This Summer

When the weather starts heating up, it’s nearly impossible to stay indoors. You’ve probably started flocking to the beach, picnicking in the park, or maybe grilling in your backyard, but do you have the best beach and yard games for adults to maximize the outdoor summer fun?

If you’re someone who easily gets bored, beach and outdoor yard games are perfect for you. They’ll bring out your competitive side and will provide hours of entertainment for all ages. Most of these games are low-impact, which is ideal when the sun is high and you’re breaking a sweat just by opening the cooler. Others, like Spikeball, are high intensity and can double as your workout for the day. What’s most important though, the majority of these games are one-handed so you can easily hold a cocktail with the other. Scroll on to shop the best yard games for adults and kids!

Spikeball

Warning, this game is 100% going to bring out your inner athlete. Kind of like volleyball, this 4-player game will have you vollying and spiking the ball to earn points for your team. It’s easy to assemble and folds up into a convenient carrying bag so you can tote this almost anywhere. We recommend playing this at the beach or on the grass since you’ll probably dive for a ball, but you can pretty much play this anywhere you have space to move around.
