You'd think the beach was one place where our kids would never run out of stuff to do. But as we all discover sooner or later, a kid can only swim, splash, sculpt sand, and fly a kite for so long. At some point, it's time for some real games. Luckily, the beach is a ready-made playground. It's got the perfect play surface -- soft, safe, and easily rearranged to suit our needs -- and it's equipped with plenty of free materials, from rocks to driftwood. Turns out, all we really need for some wild beach fun is a little imagination -- and the games on the following pages. So come on. Let's get playing.
