The Top 5 Seasonal Beach Games for Autumn & Winter Fun (Because Who Says the Beach is Just for Sunbathers?)
The Top 5 Seasonal Beach Games for Autumn & Winter Fun (Because Who Says the Beach is Just for Sunbathers?)
Let’s talk beach games. Most people think of summer, sweaty sunscreen faces, and sand sticking everywhere. But hear me out—autumn and winter beach games? Elite. The cooler air means you can actually run around without melting into a puddle, and with fewer people around, you have the whole beach to yourself. Here are my top picks for off-season beach fun:
1. Beach Paddle Games: The Ultimate ‘I’m More Athletic Than I Actually Am’ Activity
I grabbed my Boatshed7 beach paddles and let me tell you, I have never felt more like a pro athlete. The wind adds an unexpected level of difficulty, making even the simplest rallies feel Olympic-worthy. Bonus points if you manage to dive for the ball without face-planting in the sand (I did not succeed).
2. Beach Cricket & Soccer: Because Who Doesn’t Love a Little Friendly Competition?
There’s something about an empty beach that just screams ‘set up a game.’ Whether it’s cricket, soccer, or some made-up sport involving a frisbee and a coconut (don’t ask), this is peak winter beach entertainment. Plus, the sand is firmer in cooler months, meaning actual running is possible. Revolutionary.
3. Frisbee & Kite Flying: A Windy Day’s Best Friend
You haven’t lived until you’ve thrown a frisbee on a gusty autumn afternoon and watched it sail into oblivion. That, or you’ve successfully flown a kite without getting tangled in the string—either way, it’s a good time.
4. Sand Dune Running: The Ultimate Leg Day Workout (That No One Talks About)
I decided to run up and down sand dunes for fun once. Let’s just say my legs were not prepared. If you want a workout that makes you question all your life choices, this is it. 10/10 would do it again, though.
5. Shell Collecting & Beachcombing: AKA The Most Relaxing Activity Ever
Not all beach games have to be high-energy. Sometimes, wandering along the shore, finding cool shells, and pretending I’m a beachcombing expert is all the entertainment I need. It’s basically a treasure hunt, and I’m here for it.
So next time you think beach games are just for summer—think again. Autumn and winter bring a whole new level of fun, and with the right Boatshed7 gear, you’ll be winning (or at least laughing) all season long.
