Because they are so light weight even when fully inflated, they are easy to bat around between individuals with little to no effort making them the perfect accessory to a lazy day at the beach. The balls are currently made in many different sizes, the most popular range from approximately 6 inches up to four feet.

Beach balls all have similar construction. There are two circular panels (one of which generally holds the inflation valve) that are used to secure the bulging rectangles that compose the sides. Colors are endless, and many have logos and bright patterns on them.

Beach balls had a big resurgence in popularity resulting from Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon’s string of beach movies in the 1960s. Now, beach balls are often seen at the beach, pool side, graduation ceremonies, rock concerts and any other place where there is a gathering of folks ready to have a good time.
