A Beach Scavenger Hunt is a brilliant way to add a little adventure to your seaside day. Give kids a list of natural items, sights, or sounds to find, and let them explore the beach with fresh eyes and endless curiosity.
Not only does it keep kids active and engaged, but it also teaches them to observe details in nature, appreciate their surroundings, and even learn a little about marine life. You can keep it simple with a quick list or make it competitive with timed challenges!

• Printed or handwritten scavenger hunt list
