Beach Scavenger Hunt
One fun thing about scavenger hunts is that they can be done individually or in groups. Siblings can pair up and compete as teams, or they can work individually and race against each other.
Beach Scavenger Hunt Clues
This scavenger hunt is designed for use at the beach. You can use this during a beach vacation or on a day trip to your local shore.
Your family should be able to find most of these objects during one trip. However, you may have trouble finding a few such as a palm tree or lifeguard.
Before you head to the beach, you could divvy up the list amongst all your children. Give preschoolers and toddlers 1-2 items at a time to search for. Young readers can read through the list and see what they can find.
