beach ball

Seaside inflatable sphere

A beach ball is a large, lightweight inflatable ball, typically decorated with bright colored stripes or panels.

Designed for casual play at beaches and pools, beach balls bounce slowly and unpredictably in the air, making them easy to bat around: The crowd bounced a beach ball across the stadium.
