beachball

Inflatable seaside sphere

A beachball is a large, lightweight inflatable ball used for casual play at beaches, pools, and outdoor gatherings.

The classic design features brightly colored panels.

Beachballs bounce slowly and unpredictably, making them easy to bat around: A beachball drifted into the crowd at the concert.
