Abstract
A beach game includes markers for planting into the sand and water indicator bands which change color upon becoming wet. A player attaches a water indicator band to his ankle or other body part and pursues retreating waves in the direction of the water. The player plants the marker into the wet sand as far out as possible, without wetting the water indicator, and then returns back up the beach in front of the resurging surf. The object of the game is to plant the marker further out than the other players without wetting the water indicator. The game is particularly advantageous for young children because the players necessarily avoid significant contact with water.
