Take a slow walk on a little pixel beach. Waves wash up seashells, sand dollars, sea glass and the odd shark tooth. Pick them up, and spend them to make the beach your own. BUILD YOUR SPOT Set out deck chairs, blankets, umbrellas and sail shades, then move, flip and rearrange them however you like. Craft wind chimes, shell mosaics and more from your finds. BUILD SANDCASTLES Buy a bucket and spade, then stamp out towers, flags, walls and moats. TAKE IT EASY The sun gets hot: cool off in the shade, go wading, float out on a swim ring, or grab an ice cream from the kiosk. Sit back in a chair with a good book and relax. COMPANY Other animals drop by, sit on your chairs, admire your castle and leave shell tips. Some of them wear hats. You can wear hats too: party hat, sun hat, captain's cap, pirate hat and a very fancy crown (most hats come with the Beach Pass). A BEACH THAT CHANGES Day turns to sunset and starry night. Tides come in and out and leave tide pools with crabs and treasure. Breezes, drizzles and rainbows drift through. Seagulls try to steal your shells, so shoo them away! SOMETHING NEW EACH DAY Three small daily goals, a stamp card to fill, a collection book of everything you have found, and a rocky cove to unlock. Play as a bunny, cat, frog or duck. Take photos of your beach, save them to Photos and share them. Free to play, with no ads and no accounts. One optional purchase, the Beach Pass, opens the rocky cove, crafting and every hat, and it's yours to keep.
