The Best Beach and Pool Toys for Kids and Adults

Playing in the water should be fun, not frustrating. But too many beach and pool toys don’t survive a day’s use, let alone till the end of the summer. We spent more than 40 hours researching and testing pool noodles, water guns, snorkel sets, and more to find the best toys for kids and adults. Unlike the disposable-quality stuff in most big-box stores, our picks are built to last. That means more playing and fewer cracked-shovel-induced tantrums.
