You don't have to go to the beach to feel like you are there! Here are some ideas for a great beach party!

Fill a plastic or metal sand pail for each guest with the following:  beach ball, squirt gun, fun sunglasses, goldfish crackers, etc.

Just make a sheet cake, and frost all with blue-green frosting.

Make 'waves' with your knife or spatula on one side. And on the other side, break up graham crackers into 'sand' and sprinkle on for the 'beach'. Then, add palm trees, beach balls, etc.
Also you can add cookies and dress them in bathing suits using small gel frosting. Put down them on the sand - to 'sunbathe'. beach_party

- Palm trees, beach balls, etc. can be found at your local cake decorating shop.

You can also make blue-green jelly in a big clear glass bowl and added gummy fish- the only drawback on that one is that the fish didn't taste as good -but some people still did like it and it was too cute!

Another idea is to make chocolate candy seashells out of the candy molds and white and peach chocolate discs. Then melt and swirl the colors around to look marble and stick in the fridge - the result will be realistic looking seashells - and you can either put in cellophane bags for party favors or stuck in frosting on top of cupcakes.

Decorate the yard with torches, big pots of flowers, and lots of big beach balls in the pool- you can also add floating flowers in the pool.

Set up pool volleyball, or other pool games for a group. 

Don't forget:
Practice safe pool fun - make sure an adult is on 'lifeguard duty' at all times.
