Beach Balls

Of course you will find a wide variety of beach balls on decathlon.com.gr, as playing in the sand and water is the ultimate must-do summer activity. In our collection, you will find everything from classic, lightweight inflatable beach balls for carefree play with the kids in the sea, to specialized, durable balls for beach sports. What are you waiting for? Get ready for unforgettable moments on the beach!

To choose the right lightweight ball for playing on the sand, the secret lies in the construction material and how it feels upon impact. We recommend avoiding classic leather balls and opting for beach balls with an outer lining made of neoprene or soft foam material. These materials are exceptionally lightweight, do not absorb water and get heavy, and most importantly, offer very soft contact with the skin, protecting hands and feet from pain during an intense match. Meanwhile, if you are looking for the perfect ball for playing with young children, a quality inflatable beach ball made of durable PVC remains the safest, most lightweight, and fun choice.

Of course there are waterproof beach balls for kids, which are specially designed for endless play in the water and on wet sand without deteriorating. Find beach balls made of high-quality PVC or covered with neoprene, a 100% waterproof material that does not absorb any water, allowing the ball to maintain a consistent weight and not get heavy. These kids' balls feature a soft texture so that small hands don't get hurt when hitting, come in bright, vibrant colors to be easily spotted in the waves, and offer an excellent grip even when completely wet, making them the safest and most fun beach gear for little athletes.

The beach balls most resistant to water and sun are those made of neoprene or reinforced, high-quality TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane). Beach balls with an outer neoprene lining—a material highly resistant to sea salt, chlorine, and prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation—are the perfect choice. Additionally, these balls feature an internal bladder to keep air pressure stable, while their sealed seams prevent moisture from seeping in, making them the most durable beach gear for endless summers of play and beach sports.

The ideal beach ball size for family play is one with a diameter between 40 and 50 centimeters. At decathlon.com.gr, we recommend this medium size because it is ideal for young children to catch and hit easily, yet compact enough not to get easily carried away by the wind. If the family includes very young children under 3 years old, you can choose a slightly smaller beach ball (around 30 centimeters) so they can control it better.

The inflatable beach balls that are easiest to carry are those made of ultra-thin, flexible yet durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or TPU, without any additional outer linings. At decathlon.com.gr, you will find beach balls that fold completely flat when deflated and take up minimal space, allowing you to store them even inside your swimsuit pocket.
For even greater convenience, look for models with smart rapid-deflation valves, so the air empties in seconds without effort, making them the most compact and practical beach gear to have with you on every summer escape.
