Fun Facts about Beach Balls
- Beach balls have a long history. They came to be in 1938 in California and were the idea of Jonathon DeLonge. Apparently, they were the size of a hand back then.
- The film industry played a key role in boosting their popularity. We can all thank films like Beach Party, How to Stuff a Wild Bikini, Beach Blanket Bingo, and Muscle Beach Party for keeping beach balls alive and thriving all the way to the 21st century. They became super-popular in the 1960s after appearing in a string of beach-themed movies starring Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello.
- They come in various sizes, from hand-sized to over 0.91 metres. In fact, the biggest beach ball even holds a Guinness record. With a diameter of almost 20 meters, the largest inflatable beach ball was used to promote the 2017 Baywatch It was set on a barge on the River Thames.
