Baggo (also called Cornhole in some parts of the country) is one of the most fun beach games that you can possibly own. While the rules are in depth and can be somewhat complicated, the idea is simply: throw the bean bags through the hole on the game board. Each Baggo set all you need to play the game, as well as a wall mounting bracket so that you can easily store your game when it's not being used.
