Beach Word Search
Word search puzzles are fun for kids and adults alike, and are a perfect activity for summer!
I have created nine different word searches of varying difficulty (they are color-coded) using words and phrases associated with summer and the beach as described below:
- In the three easy (blue) word search puzzles, single words appear horizontally and vertically and forwards only.
- In the three medium (yellow) word search puzzles, single words and phrases appear horizontally, vertically, diagonally, and forwards only.
- In the three hard (pink) word search puzzles, words appear forwards and backward and in all directions – horizontally, vertically, and diagonally.
- They are laid out in the printable in difficulty order, from easy to medium to hard.
Also included are the answer sheets to all the puzzles should you have trouble finding all of the words/phrases.
Puzzles like this summer word search are also fab for those with a competitive nature!
Whether it is by yourself and trying to solve the puzzle against a timer, or with other people and see who can find all the words first.
As you find the words, cross them off the list.
I like to use highlighter pens to mark words when I find them instead of crossing them through.
Highlighting the words is best for children as the letters can still be clearly seen (useful when words cross paths on the grid).

- Printables are available in two paper sizes – A4 and US Letter (8.5″ x 11″). Download the size that is appropriate for your printer.
How To Solve A Word Search
A list of words (and phrases) is hidden in a grid of jumbled-up letters.
You must search through the grid to find the words, crossing them off the list as you go.
Words appear in a straight, unbroken line. Two-word clues, such as “BATHING SUIT” will be unbroken and appear as “BATHINGSUIT” in the grid without a space in between the words.
Depending on the difficulty level of the puzzle, words may appear forwards, backward, horizontally, vertically, and/or diagonally. The directions for each puzzle are included in the printable.
Benefits of Word Searches
Word searches are great brain training puzzles for people of all ages.
They are fun to do and they have some great benefits including:
- Developing word recognition
- Developing pattern recognition
- Encourage problem-solving
- Increasing vocabulary
- Improving spelling
- Can help to boost your memory and brain development
