The Beach Ball is a novelty item. Using it creates an interactive beach ball for players to bounce around. After 2 seconds of sitting still or coming to a full stop and then being tapped, it reverts to its item form which can be picked up and reused.

• On the  PC version,  Console version,  Mobile version,  Old Chinese version,  tModLoader version, and  tModLoader 1.3-Legacy version, the Beach Ball can be purchased from the Party Girl for 20, but cannot be found in Water Chests.
• On the  Old-gen console version,  Windows Phone version, and Nintendo 3DS version it cannot be purchased, and can instead be found in Water Chests.

If the Beach Ball is 'hit' more than 10 times without it touching the ground, a status message appears saying 'Beach Ball was hit X times before hitting the ground.'

The Beach Ball in action

Physics

• The Beach Ball reacts to blocks, doors, and liquid as boundaries and will bounce off them normally.
• When touching players, the ball reacts as though it were struck, repelling away with increased velocity. This occurs even for players standing still, but more so if they are in motion, which can easily send the ball flying off-screen.
• The Beach Ball is not affected by NPCs or furniture, and weapons or tools used on them will simply pass through without interacting.

Notes

• If the Beach Ball travels off the left or right edges of the map, it often cannot be retrieved, and presumably despawns.
• The Beach Ball is considered a projectile, and will therefore activate Teal Pressure Pads.
