About Beach Friends: It's basically like summer vacation but you don't have to physically go to the beach! Hang out with friends, or strangers - with voice chat. Build sand castles. Ruin sand castles. Sell ice cream. Eat ice cream. Surf. Play volleyball with bad physics. Everything is interactable (not really, you wish)
