A beach wave playset for simulating an approach of a wave toward a
shoreline. The playset can have a beach member, a wave member, and a pivot
axle for enabling the wave member to pivot into and out of proximity with
the beach member. Decorative elements, such as surfboards, dolls, and
inner tubes, can be retained relative to the wave member and can be moved,
such as by a drive wheel and motion conversion assembly combination,
during a pivoting of the wave member to enable a realistic wave riding
simulation. A plurality of water panels can simulate an underlying water
surface. The wave member could be moved manually or by a motor
arrangement, and electronic play effects could be induced in response to a
movement of the wave member.
