If you like Basketball Stars

Basketball Stars made 1v1 hoops a mobile favorite: one court, one opponent, quick games. Beach Hoops follows the same plan. The difference is the setting and the feel. You play on a beach court in 3D, with a shot meter that rewards good timing over fast tapping.

Games are short. First to 11 goes by fast, so a rematch is always a tap away.

Tips for beating Ray

Use Cross before you shoot. A crossover opens space, and an open shot is easier to time.

Release on green, not just near it. Perfect timing is worth more than a rushed shot. When Ray gets close to the rim, stay between him and the hoop. Watch the clock on the backboard: the shot timer keeps the game moving.

How this 1v1 basketball game online compares

Many basketball games online are free-throw challenges or full 5v5 sims. Beach Hoops sits in between: real moves and a real opponent, without a whole team to manage.

It also gives you a reason to learn the moves. Ray defends, so dribbles and crossovers are not just for show.
