Beach
Beach that Owns
A beach in Sunset Valley.

Beaches are a type of community lot in The Sims: Vacation and The Sims 2: Bon Voyage, and also a lot assignment in The Sims 3 and The Sims 4: Island Living.

The Sims[]

In The Sims: Vacation, one of the three distinct areas of Vacation Island is a beach area, which has three lots, a hotel, a campground and a community lot. Sims will normally wear swimsuits in this area, though they cannot go into the sea. However, on some lots, the sea can be seen and the ocean waves are often heard when playing, mostly in the early morning, evening and early night. In early hours of the morning and on some afternoons, seagulls can also be heard squawking.

While it is not possible to create beach lots, it is possible to create lots that look like beaches, such as SimCity Beach in Downtown. However, Sims will not be able to rent sandcastle kits on these lots.

The Sims 2[]

Proper beach lots were introduced in The Sims 2: Bon Voyage, and must be placed adjacent to a body of water. Premade beaches can be found on Twikkii Island, but players can also create their own beaches in any neighborhood. Many premade neighborhoods do not provide room for creating beach lots, however. An easy default location that allows the player to build a beach lot is Bluewater Village.

To create a beach, open the Lots and Houses bin from the neighborhood screen. Click on the Specialty Lots button next, and options to create special lots such as dormitories[University], hotels[Bon Voyage], apartments[Apartment Life], etc. Click on the Create Beach option in the left-hand area, next to the thumbnails of special lots.

Beach lots function the same as regular lots, but the side facing the lot will contain a segment of ocean that Sims can swim in. Swimming in the ocean will provide a vacation memento, even if the beach lot is not located in a vacation neighborhood. Sims can build sandcastles, comb for seashells, watch the waves, and sunbathe on the actual beach along the shoreline. Toddlers can also eat sand.

If Seasons is installed, the ground will not get completely covered in snow during Winter. Snow will still fall, but very rarely and only lightly.

Gameplay description[]

Attracts
Sims with the Athletic and Loves the Outdoors traits.
Deters
Sims with the Hates the Outdoors trait.
Skill encouragement
Sims with the athletic skill are encouraged to visit and build the skill.

Although Sims can visit beaches in The Sims 3, they cannot swim (returned in The Sims 3 Seasons and Patch 42), comb for seashells, build sandcastles, or watch the waves. They can only sunbathe on the loungers, play chess, fish, cook and eat food, or make some drinks at a bar. Players can use a beach as party venue. Since beaches can be large and have plenty of refreshments and activities, that is a good choice.

Beach lots attract Sims in a similar way to pool lots. Beaches often feature grills and deck chairs. Sims can also go jogging around the beach at the morning. Sims may bring their toddlers here. If Pets is installed, pets from other households do not visit beach lots.

In The Sims 3: Island Paradise, beaches are expanded. NPC Sims will now swim in the ocean autonomously and Sims can now sunbathe on beach towels and play in the sand. It is also where the Lifeguard profession takes place.

Areas with no beaches[]

There are no beaches in Riverview, though the river and fish hatchery makes up for it. There are no lots assigned as beaches in the World Adventures destinations of Al Simhara, Champs Les Sims, and Shang Simla.

Hidden Springs from The Sims 3 Store has no beaches. It has a lot similar to a beach, but it is assigned as a fishing spot.

Unlike other beaches, beaches from Oasis Landing are not surrounded by or located adjacent to the ocean. These are called Dried up beach. Sims mostly use this place for sunbathing.[TS3:S] It can be filled with water using the Edit Town mode, however it is very small and the spacing for filling the water is narrow.[confirmation needed] Alternately, the Water Tool can create a lake under the foundation, but calling that scenario a normal beach would be an overstatement.

The Sims 4: Island Living[]

In The Sims 4: Island Living, beaches function similarly to parks, except Sims will also autonomously partake in beach activities such as sunbathing, building sand sculptures, swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving and boating. The requirements for beach lots are one public bathroom, one lounge chair, one water vehicle and one float lounger, all of which are optional. If The Sims 4: My Wedding Stories is also installed, lots in Tartosa can be designated as beaches.

Beaches have lifeguards on duty during the day, which is when this venue type has the most visitors. At nighttime, beaches are much less busy. Mermaids are drawn to beaches, but they will hide their tails until Sims in the player's household discover them.
