'''Beaches''' are a type of [[community lot]] in ''[[The Sims
==The Sims==
In ''[[The Sims: Vacation]]'', one of the three distinct areas of [[Vacation Island]] is a beach area, which has three lots, a [[Palazzo Palms Hotel|hotel]], a [[Sunset Beach|campground]] and a [[Reclaimed Public Beach|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.
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 (The Sims)|Downtown]]. However, Sims will not be able to rent [[sandcastle kit]]s on these lots.
==The Sims 2==
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{{vgversion|University}}, hotels{{vgversion|Bon Voyage}}, apartments{{vgversion|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 [[Ocean swimming|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. [[Toddler]]s can also eat sand.
If ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons|Seasons]]'' is installed, the ground will not get completely covered in snow during Winter. Snow will still fall, but very rarely and only lightly.
===Player tips===
*Sims can drown in the water unless it's on a community lot{{Confirm}}
*Sunbathing long enough will give Sims a tan for a few days
*When ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons|Seasons]]'' is installed, Sims in the ocean can get struck by lightning{{Confirm}}

:
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]], [[Fishing (The Sims 3)|fish]], [[Cooking (The Sims 3)|cook]] and eat food, or make some drinks at a [[bar]]. Players can use a beach as [[Party#The Sims 3|party]] venue. Since beaches can be large and have plenty of refreshments and activities, that is a good choice.
Beach lots attract [[Sim]]s in a similar way to
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]].

==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 [[boat]]ing. The requirements for beach lots are one public bathroom, one lounge chair, one water vehicle and one float lounger, all of which are optional.
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. [[Mermaid]]s are drawn to beaches, but they will hide their tails until Sims in the player's household discover them.
===[[Sulani]] beaches===
Sulani has seven beachfront lots that can be built on, though only two are assigned as beaches by default.
