Summer is vacation time, when most of the population flocks to the sea coasts to get a good rest: lie on the beach under the rays of the warm sun, cool off in the healing sea water to recuperate and get a boost of energy and vitamins necessary for health and maintaining vitality. . Mostly (if you are not an avid swimmer), relaxation on the beach by the sea or any other body of water (lake, river, etc.) implies a passive type of recreation, that is, mainly spending time on the shore in the sun and periodically taking water treatments (swimming ).
These two types of pastime are the main ones in the idea of a vacation on the beach, but it is human nature to strive for variety in order to most fully satisfy one’s needs and desires, including during a vacation. As a result, many additional entertainments have arisen that accompany a beach holiday. This article will focus specifically on the various additional “options” for beach holidays (paid and free) currently available on certain beaches. The listed entertainments are sorted according to their availability and complexity.
Construction of structures made of sand.
Undoubtedly, everyone who has ever been to a sandy beach has definitely tried to build some kind of sand structure, be it a small slide or a beautiful castle or something more significant. This activity requires a little imagination and diligence. Here anyone can feel like a sculptor.
Inflatable beach slides, trampolines.
Nowadays there is one on every major public beach. They are structures made of inflatable blocks in the form of towns, castles and other structures that include slides, trampolines and trampolines. They give the opportunity to jump and tumble merrily, “fall back into childhood,” and give an emotional boost even to adults, not to mention teenagers and children.
Outdoor beach games.
For those who try to keep their body in decent physical shape, on almost every beach or in shallow water off the coast there is always a place for various outdoor games. The most common team games are: volleyball, football, badminton, throwing a flying saucer, catching up in water and many others are also interesting. One of the necessary conditions is to be in the sun with your head covered, so as not to get heat or sunstroke.
Bathing on a mattress/circle.
Tired of rubbing your sides on a sun lounger on the shore and want a more intense sensation, then you can enjoy the smooth rocking on the waves, lying on an air mattress or circle, next to the cool freshness of the sea.
Water ball, zorbing.
It’s also quite a fun activity when one or more people (depending on the size) are placed in an inflatable transparent ball or zorb. Such a ball (zorb) descends to the water surface and makes it possible to literally “walk on water.” The difference between a zorb and a ball is that the first has holes for ventilation, while the ball is usually solid.
Riding on a catamaran, boat.
Do you want to become the captain of a small ship and navigate the expanses of the water yourself? Then take the oars in your hands or put your feet on the pedals of the catamaran and forward. True, most likely you won’t be able to sail beyond the horizon, because these ships are not designed for long-term travel.
Riding on a banana, tablet.
Those who want to ride, sit on air mattress in the shape of a banana or a tablet/cheesecake, and a boat or powerful jet ski pulls it along on a cable, using various maneuvers to enhance the impression of the trip. This type of entertainment is semi-extreme, because it is associated with speed and risk, so you must wear a life jacket while riding.
Riding on a jet ski, boat or yacht.
Are you confident in your abilities and want to test yourself as a real “sea wolf”? At your service are walks on various modern watercraft: from jet skis (jet skis) to cruise yachts. Riding a jet ski is the most attractive because the roar of the engine, splashes, speed and limitless possibilities for movement and route selection give a feeling of superiority over the elements. An incredible outpouring of emotions is guaranteed. If you want a calmer and safer conquest of the sea, you can rent a boat or yacht.
Many people want to see the sea from a bird's eye view and feel extraordinary freedom. This opportunity is provided by flying on a parachute, which is attached by a cable to the boat. From above you can see the beauty of the sea and the coastal zone and get a huge dose of adrenaline.
Surfing, wind surfing.
These types of entertainment will appeal to fearless and extreme-loving people. In surfing, a person glides through the water, standing on a special board, using the forces of nature: for regular surfing, this is the force of a large wave; for wind surfing, this is the force of the wind, which wind surfers catch using a sail mounted on the board. These activities require certain skills and physical fitness.
Water skiing, wakeboarding.
These are more extreme types of entertainment that have already grown into sports. Both are associated with speed and extreme sports and require certain skills and coordination of movements. Suitable for many who have skied, skateboarded or snowboarded at least once in their life. Wakeboarding uses a special board (wakeboard), which is also tied to a boat or jet ski.
One of the youngest entertainments on the water. It is a special board connected by a hose to a pump, from the lower surface of which water pressure escapes through nozzles so that, due to the resulting pressure, it is possible to float above the water surface. It looks very impressive and requires some coordination and stability. According to some reports, you can fly up to a height of 12 meters on such a board!
Diving, spearfishing.
Diving into the depths of the sea, a diver can see the incredible beauty of the underwater world: a variety of sea creatures, remains of ancient civilizations. You can simply enjoy the views, but lately spearfishing has become common, when you can use special underwater weapons to catch any sea creature. In this type of entertainment, an experienced instructor must be present nearby.
This is not the entire list of events presented on different beaches around the world.

Catamaran ride

Outdoor recreation near the water would be incomplete without a walk along the calm surface of the water.

From them you can dive and jump into the water, which many children like, swim next to them and climb back. Those who are not very good swimmers or are afraid of depth will be given life jackets.
Thus, for those who like to ride on the sea, the A-Sea recreation center is the most suitable place to relax on the move, that is, actively. Have fun and relax well with us!
Riding on a tablet, banana and wakeboard
The so-called tablets are a large inflatable ring with a bottom on which passengers sit during the ride. Despite the apparent simplicity of this beach activity, while riding you will get a surge of adrenaline and a lot of fun.
The tablet is towed by a boat and is designed for 1-2 passengers. After the tablet is towed from the beach area, the real show begins with screams of delight.
If you wish, when ordering this most interesting attraction at the A-Sea recreation center, you can, of course, ask that the ride take place at low speed and without sharp turns, but then you will deprive yourself of the pleasure of feeling all the charm of this beach entertainment. The full-length skating program includes tablet flips, turns at high speed and jumping over waves like on a springboard.
While relaxing at the A-Sea base, riding a banana is no problem, such entertainment is offered to everyone. A company of 4-8 people sits astride a “banana” and rushes across the expanses of water! You need to hold on tight, as the “banana” flies through the waves, and sometimes a group of riders begins to swing it on purpose, and at this moment you can easily fly off it. But there is no need to be afraid that the squad will not notice the loss of a fighter - they will come back and definitely pick you up!
Graceful gliding through the water, beautiful turns behind the boat, and rapid movement will bring a sea of joy and delight. And how many health benefits! After all, wakeboarding develops endurance and coordination. This is an excellent form of active recreation. We invite you to exciting and unforgettable wakeboard rides.
Every year the demand for water activities increases. All more people become businessmen renting water toys...
For example: let’s take a jet ski, which will pay for itself in one season. It's hard to believe sometimes, but it really pays off. For one minute of riding a jet ski, the owner can charge up to 50 rubles. The pleasure is expensive and it is worth it.
A person who rode a jet ski for the first time can confidently say that he liked it. We won't stop at the jet ski, we'll buy a water banana. The banana consists of two inflatable sausages that are pulled behind a jet ski on a long rope.
This attraction can accommodate from six to eighteen people. One ten-minute trip costs 100 rubles, and it’s not hard to calculate that at one time you will receive from 600 to 1800 rubles. But this is only one flight, some manage to make up to 40 flights a day.
The banana will pay for itself quickly. Everything needs to be done gradually and carefully. After a good profit, it is best to invest money in a good boat. The more horsepower in the engine, the more fun the attraction will have, and therefore the more regular customers.
There is a lot of money to be made in the vast expanse of water, but you can also work close to the water. Now many people are trying to repeat the success story of one successful businessman, who rented water balloons to various boarding houses and health camps.
They represented a spherical sphere, into which a person climbed and moved the ball. His merit was good idea, which had never been used before, that is, he himself looked for new attractions on foreign sites and ordered them.
Catamarans are the pride of any tourist city that has access to the sea. True, the costs of this type of business can be high. One catamaran costs from $1000.
Depending on the weather, it pays for itself in 3-4 seasons. A catamaran can boast that it can be used in small bodies of water, but a jet ski should only be used in large spaces.
The strongest and most interesting idea Now we’ll tell you.
These are water slides. Remember your vacation in Ukraine or Russia. Any beach is equipped with giant slides. This attraction will pay for itself in one season, and you need to invest about 3,000 euros in it. It is possible to develop the network of slides further by investing new profits in equipment.
For example: you received 4,000 euros per season from one slide, so invest this money on another slide and next season you will have double profit. A good investment, isn't it?
If you start making a profit, then don’t stand still, move forward and conquer new places “under the sun”...
The first warm days have already begun to delight Russians, which means that the long-awaited vacation is just around the corner. The warm sea, sand and cool drinks attract people, making them forget about work and everyday problems.
Some choose foreign resorts with a five-star hotel, others buy a train ticket to visit domestic beaches and sanatoriums. But both are united by the feeling of having a good rest, carefree spending the money earned during the year. That is why residents of resort towns are rubbing their palms with anticipation, because they will make good money from renting housing, trading and beach activities.
Business on the beach is considered the simplest and most profitable way to make money at the resort; every year it brings its owners many thousands of profits in just three to four months. Beach business is considered one of the most profitable and highly profitable.
Earnings from beach activities are seasonal, usually lasting from three to four months a year. But, despite such a short period of time, organized business on the beach can bring profit, which will make it possible to live carefree for the remaining year or open a new business. In addition, these three to four months of working days will be spent on the beach, near the warm sea, so it is difficult to imagine a more pleasant working atmosphere.
Where to start?
First you need to decide on the type of beach business. Typically, all options for a successful beach business are divided into several types:
- Without large capital investments. A type of business that does not require significant initial investment from the owner.
- With significant investment. This category of business will require owners to spend money on expensive equipment, repairs and furnishings.
Experienced entrepreneurs claim that to open a small business on the beach you will need only five hundred to seven hundred dollars. Anyone can find these funds without much difficulty. For example, selling seeds, dried fish, and corn will require “pennies,” and the profit will cover all expenses tenfold.
In order to start offering your services and goods on the beach, it is not even necessary to register an individual entrepreneur or LLC, but if you are a law-abiding citizen, then you can go through this procedure.
Whether you will need to rent a place on the beach or you will be a free wanderer with a bag of groceries on your shoulder depends on the type of business you choose.
Cons of a beach business
Opening a business on the beach is a very promising path in business, but it also has its drawbacks.
- Working on the beach is very grueling. Not every person can stay under the scorching sun all day, and it is unprofitable to trust the business to a hired employee. Often the staff hides part of the proceeds from the owner or even runs away with it.
- SES workers will monitor your business very closely, waiting for the moment when you can be fined. As already mentioned, many beach businessmen work without permission, because obtaining these documents incurs large costs.
Types of business
Now let's give some ideas for a beach business that will bring long-awaited profits to the owner.
Providing comfort
Russians are already accustomed to relaxing in comfort; no one goes to the beach anymore with a towel on which to sunbathe. Everyone wants to grab a sun lounger and an umbrella for a comfortable stay. Therefore, renting umbrellas and sun loungers is the most popular beach business. The costs of purchasing equipment are recouped for the owners already in the first days of the season, and then bring a stable profit until closing.
People are already accustomed to paying for comfort, so renting sun loungers and umbrellas is a profitable business.
Dry toilets, showers and changing cabins are the next point of comfortable relaxation. People don’t mind paying twenty to thirty rubles for the convenience that the owner of this type of business offers them. After all, for one person this is a trifle, but if you count the number of daily visitors, it turns out that this type of income is very promising.
Beach visitors are willing to pay even for the comfort of changing into swimsuits and swimming trunks. Attractions
The most popular beach business is the opening of attractions. Entertainment, both on land and on water, is in constant demand among beach visitors. Of course, this type of business will require investment, but it will more than pay off for its owner.
The most popular attractions on the beach are:
All these types of attractions bring joy and fun to customers, which is main task this business. The main expenses are the costs of purchasing attraction equipment, renting and registering a business in all instances: SES, tax, state inspection for small vessels. But all these little things will be justified by the profit received from renting attractions.
Renting three to four jet skis brings owners a decent daily income. Remember: The entrepreneur must pass a test on his knowledge of the rules for organizing recreation on the water in a shipping company.
The total amount of investment for this type of business is three hundred to four hundred thousand rubles, depending on the quality of the purchased equipment. For example, a rubber water zorb costs twenty thousand rubles, in order to receive good profit you need to purchase 4-5 balloons. An above-ground trampoline, depending on its size, costs from one hundred to two hundred thousand rubles, but costs can be reduced if the trampoline is rented. A water scooter costs from forty thousand rubles; for full operation you will need to purchase 3-4 of these scooters.
Roll off water slide – great fun for both adults and children. Rent for the occupied space will cost from 15 to 50 thousand rubles, depending on the size of the attraction. The salary of employees who instruct clients and collect money is 18-20 thousand rubles. But it is possible to save on this if the entrepreneur himself does it.
Sale of gifts and souvenirs
Any person who comes on vacation to the sea will definitely buy a souvenir as a keepsake, as well as gifts for their family and friends. Particularly popular are unique souvenirs that are difficult to find in hometown. Often these souvenirs are figurines made of shells, bracelets made of sea stones, talismans, wicker items.
In order to sell these products, you will need to find suppliers, who are local craftsmen, and also rent a place on the beach. The markup on such a product averages from one hundred to three hundred percent, so this type of business is considered very profitable.
Each person strives to bring a memorable souvenir from the resort. Sale of ice cream and draft kvass
Ice cream and kvass are the most popular products on the beach. The queues near ice cream stalls and kvass stalls do not decrease from morning to evening. Therefore, this beach business option attracts many entrepreneurs.
The starting investment for opening a point selling ice cream and kvass is approximately the same and amounts to about one hundred thousand rubles. Typically, sales points do not take up much space on the beach, so rent will not exceed thirty thousand per month.
Draft kvass and ice cream help to escape the heat, so selling this product on the beach is never a problem.
Beach store
A store with swim accessories is another type of highly profitable beach business. Vacationers are undoubtedly ready to spend money on purchasing inflatable rings, balls, suntan creams and lotions, diving maxis, towels, swimsuits, and swimming trunks. In addition to sales, it is also possible to rent equipment - surfboards, balls, circles and even boats.
Every year, enterprising businessmen find new types of services to entertain vacationers, however, there is enough profit for everyone. Therefore, if you are choosing where to start your business journey, then stop at beach entrepreneurship. Because more than sixty percent of people doing business on the beach pay off their business and make a stable profit throughout the season.
