What is the Beach Price Index?

The Beach Price Index is a way to compare the cost of spending a day at different beaches around the world. It typically aggregates the price of 6 common items:

Sunscreen (200ml)
Bottle of Water (500ml)
Beer (330ml)
Ice Cream
Lunch (Main meal + dessert + drink)
Facility Fees (Lounger/Umbrella rental)

Global Comparisons

Prices vary wildly based on location. A day at a luxury beach club in Dubai or the French Riviera can cost well over $100 per person just for basics. Meanwhile, beaches in Vietnam or Turkey might offer a similar experience for under $20.

Budgeting Tips

To save money, consider bringing your own supplies (water, sunscreen, snacks) and visiting public beaches that don't charge entry fees. Facility fees and restaurant meals are usually the biggest expenses in the index.
