beach recreation

Sandy shore activities

Beach recreation encompasses leisure activities pursued at the shore—swimming, sunbathing, surfing, building sandcastles, playing volleyball, collecting shells.

The term appears in planning documents and tourism materials: The city invested in beach recreation facilities.

It covers both passive relaxation and active sports, unified by the coastal setting.
