Beach access guides, chair rental prices, and club day passes at top destinations.
Beach clubs and resort beaches sell day passes the same way resorts sell pool access — with a friendly headline number and a much larger bill once you add loungers, umbrellas, food minimums, and parking. We verify what each pass actually includes before you hand over a card.
Some beaches are genuinely free with a cheap chair rental a short walk away; others gate the only good stretch of sand behind a club. We tell you which is which, and when the pass is worth it.
